Yikes!<BR/>Good for you in being fearless and treating her the way that you did.<BR/>And even better that you've desenitized her to the blowdryer.<BR/>I'm going to take this as a sign and see how my mare reacts the blowdryer, too.<BR/>And if she needs some desensitizing then we can work on that before we actually might need it in an emergency. gah!<BR/><BR/>Amazing photos, by the way.

I'm glad she is ok in the end - but wow. Good for you for treating it so well in the cold. <BR/><BR/>I would be interested to know how many horses can tolerate having a hair dryer around? Good that your horses are used to it.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.com
