In The Wars

Poor Drum has been beaten up lots by his mean old TB gelding paddock mate Ned. He isnt so bad out in the paddock but when they are by the house, Ned can corner him easily and bite and kick the crap out of him. He has some old marks finally growing hair back on them. But has new marks on his bum, rump, sides, alongside his spine - two very deep ones just behind saddle, and yesterday, two new very deep ones under saddle, which ruled out a ride yesterday. He also got many multiple cuts from his throat, down his neck, across chest, one shoulder and one side from being repeatedly kicked. Theyre mostly healed now. Feel very sorry for poor Drum.

But. Shawn has quit his job and we are moving. Hopefully we will find new decent grazing with nice paddock mates. I will miss our current grazing though, amazing views, great grass, and not to mention, free.
