Søndagsturer

Siden Knife fikk føll i natt ble Sioux gående alene, og siden hun ble satt i sin sedvanlige paddock uten selskap ved siden var det mye stress og mas på morgenen. Da jeg kom hadde hun (heldigvis ikke stygge) tråkkskader og tydelige svettemerker stakkars...

Tok med pussesaker og stelte henne ute i paddocken, så gikk vi en liten tur hvor hun fant noen gresstuster og slappet av før vi gikk inn og stelte sår. Hun var åpenbart ikke særlig interessert i å stå ute alene, men været var altfor fint til å la henne stå inne, så da ble det enda en - lang - "tur". Siden hun er så tung i kroppen vil jeg ikke akkurat ta henne med meg avgårde, men vi putlet rundt på gården i flere timer, var sosiale, nøt solskinnet og litt gress.

As Knife had her foal last night Sioux was alone outside all of a sudden. And when put in her regular paddock without any company there was a lot of stress in the morning. By the time I arrived she'd trodden herself and was bleeding and sweating, poor thing...

Took the grooming- and first aid kit outside, and looked her over. Went for a short walk and let her graze and relax a little. Then we went indoors to take proper care of the wounds. She obviously didn't want to be outside alone, but the weather was much too lovely for her to be stood inside for several extra hours, so we went out again. As she's so heavy we didn't walk far, but rather just mooched around the yard, found some grass and met with people.
