... cos we've not been hunting yet, and I clipped him on saturday and then the vet came this morning to do his jabs.
You've never seen a horse look so insulted! He snorted at the vet, and pretended he was headshy when she went to look at his teeth and eyes etc, then jumped each time she put the stethoscope against his skin. BUT (and this made me laugh) didn't even flinch when she jabbed him!
when I went to ride him (half hour walk up the road) he refused to cooperate. clamped his teeth shut so I couldn't get the bridle on, then shoved his head into camel position, then blew himself out so the girth wouldn't go to its usual spot, and when we finally got out he minced up the road at half a mile an hour rather than his usual purposeful march.
Tom, meanwhile, was desperate that the vet go and talk to him, and kept turning round to try to talk to her whilst she was listening to his heart and lungs. While she was looking closely at the remains of his sarcoid on his chest he stuck his nose in her hair and tried to nick her hair bobble!
least she didn't mind!
