Friday Night Grooming 11/7

So I went and helped out with the T10 and T8 grooming class on Friday, well you can't test unless your in Red Division so that was a huge bummer. So my friend and I brought Jade up and gave her the grain. We also filled up the Clorox bottles with 50% bleach and 50% water. Then we helped the kids find their horses. Once they were done with feet there wasn't much for us to do. I was helping with Summer's feet. She puts all her weight on the foot you are trying to pick so I was literally supporting all her weight holding her knee while the tenderfoot picked the foot. When we finished the front I gently released her foot but she wasn't ready for it and freaked out a little. She was just being a bratty mare. So once her feet were finally taken care of I went and helped the girl with Casper. She gets grain before she bridles in the mornings when we ride so now she thinks she always gets grain before bridling so she was not happy. She was thrashing her head around and smacked the poor girl in the nose. She took it so well. So we tried again with me holding her head. I felt her pull back and yelled LET GO! but she wasn't fast enough and I got smacked on the side of my head... OW. So then we gave up and let her bridle Ashley instead. After that excitement Levi look like he could be colicing so we pulled him and gave him a look over. Our caretaker said his sounds were great and his refill time was excellent. He was just kicking at his belly a lot so we decided to keep him up in sick bay. So my friend and I got to help fill up his water and get him settled in. Then Candy looked like her tumor might have come back in her foot so we had to get her stall ready as well. After that we got to go update the white bored in the tack room so that was fun. Then the tenderfeet were done and we swept out the tack room and left. I was SUPER tired.

  1. At first I thought you said that Levi actually did have colic and i panicked, but then I read the next line and just started laughing at myself.....
