The last two days have been tremendously difficult! Yesterday morning we weaned Baby Louie (a 6 month old colt) from his mother, who we believe is pregnant again. It did not go well. He ended up hurting himself quite dramatically, but is OK now. It was just very sad and scary. We moved him to the property where I live around 9pm in the pitch black and the other horses tried to kill him. We had to catch them all and separate them in the dark, which led to injuries and craziness all around. This morning he jumped the arena fence 3 times to go be with the crazy boys just because he was afraid of being alone, and my poor boyfriend got scratched in the eye with a corneal abrasion! So I’m leading him around like a blind man, and anyhow, jeez, excuse me! I couldn’t get to the computer until just now. I’ll be building the new shelter on my own tomorrow (well I’ll certainly try!) and then Friday is my 30th Birthday! If you don’t hear from me tomorrow, just know that the horses come first, but I will make up for any lost days of content when I return to work as usual by Saturday.
