Took Pride and Piper in today to the vets to get gelded.I have mixed feelings I know we needed to get it done and it is for the best but I can't help feeling a little
guilty. It will be nice when we can everyone together in the same field (yes I am trying to give myself a pep talk.
Pride is a 34 inch 8 year old silver dapple and just a sweetheart, he is also my driving horse(and a rescue). We took him to visit the personal care home (nursing home) in town, put vet wrap on his feet and we went right inside. There was also about 8 very active 3 and 4 year olds visiting at the same time.
However Pride took it all in stride. Before we left one gentleman who's wife lives there, patted my arm and with tears in his eyes said our visit meant so much and
thanked us for coming. Well that sure made my day!
We also visited a retirement program and a vocational program for people who
live with an intellectual disability. Pride sure got lots of hugs, pats and love there.
I wouldn't take just any horse there, it has to be a horse with very special qualities, which Pride has.
Piper is a 40 inch (about) 2 year old appy. Don't ask me what colour I'm not very good with that ( I think he is frosted).He stayed in the trailer as he is not as quiet as Pride. He is very much a pocket pony he is always sticking his nose into stuff (even when I am cleaning the barn)
Piper will be a future driving horse(I hope). He was a very good boy when I put the harness on him for the first time last week.
Candy the mare stayed home (lucky girl)!
The horses are not show animals (or even reg) and they are overwieght (we are working on that) but I love them and our family has so much fun with them.
I need to figure out how to post pics one day
Sorry I guess this got kind of long!
