After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time! most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke. She's a good rider but hasn't known Ladyhawke for very long and didn't realize how much of a cranky boss mare she could be at times. She kicked Jester right in the front leg just about halfway through the ride, and while the cut itself ended up not being a big deal in the
The other day all three of the mares were dewormed.....with a double dose of Strongid (pyrantel pamoate)! YUM! LOL! At least they are all very good about it. They make faces at me, but stand nicely with their heads down and accept it. One tube for each side of the mouth!
It is funny, in a sadistic kind of way, how they smack their lips like they are eating peanut butter. But of course, dewormer cannot taste good. :P
Each of them dug into their dinners with a small spot of light green smudge on the side of their mouths. :D Good mares.
