A Night on the Tiles?

Well a quiet week except for Saturday night - I know what you're thinking - two uppity fillies out on the town - well WRONG! It was all down to the Big T. We came in from our field in the evening and had our dinner and then Big T got all hot and bothered - literally, and began to sweat up a bit which The Gaffer and The Mrs decided wasn't normal. There was a bit of toing and froing and consultation with other people and the vet was called. Now being a Saturday night, she was out with someone else (no not on the town - another horse acutally) and couldn't get to us for a while. In the meantime The Mrs had to find a thermometer and take Thelma's temperature - not an elegant process I have to tell you! Her temperature was a bit high but nothing serious apparently. Anyway, the poor vet came at around 8.30 - now I'm not used to being up that late and was finding it all a bit of bore by this time and had a lie down - but I soon got up to see what was going on when the vet arrived.

The diagnosis - too much grass (well I might have had a guess at that myself as Big T knows how to put it away!). The vet (who is soooooo nice, by the way) said that she had been called out quite a few times in the last couple of days for the same problem as the grass had suddenly grown. A quick injection later and Big T was feeling much better and is now back to eating as normal. As for me I just had to catch up on my beauty sleep as quickly as possible - as a girl never knows who's going to drop in.
