Returning to Normal

Life at the barn is settling down and and beginning to return to normal. Tim is home and thrilled with Sultanna's baby, and I think we are both relieved that this foal is healthy and thriving.

She continues to be a very bold girl - look at how she pushes her way up and nudges me twice in that video. 

During their time together, Abby and Dolly have become more friendly. (Doesn't Dolly have the coolest facial markings?)

Hokey is back in with Abby and Dolly, and yesterday while I was out in the field visiting with the mares, he was hanging out at the gate watching Sultanna and Sweet Girl.

I made sure to spend a little time with him and he enjoyed a really good neck scritching.

Abby's eye is healed; the antibiotic ointment did the trick and I see no weeping down her face, redness, or cloudiness in her eye.

She's herd alpha (here she is warning Dolly to get away from me as she comes up to visit) although with Sultanna in another pasture and unable to back her up, Hokey may rise to the alpha position.

As soon as we have an official name for Sultanna's filly, I will let ya'll know. 

Stay 'tooned!
