Remedy gets a Check up from a Vet:
Laurin nervously watched as her normal vet, an older woman with years of taking care of horses, studied Remedy. She worried that she would find something seriously wrong with the stallion, after putting in hours of time and care with her rescued stallion, she didn't want to find it was all in vain.
The vet, Anne williamson, fearlessly touched, brushed and poked anywhere she pleased on the stallion. Remedy pinned his ears when she brushed her hand down his tail bone, she grabbed the tail and pulled it to the side as she stood by his hip and studied the bone as she carefully ran her hands along it. "Hmmm.. He's got a nick made into the tailbone, it's deeper than anything he could do by himself, someone tried to cut his tail bone short with something. It's healed though and shouldn't hurt anymore, he's going to be tail shy for a while I would assume." Remedy flicked his tail out of her hands and moved his rear end a couple steps away, not liking the attention his tail was getting. Anne gave Remedy's shoulder a couple pats before running her hands along his side, feelings his ribs.
A couple more minutes of visually inspecting the stallion Anne turned to Laurin and gave the girl a small smile. "He's going to need some work with that personality of his but overall he's not doing too bad, his eyes are clear and bright, teeth are as good as can be expected. His feet need a trim as does his tail. I'm sure you can see that he is underweight so just keep feeding him and he'll fill out. In a couple weeks you'll be able to say he's 'as healthy as a horse'."
Laurin let out a sigh of relief and nodded happily, she rubbed Remedy's face as she felt excitement knowing that Remedy was better than some horses that were rescued with him.
