Woo-hoo! Amber has a new owner!

So now that I have time to write a proper blog...

Casey texted me at 9:30am and said the vet could come at 11:30, and could I make it?

I was sleeping hard...after 2 days of working at 5am with little sleep, I was loving the extra sleep. But I literally fell out of bed!

Got there at exactly 11:30, and the vet was already there. I'm famous for running late...but he hadn't been there too long.

He was very nice. He looked her all over, did flexion tests...looked at her teeth. She still has her wolf teeth, which are huge the vet said. He said they were not a problem [right now], but if they started to be an issue I should get them pulled. And of course, I will do that. Could be part of the reason she pops her head up every now and then when I give a squeeze on the rein.

Amber's facial expression was priceless during the exam. She was very well behaved for the vet, but she looked so confused. As he flexed her hind leg, she gave a bewildered glance at us like "What's all this about?"

Vet said she was in good health, no sign of lameness or injury (present or past), she was in good weight and seemed to have a nice disposition. That's my girl!

So I'm relieved and very excited. I unofficially have a very healthy, sound, sane horse. What more could a girl want?

I just ordered her halter and stall name plates, as well as a few other things for her. Friday can't come fast enough!

Andrea will be picking her up on Saturday after I get off work.

Just a note to myself, thing I need to get before we haul out:

Coggins
Shot papers
Proof of ownership
How much grain she's getting
When she was last wormed
When she was last trimmed

Also, I have put up her designated blog - Chestnut Mare Syndrome. Run over and follow it - I apologize for all the moving around lately, I just didn't feel it was right to continue to blog on Jack's blog. I felt like it should be left alone. That's an era past; and blogging about my journey to the next horse seemed wrong. This is my final move. I plan on having Amber until she crosses the rainbow bridge.
