Trip to the Dentist

So we didn't get into any clinics at the Mane Event.  That certainly doesn't mean my trailer and I are not going to be down for the weekend!  Nooooo.  Miss that?  Heck not a chance.  I'm going to be taking Ritchie down for the whole event (to stand in the stall and go for walks and just take in the general atmosphere.)  When it's all done, he's heading down south with one of my favorite peoples, Selena Dickmann from Little Bow Fjords.  Selena will be at the event with her pair of trick Fjords and is taking Ritchie for a few months of training, sacking, tacking and backing.  Today, poor little fella was pulled out of his paddock where he'd spent the majority of the winter with his buddies, and loaded into the trailer, which he had not seen since September at the RPSI inspection.  Off we went to the vet's.  It was pretty evident, once we got there, that little feller was not feeling very confident.  A little help by sedation assisted in his relaxation factor and into the clinic he went.  He had a good float, something it looks like he will need regularly, and his wolf teeth removed.  He just had the two uppers, but, to the dismay of my dearest vet (who ROCKS), they were quite large.  Eventually perserverance won through and he is now wolf-tooth-less.  A full set of vaccines, including west nile, and aresol strangles vaccine, and he's ready for a quick deworming this week and a new adventure with Selena! 

Can't wait to start this new adventure!!! xoxo
