I should just resign myself to this. Seriously. It happened AGAIN. EXACTLY two weeks before the show – just as last time. I should have known – WHY didn’t I know??? I should know so that I can prepare myself for it emotionally and mentally. There’s nothing more scarring than walking in to the barn to groom your horse to discover a huge chunk of hair and/or flesh missing from his neck, shoulder, rump, or this time – his flank. *sigh*
Since Sudi is such an agreeable little boy, he gets to go out with the lovely mares. Unfortunately, as breeding season is around the corner, Tammy is trying to get her mares to start cycling regularly. Her clever means to this end? A Mini stud: Sliver. So two days ago, Sliver got to go out with the lovely mares and Sudi. Sliver is quite the cute little mini, but he can be a little ferocious. Unfortunately, he took his little ferociousness out on my precious, sweet, UNCHALLENGING gelding. *sigh AGAIN*
Consequently, Sudi is now relegated to the ring for the remaining two weeks before the show. After that, we’ll see where Sliver is.
So my next thought: I have about three to five (depending on Sudi) more shows to attend this year. Is Sudi destined to be marred before each of these? Or is he destined for a summer in the ring? Or will the ring start suddenly taking chunks out of him too? (Haha.)
Anyone up for taking bets?
