Well this morning I got another lovely surprise by our newest member of the family. Katie had decided that she had an itch on her butt that just had to be scratched and the round pen was the perfect place to do that, well for the 3rd time since we found this wound on her she once again ripped it wide open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had just gotten it to the point that it was starting to scab over nicely and she goes and pulls a fast one on me.... I am thinking that she likes our new vet and wants her to visit more often! So once again I am putting the call into the vet to see if there is something that we can do to get this stupid stubborn thing to heal and be done with it.
I was sitting there thinking I remember when I was a kid and wanted that free puppy from the neighbor and my dad told me "there is no such thing as a free pet" well I now fully understand that. Katie may have been a free horse but the bills that go along with her are far from free. I have spent more this year on the vet for her alone than my other 6 horses combined!! And just to feed her is like feeding a small army with all the different stuff that goes into her feed. I spend more in one week on her feed and supplements alone than on all 6 of my other horses, but I know that it is worth it when I hear her whinny from across the pasture cause she knows that it is feeding time
