Wow! Time sure does fly! I can't believe it's taken me this long to update this blog. So much has happened in the last few months. Wake, Dan, and Margaux have all had birthdays. Wake turned 6 on September 12, Dan celebrated his unnamed birthday on October 12, and Margaux just turned 8 on November 2.
We have had lots of horsey happenings lately. Flash went to State to have his sarcoid removed and treated with chemotherapy at the beginning of August. He was at the vet hospital for almost a week. But as soon as we returned home, he colicked and had to be rushed right back to State. For a few days we weren't sure he was going to make it or if he would have to have major surgery. Luckily, he pulled through with treatment and has fully recovered. He is still going back monthly for more chemo, but the vets are optimistic that his sarcoid is going away. During this time, Trigger also had a bout of lameness, but has recovered with medication and new shoes.
Margaux has a new pony named Jazz. She is a 14h dun pony and she is very cute and petite. She is an older pony with lots of experience. She and Margaux get along extremely well. We are hoping that Alex and Trigger and Margaux and Jazz will be competing in a few Pony Club rallies next year. Here is Margaux with Jazz:
Halloween has come and gone and the kids a great time trick or treating again this year. Our neighborhood really gets into the spirit of this holiday. Many people go all out decorating their houses, dressing up and giving out candy, and even having mini-bonfires in their yards. You can see what cute characters they made this year:
That's it for now. I will post more later!
