SEDONA is a "trip" for sure -- she's such a 'baby' . If she has a
"BooBoo", she'll let EVERYONE know about it!
The other day everyone was out (we haven't let them all out at the same
time because Sham tends to chase SEDONA). Tuffy was over by the gate that
comes into the front yard ...... SEDONA was just standing alone over by the
bridge that goes across our pond and I didn't see X nor Sham at all.
All of a sudden SEDONA 'squealed' (she's the only one here that squeals)
.... I looked out to see if X or Sham was bothering her -- they were no where
in sight. Just about that time SEDONA squealed again and kicked her right
eg
back ...... Again, I thought X or Sham were somewhere around and SEDONA was
just letting them know to leave her alone -- NOPE, I didn't see either of the
other 2 horses.
Sooooooo, about that time SEDONA squealed again and kicked back -- Buddy
and I went out to see what in the world was the matter with her.
As Buddy held her, I rubbed my hands over her body to see if she had been
kicked or was hurt someplace -- I couldn't find a thing ..... BUT, as I
reached
her tail area, she flinched. I picked up her tail (not that's a chore in
itself as she has the longest fullest tail you've ever seen -- it drags the
ground), I noticed that she had a scrape right inside her thigh -- it looked
like a 'rug burn' type thing that had knocked the "bark" off and was bleeding
a
little. Looked like she had rubbed her hind end on a tree or something and
rubbed that spot raw.
I cleaned it and put some medicine on it -- that seemed to make her happy
..... she looked back at me and nickered lowly.
Buddy was laughing -- said SEDONA had hurt her "hinny" and she wanted
EVERYBODY to know about it .... we just laughed and laughed about it ..... I
told him that SEDONA belonged to the right person - ME - when *I* have a
"hurty" everyone knows about it too
