Yves, aka "Em Z Em," and the Friesian/QH cross now named "Zorro," both saw the vet today. Dr. Kemper of West Coast Equine Hospital gave the two most recent auction rescues glowing bills of health!
Next up, fixing Yves feet! We imagine he can't wait for the relief of having his very overgrown feet (with shoes still attached!) brought back to size.
Once both boy's feet have been addressed, and they're given some additional down time (for much-needed rest and readjustment, after their high stress passage through auction), their riding assessments can commence.
Zorro was introduced to the concept of lunging today (for his lameness exam), so we're banking on him being "very green." Likely why he became an auction "repeat offender." Will be interesting to find out what Yves knows, too!
Til then, enjoy the endless supply of food, cushy bedding, and love, boys!
