Mom's been hanging around the barn more lately. I am not sure why, but I am suspecious. First of all, she brought a new veterinarian to the barn. Mom knows how much I hate vets (they smell funny) over a week ago. He didn't do much, just stood in my stall with me and talked to mom and auntie Sylvia and auntie Jessica. He stood for awhile and pinched my neck, then I think he stuck a needle in, but mom had me distracted by having me walk forward a step.
In any event, the next week he was back! I wasn't going to fall for THAT again! This time I showed him I meant business and when he went to pinch my neck I got upset and moved around the stall (which is great since we moved to this new place, because my stall is so big I can really get a good walk in). Mom ended up halting me by the stall door and the woman who was with the vet was talking to me and mom was talking all soft, so when the needle came I wasn't prepared.
Mom's been taking me for more rides than before. Even when the bugs are bad, which lately has been daily, so I have been staying in my stall and the other horses have been staying in as well, and at night we get to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs.
Things have changed within the last few weeks. My little Pony friend no longer stays out in the paddock with me, but my stall stays open so I can come and go as I please. And Pony is right next to me in the adjoining area. Artie, Hot Rod and Tex have all been in my big paddock and I have been confined to the grass-less one. I really miss grass. It's not the same to have to eat soaking wet hay, even though mom puts some of it near the fences and around the paddock so I have to move around to get it and I am not far from the other horses.
I am still waiting to find out what is going on.
