This past 18hrs has sucked. Majorly!

Daughter’s horse has a bone chip in his knee. Equine vet says surgery wouldn’t even let him return to show jumping

And now I know people getting their “laid off” phone call. One was my office mate. She had still been on furlough. The other was a former Mgr. He’d had 34 years in.

Ugh

Not good. Can the vet do something about the bone chip to allow the horse to be ridden purely Karadeniz Sep 2020 #2

Our previous horse has retired to a wonderful spot up in Ocala

Going to see about sending this goofball up there too. Sucks. He really is a goofball. Great personality
