Evening walk through at barn....... I walk up drive, hear A LOT of noise......getting closer to barn, I hear "groaning".......small kick noises. OH VEY....... my walk increases to a trot........flip lights on...and start going stall to stall. Yep..... BlackJack......laying down on his side.......GROANING. I watch him for a few minutes. He groans louder. My blood pressure rises. I step into the stall...and push his butt with my foot... he lifts his head slightly to give me a look. I push him again. Nothing. I kneel down...feel his sides for sweat. No sweat. Lean to his tummy and listen for gut sounds. Yes.....gut sounds. I tell him firmly to "get up". He gets up on his elbows and looks at me. I grab his tail. He gets up, shakes off and comes over to nip me. I feel his sides, listen to his gut while he grabs my shirt. My breathing returns to normal. I ask him to walk off. he proceeds at a gallop out of his stall and into his paddock where he bucks, farts and rears a couple of times. Hmmm. Hmmm. I pick him some grass which he gobbles up...and then I pick him some more......and then I have to give Laddie some because he is right next door begging.... and then I have to pick Iris some because now she is awake. Off go the lights......and into the night I go.
