"boy, she's FAT!"

that's what the vet says. she's very right. naomi, for being a rescue horse, is quite the porker. it could be the constant standing around, doing nothing all day. she's so laid back, i doubt she runs around much for fun. in fact, i've only seen her run when i've chased her around the pasture. yes, a chubby horse, being chased around by a chubby girl... i'll just leave you with that entertaining mental image.

but anyway, the vet came, said aside from her weight, that Naomi is quite healthy. no sand in her belly, decent teeth, and easy to draw blood, no spazz-out needed. we will get her coggins' test results back on tuesday. with that, im still awaiting the brand inspection (this is a new one for me, being a new yorker where livestock isn't nearly as much of a commodity)... apparently there are only two El Paso county inspectors, and they are very busy folk. but still, we forge ahead. Naomi's new move-in date for USAFA is Tuesday, 7/27.
