Stall Rest Chronicles 5 March, Milton Has Temper Tantrums, Yes Plural

Explanation. We have a horse on stall rest following colic surgery. This has taken over the blog. Mostly. [Begin, Phase III]

Finishing week 9 post surgery
Finishing week 3 of paddock rest

Morning

Rodney! Is! Out!

I! Want! To! Be! Out!

Rage!

We finally gave up.

Rodney, come in.

Nah. I’m good. Nice grass out here.

We know it’s not fair, but you need to come back. I promise alfalfa.

Okay.

Zooooommmmm.

Incominggggg!

Um, dude, you know it’s muddy, right?

Skid. Skreech.

Here I am!

Great. Thank you. Here are cookies. Here is alfalfa. You go in the stall while Milton gets taken for out for grazing.

Per Dr. Cooper, “Sometimes the baby wins.”

Afternoon

Rodney! Is! Out!

I! Want! To! Be! Out!

Rage!

Milton, you were out. It’s Rodney’s turn. Scream all you want. Sometimes the baby doesn’t win.

Later. Rodney, time’s up.

Comingggggg!

Sound of thundering hooves.

Evening

Did you know horses can canter in place? When it was his turn, Rodney went dashing out of the barn. Milton hopped around in sympathy.

Onwards!
Katherine
