horse teeth & sharp shooters

Britt was off to work and has the horses booked in today for dental appointments at 4. The morning was spent visiting while plans came together. Mom was off before lunch to pick up Amanda and the kids to run to the city to pick up some doors.

The fellows were off to the city after lunch to try their hand at all the artillery at the Calgary Shooting Centre. Helen and I went out caught Slim and I got him trimmed up for Mom of course in the hottest part of the day at 28 and hotter in the barn. At 3 we caught Bird, Hawk, KD and Pepper, loaded them up and headed to Moore's after 3 in the heat but as we got closer to Moore's temperature dropped and a storm threatened.

The first 3 were done quite quickly then Bird was up having flexion test, chiropractic treatments followed by her dental adjustment. The poor girl was still quite drowsy when B loaded her up after 6. B had to stop at the race track for a colic with Dr Jordan and we set off for home. The fellows had finished up, stopped in town for refreshments and were at home when we arrived. There was a tornado warning nearby but luckily it never came near us.

B was home soon after Helen and I unloaded the horses and were back inside. We changed quick and were headed to town for a late supper at OJ's. Thanks Illingworth's for supper. Rain came down as we ate but had let up by the time we arrived back at the ranch by 10:30. A cougar had killed a yearling nearby so Britt was out checking the horses in the dark to make sure all was well before everyone was off to bed.
