Frontier & Bartie Friday AM Check

Crisp and clear this morning, had a few mm of rain overnight which freshened things up a little. Marty kept the two 2yo geldings in for me to check. Frontier 38.8 and Bart 38.0 So Frontier still up but to look at is fine, though coat a little off. But his old (shedding) coat that is trying (refusing) to fall out. Couldn't stimulate a tracheal response (i.e. cough in response to palpation of larynx) - nothing. There was the smallest bit of cream goo in RHS nostril, but Frontier has been prone to do that every now and then to the point that I wondered if he had a guttoral pouch problem at one stage (on that same side). So am wondering if he's trying to "hatch" the flu - but STILL no cough! Or anything really definitive. I have to keep reminding myself that there are other "things" about that they get affected by...... Watched them canter off briskly up the paddock - no coughing. If I wasn't taking temps I'd be none the wiser. Certainly only seems to be the pair of geldings, and Bartie very marginally (no temp really to speak) not spreading through the other horses unless subtle increases in their temps are the key and nothing too abnormal since the start of temp taking in that....... Maybe I'll take all the Buchanan paddock this evening if I can catch the other two girls!
