Almost time.....

At last we were able to get the horse sickness injections from our vet...he waited months to receive them himself from Onderstepoort.  So all but Zorro have been injected and he will only have his after he comes back from the out-ride.

We have to step up on spraying for ticks as they have picked up many since going next door to graze every day.  Switch barely fits through the crusher these days and we noticed at the weekend that her teats have started filling so it not be too long now before she has her foal....two to four weeks, hopefully.  If on time as we predict, then it should be here before NiQi goes to hospital which will be great as she is looking forward to the whole event.

  1. I am so needle shy I couldn't do this myself - but I expect Nix has had plenty of practice.
