With spring around the corner, it was time to make our yearly trek out to
Nebraska Equine for Farah's
teeth float. Traffic was light, we arrived on time & Farah walked right in like a champ.

Say Ahhh.. |
I always try to watch her weight closely. Even though we measure out her feed in Ziplocs for the barn staff - it's not the same as when we did it ourselves. Dr. Black put the tape on her & guess what? She's right at the top end of her weight range at 1,070 lbs. Perfect as far as I'm concerned - since hopefully we'll be coming into riding season before too long.

It was nice to hear that all her teeth look good, the two problem areas were not any worse & all her teeth are solid. There were a couple small hooks - again in the usual areas - but nothing worrisome. Since I made the
mistake last year of having her vaccinated on the same day - this year Dr. Black said we'll wait until she's moved & do them the first of April.

Google maps took us back home by way of the
far side of the river, so we ended up south of Farah's stable. I drove on home, unloaded the gold girl & let her graze while we waited for Butch. It actually worked out well, since it gave me more time to keep an eye on her & make sure she was back to normal.

Sinking in~ |
We stayed around the perimeter of the yard, as much as I want to ride, the ground is still
so very soft & wet. Maybe the stiff winter will be over & we'll have a nice dryer spring! Regardless, I hope to be able to do some road & field riding soon.
