Scene from earlier today -- we put a new mineral block in the field. The old one ran out about a month ago, so the new block was greeted with fairly substantial enthusiasm. Clockwise from top center: Kova, Eikon Coquette, Elklin, Thyme, Chablis, Absolut, Mezcal
I'm sorry Nick hasn't been feeling well...I guess you're working from the advantage of experience with horses, because I would probably have been freaking out.
How many horses are in the field? I didn't realize that there were so many that the low horses in the herd would have to wait to get to the salt lick.
I was sort of freaky to start with, but there's no heat and no swelling to be found. Also, she's eating okay and seems otherwise okay. Besides that, she's improving with time. I am worried, but not all *that* worried. If she'd gotten WORSE over time instead of better, I'd be a hell of a lot more worried.
My view here is that she's a horse. She lives in a good-sized field with a stunning variety of ways to kill herself and spends better than 22 hours a day (on average) unobserved by a human. Beats me what she did to herself, but it doesn't look like it's going to kill her.
As to how many horses are in the field, this is the winter holding field, one that's sacrificed during the winter (too many hooves tear the grass up) to keep the other fields in good shape. It's also conveniently located for putting round bales into the creek field. Once the grass greens up, a bunch of these guys will be moved elsewhere.
That said, there are likely close to twenty horses in the field. For sure I know that Ceres, Whisper, Thyme, Taku, Nick, Connie's bay mare, Briar, Sphinx, Absolut, Chelsea, Bacardi, Chenille, Eikon, Mariah, Elklin, Cocktail, Mezcal, Chablis, Casper, and Martini are in the field. I don't really care who's where beyond Meat and Nick.
Meatly is over at Odie's, in the field with Wren, Naughty, Proof, Chessa, and a bunch of young stuff whose names escape me, though I'm sure they have them.
Yes. In addition to what's listed there, Mai Tai, Cuervo, and Tanqueray are in assorted other locations. In years past, we've used Whiskey, Red Eye, Tequila, Mead, Rye, Guinness, and Cooler. Liquor provides names-of-last-resort, when we can't think of anything else.
