Lately on the ranch, we’ve been goin’ nuts!!!  Oh, I meant to say….the nuts have been going.  We got a few new horses, they were way past due to becoming geldings.  Let’s get real……there can only be a few good studs around here!    The vet arrived and the camera started rollin’…….

The bay was first.  He gets a shot, he’s not going to feel a thing in a few minutes.  I didn’t have a good shot of what happened inbetween, but you will see more with the sorrel horse.

A little unsure, but this is all the fuss we get out of him.

And there you have it!  Here’s to the ranch vet, along with a couple good men…..who make it all look so easy.  These guys keep ranching alive and well.  I am simple amazed, modern medicine has come so far. I can’t believe how smoothly things went,  I thought I was going to see it get a little western.  You can always tell when people know what they are doing……most of the time it goes off without a hitch.

I just love ranching and I can’t wait to see what these two horses will become!  Next stop……..the round pen!
