Tiny dispatches from the barn

Yesterday was first turnout day for the two new babies at the barn.  Very sad I missed it, but BOs took some cell phone video for me.

Look at the legs on her!
Sorry, momma - I couldn't get a good baby stride, a good momma stride, AND something not completely blurry/pixelated in the same frame!

Resurfacing

Hello!  It's been a while.

The world is on fire.  Or on plague.  Whichever you want to call it.

And my AC is currently non-functional in the middle of an 80 degree heatwave, and the county goes fully locked down as of midnight tomorrow night.  (Because of course our charming governor hasn't the balls to make that call yet...)

So we're all doing about as well as could be expected.

However, there is one small piece of brightness in the universe.  One born 3/18.






Better pictures will have to wait for quarantine to end, but can I introduce you to a Dragon?

I know she's soft and fluffy, but I promise you, that's a Dragon.  Or maybe a Dragonfly, but her barn name will be Dragon.  Formal name is pending me making up my mind...


Her IgG was in the tank, so she got a little plasma treatment (hence the bandage), but she's getting the stylish wrap off today and is doing perfect now.  And will hopefully get to go out into a paddock soon, as I'm told she's that special brand of spitfire that happens when a new baby has been cooped up waaaay too long and is about to start climbing the walls.
