Sad News

Some sad news to share with you all, my blue mare, Goblin, had a spotaneous abortion of a set of twins on Feb 21, one of them had died a while back, and put an end to both of them, she is doing well, I gave her a shot of Oxytocin to make sure everything was cleaned out, as well as a shot of long acting Penicillin to make sure of no infection. Guess we will just have to try again this spring.
