Full of Flies

Went to visit Walter this morning but the horse flies were so bad, I could not even talk to him for fear they might end up in my mouth!  Just look how they took over his face :-(

Seldom if ever does his owner clean out his corral and with the temperature reaching 89 degrees today the stench was awful.  This is a health hazard but being downwind from the corral he could care less!

Last year when he was grazing at our property I tried to rub vinegar and water on his face but he would not let me.  Of course that only helps if his corral is kept clean.

This evening his owners had not come back yet so I fed him some pellets which he quickly devoured, then I had to talk him into drinking a gallon of water.  I had just finished doing that when his owners got home at 9:15 p.m.

I remained outside watering the trees and plants but no one came to see how he was doing.  Went back with my flashlight and confirmed that he had not been fed...guess he is still on morning feedings.

Thank you for visiting Walter's World.
