The bandages were replaced and the wounds taking care off ...
He is such a brave soul ... no sulking, and without any help he lets me do what I need to do
Cleaning it all out with betadinescrub
Nieuw verbandje plaatsen en daarna lekker stoeffen met zijn nieuw groen-blauw verband Putting on a new tape and then showing his blue-green bandages off to his friends...
Taking a nap with his friend the Black in the stable

Veel valt er niet te vertellen....het heeft weer veel geregend...enkel de honden vonden het leuk om daarna in de plassen te gaan zwemmen... There is not much to say .... it has rained a lot ... again... Only the dogs liked it to go swimming in the pools of water...
I went to get the chipreader at the vetclinic JG in Muchamiel (Thanks Juan !)
Examination of the chips of the horses revealed the following things:
Cubanito is indeed Cubanito and idem ditto what Altanero is concerned. But Amoroso .... is Amorosa on paper and a mare ... which we have not. And Aston ...appears not to be Aston because he who we thought was Amoroso, is Aston . So Pretty Face ...has not the correct papers at the moment.
The previous owner currently is not responding to my phone calls or SMS ...
Ex-Amoroso, now Aston .... showed ex-Aston Pretty Face that it all changes nothing to their close friendship ...
I went to see my baby boy...like every morning ....and he is again a bit better then yesterday.... I gave him the anti-inflammatory and we hugged a lot...with all 3 ofcourse. A piece of appel, some carrot, a slice of hard bread....and then ofcourse a haynet with lovely alfalfa...
As you can see....when Punkie eats he has his weight on his 2 front legs.
I will only be completely happy again when they all will be home again....
So last night we started with the treatment of the horses with the medication Dr. Eric Laarakker had advised and had donated together with Irene from NMLHealth, for the welfare of the horses.
Last night they got the Parasiet Compositum for the first time....& all went well. So they got some more this morning and evening. At lunch they received the Drainage Compositum for the first time and will get some more in a minute. Tomorrow we start with the Boost Compositum.
Our Filly is neighing every time she sees me coming out the house or passing by. She is such a sweetheart
This morning I had an appointment with the farrier. He thinks Punkie hurt an inner tendon. He trimmed all 4 feet and cleaned them well to be sure there was no little hole in there. He also trimmed Brownies feet as they were growing wrong too...
Tonight Tchanca seemed to have something wrong and he had +40.3°C of fever. I gave him a full treatment and thus I also treated the fever and aspirinpoints. I gave him an anti-inflammatory and the fever dropped to 39.3 ° after an hour.
We keep busy....Everytime again and learn a lot in the mean time ! Luckely the weather is finally becoming more normal .... Well is that really true? ... Today we had suddenly 46 ° C in the sun in the afternoon...
At the moment she is still alone in the round pen...so they all can get accostom to eachother. Eating lunch alone in peace (there are heavy clouds over here).
A busy morning....First I took some blood from Chiki and brought it to the horse clinic. Then I went to go & visit the kids in La Llar del Cavall and then I went to do some shopping. I saw my vet Lalo on the way and discussed the deworming of the bog boys ... Continued shopping so all the animals would have enough food ... On the way back I bought a wheelbarrow so I don't have to carry all those boxes with food when I feed the 10 horses .... I bought a new Kärcher for F to replace the one he gave me to use & that I broke... Then I saw the architect to receive all the necessary documents for the application for the waterconnection...
Chiki with his waterproof blanket.... Edit: the blanket was not waterproof ... Thanks for having informed me about it, I've returned it to the store and put the green one from Marlies back on
I still can not believe it, it seems so unreal ,....
Last night I received the news that Fernando suddenly died... he who was always there for us, even before we moved permanently to Spain he who became F's best friend ... they saw each other almost every day ... and made many sailing trips together he who loved horses and who came to see the foals ofcourse he who as a Doc gave us medical advice and stood by us he who was there when you needed him he who was still in the prime of his life
I still can not comprehend that he is not here anymore, it seems so unreal He was snatched away from us much too soon and leaves a large void ... I will miss him ...
So what happened last night while I was at that meeting in the equine clinic ?
Cubanito & Picollo are OK, I can't see anything special,....they are scared though of sudden moves.... Did they get scared by a fox and tried to break out? The black spot looks like tar...and there is hair on it.....
What happened ?
PS. These pics were taken after I already put up straight what I could at midnight.... So it was a lot worse when I got home last night...
