I loved the camp pictures, and no, there's not too many, never too many.

Oh yeah, we've got a new filly this morning! My MIL called me about 7am and said she called them to come eat and nobody came so she went to check and saw then both standing around in the end of the chicken house which serves as the barn.

She's nursed and passed her miconium. I've sprayed her navel and given her some pro-biotics. I found the placenta and it appeared to be whole. I went ahead and gave Truly a shot of occytocin, just to be sure she cleaned out good. It cramped her pretty bad for about 30 minutes but she's fine now and Mama and baby are out in the pasture enjoying the sunshine.

I'm not sure what her name will be yet, but she sure is a pretty little thing. She's black with a frosty underside right now, but I think she'll be roan. It's funny, but the most consistent marker for it seems to be reddish hair inside their little ears and she has that. I'll post pictures later. I'll have to to into the office to do it.

I'm fixing to get in the shower right now. I've got mud, manure and God knows what else all over me. Talk to y'all later! :o)

I'm older than some of you and because of my job, I wash my hands a lot and they dry out but do any of yall keep the back of your hands banged up. I'm always getting bruises or skin tears. I'm thinking about getting a pair of gloves without finger tips. Have yall ever used them. I need them to ride too caz I come off the horse scuffed up also. I'm left handed and that's usually the one I'm the hardest on.
