Two evenings ago Peet phoned Johan to say that he noticed Zorro was looking under the weather and he hadn't been too interested in his food earlier. Between the two of them it was decided to take him to our vet early the following morning, who is just around the corner from Peet anyway...Three injections later and Zorro is according to Peet a little perkier but definitely in no condition to ride the 500 km to the Battle of Blood River commemorative day. Our vet reckons he must rest and stay calm for a few days and it may take a few weeks before he is back to his old self. In the mean time he is on his own for a while and not with the other horses, which is probably a good thing because Navajo, being the only stallion, is already feeling the effects of being separated from Switch, so will probably not take too kindly to the arrival of Zorro at this time.
Home...but not a happy chappy
Still able to graze which is a good sign
Angel and August watching and waiting for him to see them
Navajo too waiting but still not interested in them
