This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Catherine,
Sad and good news about Markmann. Looking forward to having to contain a young horse for two months doesn't sound like fun for anyone, him or you. But maybe he'll be OK. Should we be sending him stall toys? Somehow, I feel like we are grandmas to sick young horsies and should be sending just the right thing to make him happy during his bedrest. You don't happen to own a Buster Cube? Possibly something he could play with filled with peanut butter or..... If you have someone with the right bent (and time, of course) he could be clicker trained to fetch things - and keep his mind occupied that way. A piece of metal that acts as a mirror might interest him if somehow one turns up for you. Well - my suggestions are pretty feeble. I'm just so sorry this happened.
