An Apple a Day Keeps The Dentist Away! Wait...

This weekend is moving weekend for me, so unfortunately nothing too exciting is going to happen with the ponies this weekend. I did however get the vet out to float Gwen's teeth! She was uncommonly hard to keep at a decent weight over the winter, and although worming helped, she is definitely underweight. She receives quality hay and her coat is nice and shiny, she just wasn't able to absorb all the calories she was being given, and turned into a bony pony. I am so excited to finally get some flab back on her so I can ride the crap out of her this summer ;)

You can see her ribs.. can't wait for her to be fat and happy again!


The vet had to give Gweny two tranquilizers because she is so large, and it was hilarious to see her all drugged up. We had her butt in the corner of the fence with a rope around her chest to lean into for stabilization, and she was using that rope for all it was worth! Her hind right leg was cocked and wobbly, tongue hanging out, bottom lip like a sleeping camel.. too funny. She was a total champ, and the vet commented on what a great bite she has, and that she shouldn't need a follow up appointment next year! 


I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend, and getting some sunshine and warm weather!
