Night before the scope

Well tonight is the big fasting & of course it's a nice evening out. Ben was fully enjoying himself this evening eating his hay, took a little nap, then he grazed around a little, then he saw his neighbors playing so as they were cantering he decided to join in a lap along the length of their fields with them. I was so happy to see him just being a horse. It's been awhile since I've seen him like this & it was really nice. Of course I feel like a horrible mom because he has to be taken away from his friends, brought into the indoor with just a bucket of water & no food... oh the joys of gastroscopy...not so much. I'm not looking forward to the long drive even though he is a good man about trailering it's still a lot physically for him to balance himself & use his muscles like that. At least the weather is supposed to be in our favor this time around instead of rainy like before! I'm hoping for some positive improvements with the test results.

On a side note for Ben's birthday & an early Easter present his grandma got him a big beautiful bale of western alfalfa hay that has the sweetest aroma coming from it. If they could sell perfume that smelled like that I might actually consider the stuff! Nothing smells better than great hay! She also got him some of his special feed & a Nibble-N-Go nibblenet which is a baby nibblenet to hold his alfalfa hay. Gave him his first slim flake today & he enjoyed it! He went from his alfalfa hay to his regular hay back & forth until the alfalfa hay was gone. He is a character!

Tune in tomorrow for the test results!
