Yes, I'm wondering how he is doing.

He's doing very well...much improved. All the horses got wormed yesterday, full dose this time. Both he and Phoenix had a good day yesterday and today, and seem a lot perkier. Crossing fingers this time it stays that way!

We had a funny moment with Sinatra at this work party this Sunday. Funny ha ha, I mean!
Sinartra and Phoenix were getting a little grazing time in the tiny paddock that fronts Jaime's stalls. Next to one of the stalls is a bale of alfalfa, and the boys, who have now discovered they LOVE alfalfa, sidled over to it to sneak a few bites while no one was looking. I went over to shoo them away from it, and Sinatra threw a little fit! He stomped his tiny feet, and tried his best to aim a little double barrel kick or two in my direction, before finally scampering off in a huff. Valerie and I couldn't help but laugh at the little guy, it was so funny. Like watching a hissy fit from the Easter bunny or something. So I guess he's feeling a little better. ;D

Any update on Sinatra, Phoenix, Kokomo (the wiggler, I call him), Hope, et al. since Sunday?
I was very impressed at how much time Sinatra and Phoenix spent chowing down on their hay Sunday afternoon, it was very good to see!

Welllllllllllllllllllllllll................................Apparently our little Easter Bunny is not done throwing a hissy fit. I was cleaning the front pasture yesterday and took a break to visit with Phoenix and Mr. Sinatra. They both immediately declined a meeting with me - I presume because they thought I was the "I'm going to put you in your stall" fairy. I finally did catch Phoenix and spent some time rubbing and petting him. Sinatra was sniffing me and very interested but I concentrated on Phoenix - let him go - then went for Sinatra who had moved off by now. No dice. So, I caught Phoenix again and walked him with me to go get Sinatra and don't you know that little bugger (Sinatra) decided that he wanted NO part of me and pinned his ears and threw his head back at me - teeth fully bared. That was a bit surprising and man can he make an ugly face! So, he clearly is feeling MUCH better and is quickly turning into the rotten thankless horsey that they all do.
He still does look like an Easter Bunny throwing a hissy fit. I think he has little horse syndrome!

Awwww...I love this little guy. He's finally strong enough now to express his displeasure about how he's been treated by humans in the past. Unfortunately, he isn't able to vent his spleen on the "human" who is responsible for his condition, but apparently any ol' human will do!

Maybe SAFE should rename him Imastalliondammit!

Maybe SAFE should rename him Imastalliondammit! LMAO!! That's a good one. I can only imagine how put out he'll be when he's no longer a stallion. Then we can call him Dammitlookwhatyoudid

Well I have yet to see this little attitude of Sinatra's but maybe that's because I am the food lady, who knows. He's an absolute doll and you can't help but just love him to pieces. Today he got a new waterproof blanket for turnout and I took his old one off and worked on his rainrot, which is almost gone except for right over his spine and his ears. I picked off what I could on his back, he still won't let you touch the scabs on his ears though. Then I doused him in Microtek and put his blanket back on. He and Phoenix go out every day that it doesn't rain on the grass and are out all day now. I have finally seen them both run a little and even play, just a little bit. Sinatra is definately much stronger now and it has been at least a week since I have had to help him up. He has lost his wormy belly completely but he actually looks a bit thinner now, but I am sure he in fact has gained weight.
