Raven colicked this morning. It was mild and I got her to the vet in plenty of time. It was sand colic. My vet oiled her and her oil is coming out, but this has brought me to the conclusion that I just have too many horses to properly take care of. They all live in a herd and I haven't done the psyllium as often as I need because it is hard to pass out feed pans to everybody and keep the agressive ones from gobbling their pan down and then chasing off the submissive ones before they are done. I'm going to tell the nurse that bought Mom's two horses, Reno and Carson, that she will have to take them home. She has a place, but wanted to keep them here because of my proximity to trails. Foxi and her yearling colt are for sale. Foxi is part Icelandic and probably part Shetland, is 12.2 hands, bombproof and grandma safe and gaits on a loose rein. She is 14 years old and I want $3000 for her. Her almost yearling colt is a gaiting fool in the pasture and is 3/4 Icelandic. I want $800 for him. I will be getting him gelded on the 23rd of April, then I will add the gelding cost to his price. I absolutely have to cut back in order to be able to properly care for them. It is my fault Raven colicked, and the rest could easily have colicked, as well. I now have the dominant horses seperated and they will all be on psyllium for the next 3 weeks.
