This is for the savage mare and her baby (the baby, for the record, has turned out VERY cute and sweet so far). Several days ago I noticed a thick, calloused looking wad of crap on the baby’s mane, skin level, about halfway down the neck. It’s so big it’s visible from outside the stall. It is VERY sensitive to the touch.
… several days go by, and yesterday I ask the owner what it is. She has no idea what I am talking about, because she hadn’t noticed it.
For crying out loud, lady. You have 4 horses. That’s a lot to handle, no doubt. But you are literally at the barn for 10+ hours a day (one of the reasons I was compelled to move, you can’t escape her). How is it that your TB is lame enough to be eliminated, has advanced white line disease in all 4 feet that you didn’t notice until the farrier pointed it out, your mustang needs groceries, your savage mare has extensive rain rot on her ass that you can’t touch because she’s such a jerk (had to tell her about that, too), and now the easy-to-handle sweet little baby has some weird growth on her mane that you can’t hardly touch it hurts so bad and you don’t notice?
Fewer horses, or more attention to them. Pick one.
I can’t wait to get out. Tick tock.
the lesson guys really dig into our hearts.
