Never Happier to See a Scab!

Got the honor of bringing Quzqo in tonight from the far flung fields. He was waaaay off by himself, stuffing his face with green, growing grass. No new injuries from his new herd, thank God, but it looked like his puncture had opened up and bled! BLEAH!!!

Got him cleaned up, and it seems it hadn't "bled" per se, but "oozed" blood (better than pus!), and he has a nice dry scab forming, and the bright pink tissue of this morning had shrunk down! Excellent!

Talked w/my friend with the (new) Paint mare, and yes, she is going to the fun benefit show next Wednesday evening at the fairgrounds, and I reminded her that she'd invited me (and Quzqo) along back last December! Heh heh...yep, we're going to a horse show!! She doesn't plan to show her new mare though, because the bad girl ran off with her the other evening & it took her half an hour to get her under control! (thankfully they were in the outdoor arena, but still...)... she will take the mare & just ride her around to get her used to the horse show atmosphere. Well, one good thing...I won't have to compete against her, ha!

This will be Quzqo's Western Pleasure debut!! Guess I'd better ride him in his shanked curb, just to remind him. Thankfully a WP class doesn't involve much intricate neck reining, since it's pretty much follow-the-leader.

Since it's a fun show, it won't matter that my "western" saddle doesn't have a horn!
