Yesterday, Hailee was pulled out of the back pasture to have her first pre-breeding vet check. She had her first palpation. She behaved herself for this procedure. But Barbie said that they put her in a stall for two hours and that Hailee was quite offended and put out after her many months of freedom. She has things to do in her herd! Then because they have to keep track of her heat cycle, she got put in a holding pasture with the other pre-season mares. Hailee was desolate because she's been separated from her boyfriend, Ed. But Ed and their other little herd mate, a baby thoroughbred girl, hung out with Hailee by the fence line. It is so nice to imagine Hailee busy with her horsie life in Kentucky. What a gift she's having -- a happy life as a herd mare with friends and nothing but beautiful Paris, Kentucky views. A true blessing.Thursday, March 8, 2007
Hailee's visit with the Vet
