BEAU LOVES HIS GRASS............

He is allowed to roam the property, and that is when I sit on a nearby rock and read my kindle, and watch the Blue Heron in the pond fish for frogs.  It is the most relaxing thing in the world to watch a happy horse roam and graze.  this is what they are meant to do.   Not be locked in a horse jail with only three hours of turn out a day.  One can only wish they had their own property.  I am very blessed to be able to board him where he is now so he can live as close to natural as we can get.  I'm still looking around for my dream farm.  One day I do believe a house with a little piece of land will come my way so I can live with my horse (s).

I called the vet right way and explained that he just started doxycycline, gave up eating and after walking him he finally passed some manure. We all thought it was looking good as he picked at his hay around 5:00 PM. That same night I was headed back to see him around 8:00 PM when I got the call from Rita, that her and Tayna were trying to get a hold of me. "I don't want to see Beau die, you better get here I already called the vet and he was on his way". Paniced stricken we were on on way to the barn. Beau was already wearing Poffie's halte
