Speedy

Speedy is now a senior horse. He was already more than 9 years old when we got him and that was 12 years ago...so in human years he is in his 60s.  

And it shows...he is set in his ways, grumpy some days, ignores the younger animals , stiff in the mornings and at the moment loosing weight due to diarree.  

Got the vet out this morning because of his diarree and he gave Speedy antibiotics and a vit B booster shot. 

No horse deworming medication is available in Fiji at the moment but the minute he got a chance, Speedy took down 2 papaya trees! And that is an excellent natural deworming treatment....how clever is he not.  

So usually he does not have access to the papaya trees but untill the rains come and the grass starts growing again, I think we will sacrifice some trees for him.
