Rainbow Sprites


The ponies have got new rugs.  Little rugs are expensive, the same price as it is for a rug for Wolfie.  I got these two cheap....they are very bright :-).  So what do you do when you get a new, very bright rug?






Honey got the second part of her flu/tetanus vaccination today.  She was terrified again. She leapt 4ft in the air and her legs and body were trembling.  However, afterwards she stayed beside me and let me rub her head.  I wasn't to blame this time and she was happy to stay with me.  All three were shod / trimmed today also.  Honey was excellent with the farrier, he took a fair amount of growth off this time, but she stood still, picked her feet up when asked and seemed fairly relaxed.  She is really beginning to settle now, she lets you touch her all over and is enjoying being brushed and having attention.  She's still very warey of some things, I still can't muck or skip out if she's in the stable, but her little personality is starting to come out, her eyes are brighter and she is beginning to look as though she is enjoying life.  So she will get the final part of her vaccination in around 5 months which will coincide with Wolfie and Buttons getting their boosters so I will be able to get all three vaccinated together.
