My morning muck-heap/sunrise view at 08.00 this morning.

Possibly an omen or a message from the Heavens…..

I decided that Albie could go out and join the others on the scrappy grass pasture they are allowed for daylight hours (8 – 3).

He’s moving much better now and back to his “normal” self.

And was very happy to be out of his prison.

Sadly, Tiddles and Storm were less lucky.  Storm is not well at all.  He struggles to walk on the hard-standing surrounding the containers, so I led him and Tiddles back into the school, whereupon they walked almost normally and showed no signs of difficulty.

The blood results came back, though, and he has confirmed EMS – Equine Metabolic Syndrome.  To be honest, I think they all have it.  The treatment from the vet was for Storm to “LOSE WEIGHT!“. Soaked hay and not much else then.

But I am glad one more is back to normal, well as normal as Albie will ever get.

Oh yes, and Newt got separated from the herd when they went out and had a bijoux panic attack trying to find them.  He reminded me of a baked bean being shot out of a cannon as he galloped off to find them.
