Mister's Vet Check

Today Mister had his vet check by Mike McGowan and Mister did very well except he didn't like when the vet stuck his fingers in his mouth, he backed up. We had to decide then if we would give Mister medicine so the vet could check his teeth to make sure they were good. It's a good thing we did that because he needed work. He got his teeth floated and Mike said he had teeth of a twenty year old, which is very unusual for a horse his age. Lynn and Gary must have taken very good care of Mister. When he got the medicine, he looked very tired and that he might fall down. But he didn't. He didn't mind getting it done.
The vet showed me and Mama how to find Mister's heart beat so I can listen to it. Now I'm going to write on a calender what riding I do with Mister and I'm going to take his heart rate after I ride him and then take it again twenty minutes later. When we do a lot of work, I am going to give him the next day off.
When we feed him, we are going to sprinkle a bit of table salt on his feed because he a little lump on his neck (his thyroid) and that will help him. The food he is getting right now is just right for him and I will feed him the same thing that he is eating now. The vet said that he is in really, really good shape - especially for his age - and his body looks like he is only eighteen, except maybe for his gray hair! Mister perked up when the vet said that, that made him very happy. I was very proud of Mister.
I took Mister out of his stall and back to his pasture before I went home for supper. Mama checked on him and Ginger later and fed them treats. They are fine.

Waiting for the check.
