Hanging on by the skin of our teeth!

Well today has been one of waiting really as the EI seems to have taken great bounds closer. Though it has been a still day. Hopefully no wind for the next week. All horses here well.

Temps this evening:
Keema - 37.6
Noah - 37.6
Pazzy - 37.5
Amazzon - 37.6
Bartie - 37.7
Lucky - 37.6

For those confused, yes, we do have more than six horses - just taking a couple of sentinel horses in the back paddocks!!!

All eating well, looking well, no nasal discharge, no coughing.....

Kalkadoon reports that EI in the stallions now, Maf-Ue Sultan sporting a temp and Ralvon Nevara around 40 - which sounds pretty up there to me. All ok though. Steel Poppy reports it definitely in all the valley horses now, but not back at the main house paddocks. Probably that Monty, SP index case, has had it for a few days now. So mild at first that it wasn't really tagged as EI.

Sonya rang to say that she was livid that the lady down the road hadn't let them know that EI was in the area - read about 100m down the road. Apparently they've had it for the best part of a week! Common courtesy appears to have flown out the window hand in hand with the infuriating privacy laws.

The Ryan horses still temping normal.....so far and haven't so much as cleared their throat!
