Goin to VET	Can't Post

Morning, Is anyone out there? Well I'm headin to the vet this AM to get coggins pulled & a tubin on 3 equine friends! You ever notice how a dog seems to appreciate things YOU do for him/her but a cat or HORSE acts like they are doing YOU a favor to let you do something for them! Well my ponies are pretty well mannered horses BUT with this little cold snap we've had down her in SET(southeast Texas) I'm sure there gonna enjoy the whole trip... First time that I took the ole mare to the vet, she busted a brand mew lead rope, backed out of trailer & headed down state hiway 146 toward town... Well between , the young vet in her truck, tow or three city police officerts & me, we got her cornered in a nice yard right in edge of town...WoW that was fun.. have a good day

WHELP I got throu with 3 horses visit to local vets office...My horses did real well loading, going & visiting with vet BUT I had a few incident as I was gettin ready to leave... I had borrowed a bumper pull that I had used before & didn't remember it being so short...It's what I called a 14 footer but now I don't really beleive it was that long.. I loaded both mare in front & crammed the gelding in bac after I shut the inter gate that seperates into 2 sections...Trailer was a lot shorter than I remember too. Well I thought I'd put big gelding up front & short bodied mare in bac so I loaded my gelding & halter came untied & he escaped as I was gettin one of the mares, SO I had to chase him down & reload him.. then he pulled bac after I loaded him & he scrapped some hair off his forhead & really acted like a A*%... So I loaded both mare in front & crammmed him in bac again & all went well. The more I think about it I think he may have had a little spookiness because that trailer looked like a tunnel...Evrybody is home in pastuse & safely wating for trailride to start @ end of next month
