Ella leant against the stable door as she watched Nattie and her foal, Lilly, very carefully. The Vet was coming to check up on the two today, and Ella wanted to make sure everything was perfect. Ella saw her watch and knew that the vet was going to be here soon. She quickly hurried up to the tack room and grabbed the two halters and lead ropes that belonged to the mare and filly so that the Vet could test them out on the ground walking and trotting if he wanted to. Well, getting Lilly to trot might be a problem for him, thought Ella as she watched Nattie nicker to her foal, Lilly who was in the stall next to herself.

Ella smiled as the vet arrived. He introduced himself and then Ella introduced herself. "Thanks for coming, I'm Ella." She smiled when he mentioned her horses. "Nattie's good, but it's lilly, not Lucy. But yeah, lilly's good."

"sorry," Logan said "what one would you like me to look at first?" he moved his bag next to the stable so the horses won't stand on it.

(Don't worry about it!)
"Don't worry. Loads of people make mistakes!" She smiled. "Probably best to look at nattie first and then hopefully Lilly will understand what you're doing as she doesn't like it when you do something to her she doesn't know or hasn't seen."

"Not really. I've lightly lunged her and when I take her out to the field I give her a little trot. She's been out to the field often. " Ella smiled. "i'll get her out. " She handed him the head collars and lead ropes. "Here are the head collars and lead ropes."

"Of course, wait there." Ella stepped into Nattie's stall and gave the mare a reassuring pat. "it's ok, Nats. " Ella opened the stable door and led Nattie out. She took the head collar from logan and gently slipped it on the mare.

Logan watched Nattie in walk "She's walking nice and evenly on her legs so thats good," Logan walked to Nattie "Hello girl," he said quietly to Nattie, patting her on the shoulder. He went to Natties head to look at her eyes, nose and ears.

"It's an eye infection," Logan said "It's not that harmful but it can spread from horse to human and likewise, human to horse." Logan took two sponges out of his bag "You just have to remember to wipe her eyes, but make sure you use a seperate sponge on each eye, her nose and ears are fine."

Ella looked terrified. She put a smil in her face and nodded. "Yes. Sure I will. Make it better for Nattie, I'll do anything. " Ella sighed and ran a hand over her filly , hoping nothing would be wrong with Lilly.

"don't worry," Logan said "It cures quickly as long as you keep an eye on her and wipe them when you can." Logan ran his hand firmly down Natties front right leg and lifter it up. He wiggled it about. "She's got nice strong legs hasn't she, can you walk her up and down there for me please," he said points along the path "and then trot her there and back."

"good," Logan said writing down everything he found out "There is a 90% chance that Lilly might also have conjunktivitus so you must keep looking at her too."

"I don't know, I haven't looked yet," Logan said moving towards Lilly head. He looked at lillys eyes followed by ears then nose. "Her eyes look fine at the moment but you never know, she looks very healthy."
