Kidd Cool(Goes to the vet) July 30th

Today Cool went to the vet clinic to have his teeth floated. Dr. Underbrink and his trusty assistant Kim were both impressed with his calm demeanor and how good he was during the procedure, they both gave him an A+!

I cannot express how important it is to have these mustangs(and all other horses) dental work done to give them the best advantage during their training. Poor Cool had a cap that was half on and digging into the side of his mouth and another tooth on the other side that needed removing.

I was noticing some resistance to the right side where the bad tooth was located so he should do much better in his training now that he has had his dental work.

Thank you to both Dr. Underbrink and Kim for their patience and understanding in working with now three of my competition mustangs and for sponsoring me during this EMM competiton.(Thanks also to Richard Olsen for offering to ride along and observe, assist, and photograph during our vet visit)

My personal horse(and love of my life,sorry Robert) Sky also went with us to visit Dr. Underbrink as he has had five minor colic episodes in the last five weeks! We are quite certain that the problem is mesquite beans. It seems that during a drought mesquite trees start producing more beans as they are in survival mode and as luck would have it Sky has decided he is absolutely obsessed with mesquite beans even leaving hay and feed to go on bean patrol.

Although my horses won't be happy(at least they'll be healthy)I'll be confining them to a smaller paddock until the beans are done producing. Cool's paddock has minimal beanage so he should have no problems as we continue our training.

Apologies for promising beach pictures this week and not producing them but extremely high winds all week and tar on the beach have postponed our beach ride until this coming Tuesday.
Look for pics soon.
