Brego Headed to Training

We were able to bust the trailer out of the snow on Saturday. Luckily we had the truck (with chains on the tires) and the tractor to pull the darn trailer out. So now that the trailer is out of the huge snowdrift, I can get Brego to the trainers.

I called last night and made arrangements to haul Brego on Thursday to Jake Jass. I can't wait. The only issue I currently have is that Brego is thin. I'm not sure if it's that he's off his worming schedule since I have been bad about it, or if he's getting pushed away from the food.

When I first got him, he was full of worms. I thought I had it under control, but apparently not. When I went to pet him, I could feel his ribs but his belly looks big. So I'm guessing he's wormy. I wormed him last week but want to worm him again with a different kind to see if that helps any too.

If he's getting pushed around and not fed then I need to figure something else out. But unfortunately I can't get a ton of weight on him before Jake starts working on him. I guess I'll tell him my worries and we'll go from there. Jake is pretty good about taking care of the horses so he'll at least know my concerns. I plan on stopping out a couple of times to check on him and at least once to worm him.

But at least Brego will be the last horse to send to training for awhile. No more youngsters for awhile anyway, unless I open my big fat mouth!
