What’s the first thing a horse does when you hose them down? Ah yes, roll in sand 🤣

Firefly and Serenity mutual groom at the silliest times. The vet was pulling up, hence the turn to stare accusingly at the end.

That's the "I know you are dropping those beet pulp shreds *just* as a special treat for Gwyn" anticipation face.

The Sharks vs the Jets

We are slowly putting weight back on Firefly (the grey horse) after a rough hospital stay. Trying to time meals (six!) and get Firefly to eat enough of them in her separate paddock, but then she can still go graze with her buddy Serenity (the bay horse) for at least a few hours a day.

The Spaniels are helping with every step, though they're a little confused about the dramatic change in daily routine.

Horse teeth grow continuously, like many other herbivores'. Horses chew side-to-side, which wears down the middle of the tooth faster than the sides; the outside edges of the teeth get sharp. Equine dentists grind the sharp points down.

The horses will sometimes still be a little dronk after the dentist gets done.
