Vidock and Violette Vendredi


Vidock: Neeeeighs?????? It's already Friday? Were has the week gone? What have you all been up to? I have done….nothing other than eat, sleep and romp in my field! And share the occasional cuddle with #1. Oh, and I mentioned it on Monday, but I also had those great visitors from California. That was fun!

#1 is always looking after me, and here is a photo of her scraping bot eggs off my leg. Those nasty flies lay yellow eggs on our legs. If they are left to hatch, they can cause pain and irritation, so #1 spends time removing as many as she can with a special knife:


And here s a mice pic of me walking along whilst having a chat with Mr. C, Da Boss over where I live. Mr. C told #1 that I was a very good boy and didn't really need to have my headcollar put on until I got to the gate, and I obliged!


And here I am, throwing a nice tail swish as I posed for #1 next to my water container:



Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! Do you like my latest portrait?


I got my bot eggs scraped off as well although #1 says they are a lot harder to see on me given that I have a white coat and the eggs are yellow. I also got a new hoof shine:


And I would just like to say that I do NOT think I have a big bum!

  1. You have the right sized bump Violette. Just nice for you. Vidock you seem to have a very good life full of things to do. Bit flies sound nasty.

  11. Vidock and Violette, #1 is taking such good care of you with bot egg and everything!

  12. You have a lovely bum Violette.
    Those bot flies are horrible. They make the horses here gallop around when they are trying to lay their eggs. I have to be careful not to go in their fields when they do that.

  13. We have never heard of those bot eggs, that must be an annoying task for #1 and a big pain for you two. Are they seasonal or are they around all the time?

    Have a great weekend.

  18. V's, you are both the MOST handsome horses mom as well as me have ever seen. I didn't know those nasty eggs got on your legs and I am so glad you both get the attention you need all of the time, every time. Never failing.
