He hasn't been around in a few days. He may be away over easter vacation.
Not trying to be tacky or anything and I guess it's to be expected but he's not peeing a lot. Usually we are talking like Niagra Falls.
There's very little you could say about a horse that I would find tacky. He's probably a little dehydrated from not drinking much due to his illness.
There was a horse track? I thought it was just cars. Both, then.
Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie is one of those top rated horse racing tracks. Are you talking about renting a suite? Trying to get one on a one-time basis would be really expensive at either Lone Star Park or the Texas Motors Speedway. The horse racing track I think the suites would be around $3000 to $4000 for an evening. The car racing track would be even more. Most people buy them for an entire season. The company my husband used to work for had a suite at the Texas Rangers baseball field and we got to use it privately once or twice and invited my family. Those suites aren't anywhere near as nice as those at the horse or car racing tracks.
Just a minute. I'm choking. 3000 a NIGHT?
Not even the whole night. They aren't like hotel rooms, they don't have beds.
How are you getting these pills down Okie? We always give shots so I don't know how fast pills start working. If they are on his feed he might not be getting all of it.
The stable owner and I were going to treat him ourselves with IM penicillin but he got really bad fast so we called the vet instead. He felt this was viral and the antibiotic for complications. I'm not no sure but he's the vet. Anyway to answer your question, Okie has a sweet tooth so I put about 2 cups of crimped oats in a bucket. Put 5 pills in a baggie and powder them with a hammer and put it on top of the oats and then cover it with pancake syrup and mix it up. It's taking him awhile but he licks the bucket. He's getting most of it.
:) I'll have to remember that - I'll bet he does get it all if he's licking the bucket.
YOUR REScue horse is looking alot better.

HAPPY Easter:)
Rose: FWIW, I agree with everyone about throwing those bits away that are on those headstalls. The headstalls and reins are fine.

Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!
Good morning everyone! Another busy day here today! Hope everyone is fine, and hope Okie is improving.
That horse that I made the lowball offer is still for sale and she's dropped her price. Another couple of months she's gonna be wishing she took the $800, if she's not already.
HAPPY EASTER to all!!!
Not very good image quality, but it's a good quick sketch I thought.
Happy Easter!
He's improving. Still sluggish and has a runny nose but not as bad and he's still picky and eating real slow but he's working his way back up in the pecking order so I guess he's feeling stronger.
