This morning saw Monika (Sandness Equine Services) and me loading up Tiddles and Waffle to take them to the vet to have blood taken so we could decide upon the best treatment for them.

I thought I could save some money if I took the ponies to the vet and they both loaded beautifully, even Tiddles who can have a bit of a moment about the horsevan when he thinks about it.

Yes, Tiddles you know you do!

It was actually easier than I thought it would be and Waffle was perfect, while Tiddles managed to rear about 2″ off the ground when he was waiting in the van.  It wasn’t very dramatic and he looked like a large chess piece having a bit of a strop so Monika went and comforted him while Waffle had his blood taken.

Once home and we put them back to join their friends again in the field.

After lunch, I let Fivla and Vitamin out to graze the grass around the house.

Seeing Vitamin in the rain made me think she should could do with a little extra weight on her.

Vitamin was very obliging and followed me around telling me how she would like go back into the shed and have an early tea please, possibly two.

So that’s us. We will wait for the blood results next.
