Thursday Morning Observations w/ Marigold and Destiny,
First, let me say they are both doing very well. Destiny at 6:30 this morning was laid out flat on his side sleeping. As I approached, he raised his head, looked at me as if to say "Oh, it's just you" and laid his head back down. He was not even concerned w/ the hens fluffing straw around him (he does not know they are training for when Faith arrives). None of the activities seem to phase him.
Marigold was standing next to Old Man. Old Man still seems to be in awe of this Equine w/ a different look about her. Marigold is moving quite well. I did give her some bute last night as she was a bit stiff and wanted her to be comfortable. She is very alert and her eyes are bright. I will say it did them both very good to have the rest on their layover. We highly recommend Randy and his wife Kelley for transporters. They are truly caring individuals, as they displayed this w/ Marigold and Destiny. We will be posting a link on our blog and website for their info.
When we began feeding, Destiny did jump up, as he did know it was chow time. We did notice that Marigold DOES NOT share w/ him. She let him know in no uncertain terms that this was hers, that was his, so get lost little boy. I started her this morning on Vita-Joint, plus they both received psyllium and will continue to do so for the next six days and then they will fall into the monthly routine as all the other are on. I did worm them both this morning though they were wormed by Debbie. I was advised to repeat, as parasites vary from region to region.
Otherwise, all is well not only w/ them but everyone else as well. I will be back later this evening.
