Awkward picture but he is still cute
But the verdict was Stinker just needed some adjustments. The vet also said that Stinker is looking really good. This makes me happy because he is very blunt and doesn't sugar coat things. I was also very relieved that A) I wasn't totally crazy and B) it wasn't anything major for a change.
Drunk pony for the win!
Stinker is getting super spoiled this week, because he had the adjustments, and will get a massage this weekend. Then next week I am finally (YAY!!) getting my saddle adjusted. Of course I do need to mention to my bosses that I am missing some work next week. In my defense they have been out of the country, so I am hoping to be able to give them some awesome data and then say oh by the way can have a couple days off.
I might get to play with this girl again.
In other news, Monday was one of those days that just sucked. I was feeling super lazy and unmotivated/exhausted from work. When I finally made it out to the barn, I had a fucking spider fall down my shirt. It was IN MY SHIRT. I barely managed to keep myself from ripping it off. And I provided lots of entertainment with my squealing and jumping around.
Yay for spoiled ponies!! 😀
ReplyDeleteHe won't have any excuses for not being fabulous when I put him back to work ;)
DeleteYay for good news!
ReplyDeleteI thought I had a large bug trapped in my large hair, so I ripped off my baseball cap, squealed, flapped my hands and ran around like an idiot. I would definitely have ripped off my shirt. No shame in my game!
I feel you on the big hair! I'm actually worse about my hair because shit can get trapped there. I probably would have removed the shirt except we had some quarter horse racehorse guys there. I wanted a little dignity left.
DeleteWhat a spoiled boy :)
ReplyDeleteSo last weekend a wasp landed on my arm, and I pretty much melted down. Jumping into the lake was honestly a second from happening before it flew away. Eek!
I feel like that is a reasonable reaction. And he is so spoiled :)
DeleteGlad the appointment went well!
ReplyDeleteMe too. The vet was laughing at me, because I gave S a high five since we both got away with just the chiro.
DeleteI love that we spoil our horses far more than we spoil ourselves :P And I would have ripped my shirt off - no shame.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true! I can talk myself out of everything that is for me, but I can talk myself into buying anything for my horse. :)
DeleteOMG the spider. I totally would have ten my shirt off. No way.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I was squirrelly all evening after that.
DeleteHooray for ponies that are healthier than expected!!! That's great news!! (:
ReplyDeleteI was so excited. Gotta love when the vet gives you good news instead of just emptying your bank account. :)
DeleteI love that feeling of being told that the horse is fine! Stinker looks great too - whatever you're doing is working!
ReplyDeleteMe too! And thank you. :)
DeleteI think I would have torn my shirt off and let others be traumatized. I would also have spent the rest of the day feeling 8 little legs on me. I'm glad that Stinker is okay.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I felt so creepy crawly afterwards. I saw the spider fall off but ick.
