With just days away from the end of the month, Imogene hit some important milestones over the last week... 📋 She got her teeth done for the first time! Which meant a needle, and a stranger near her and touching her and all the noise and movement that comes with the tools not to mention the vulnerability when sedated. She was an absolute good girl! It took some very strategic handling sessions, but we got to the point where not only could I rub the base of her ears, but also (oh so delicately) brush her forelock and braid it, AND somehow we got a bridle path done 😳 and the top of her mane finally got a braid! She has a vet and osteo session booked next week, as I do really think she has something going on in and around her poll / atlas area👨⚕️The round-ups can be so hard on them, emotionally and physically. As soon as they are able to be assessed and safely handled, it is so important to look past just feeding and grooming. Providing veterinary care, dental work, body-workers, farriers, and trainers are all a part of ensuring that you are holding up your end of the partnership.
