We also became horse nurses this week.
Life on a farm is always an adventure. You never know what problems will be thrown at you on a daily basis. On our second week on the farm, we were promoted to “horse nurse” status.
We can’t quite label ourselves as veterinarians as we never were the ones to shove our arm up the horse’s backside. But basic wound care and administering medicine? Yeah, we got this.
I will admit, it was a bit frightening to be taking care of such a frail, old horse (over 30 years old). But our sweet Alondra healed up nicely after several weeks of us tending to her wounds.
A perfect experience for gap-year Nellie, whose ambition is to become a nurse…for humans. What better way to learn than with a horse? Same same but different…yeah?
And our wonderful friend, Jade, was there to help Nellie. She is also a nurse and continues to inspire Nellie to go down the nursing path. We love you, Jade!
