Runners

Apparently we struck a funny bone with several people with our description of the runners on our vaccination day post. We certainly had a lot of funny emails from our clients in the last couple of days. Several people wanted to know if their horse was a runner. Some seemed mortified at the possibility of their horse being a runner, others were confident that there horse was a runner! Thankfully most of the horses are easily swayed by the presence of food and most of them opt to wait around hoping for a treat from one of the feedbags we are carrying with us at all times.

I was laughing with a friend of mine about how much planning, organizing, and strategizing happens in advance of vaccination day to make sure things go smoothly and efficiently. I spend tons of time at my desk typing out various lists of instructions and Jason and I plan out our strategy for each pasture as far as who goes first, etc. Her comment was that of course the horses were planning and strategizing as well. I saw this picture floating around on the internet a few days ago. I would imagine it is an accurate description of how the horses plan for vaccination day:

Replace "Ride" with "RUN" and this is how the horses plan their strategy for vaccination day

For everyone who got such a laugh at the mental image of the runners, and of Jason and I chasing the runners, I thought I would give you one more laugh on the topic!
