I'm back. I didn't get to ride. The vet showed up. He said Sarah Lee younger than we thought, around 9 and that she looked really good except her respirations a little fast but she was sweating good. He gave her shots (in a hurry so I didn't ask to do) and said to keep up the wormer.

She showed a little bit of attitude. Got huffy when she saw him and fought him looking at her teeth and her shots. Pawing and stomping her foot too. She settled right down after he left though.

Evening!

Glad she checked out Good! BTW... I don't know what you expect of her, but don't worry about her not being cheerful about being checked... All horses show attitude about having fingers in their mouth and their teeth looked at, and shots hurt... Most horses at least flinch when you slam a needle in them, and many smart ones know exactly what's coming and dance around a little. They should stay manageable, but I would suspect a horse that never objected to anything might actually be dead ;~D. You will eventually have to have their teeth 'floated' or filed down, and most horses have to be sedated for that. It isn't a training issue.
