Medicine woman

During our spring roundup, Mike the vet suggested that a little extra worming be done on some of our fine steeds. Hilary thought it would be a good idea to give the medicine today while all the horses were together in the corral. Early tomorrow morning we will head out the road to bring in riders who will take a string of ponies down the road, up the hill, and into the loading area out there on the paved road where 15 or so horses get on the big 18-wheeler and head off for the high country. Wednesday we repeat the operation for the remaining 15 or so. Any leftovers will ride in the trailer for the trip to lush green meadows in the high country.

Later this week, another mode of transport will be used to take some of the two-leggers up to the ranch. Stay tuned.
