🎄🐴 The Equine Vet’s Long Winter Nap 🐴🎄
(A holiday thank-you from Central Florida Equine)
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shed,
Not a horse was colicking (we triple checked!), it’s been said.
The owners were hopeful, the barns calm and bright,
Praying the Vet wouldn’t get called out tonight.
The horses were nestled all snug in their stalls,
Dreaming of peppermints, carrots, and hay balls.
And we in our truck, with our gear in the back,
Daring to dream of a long winter’s nap.
But before we doze off with a sigh and a smile,
We thank every client who’s gone the extra mile!
For your trust, your kind hearts, your calls through the year,
You’ve made our vet rounds full of holiday cheer.
For the midnight calls: “He’s acting so bizarre!”
(Translation: he’s galloping laps like he’s in NASCAR.)
For the horses who greet us with mud up to their ears,
And the ones who’ve dodged dewormer for twelve solid years.
For the old lesson gelding who limps until Bute is in sight,
And the mares who schedule colics *always* after 5pm Friday night.
For the minis who plot things we still can’t explain:
We love them, we do… but they’re clinically insane.
So here’s to your ponies, your geldings and mares,
To the barns full of laughter and the hours of care.
May your season be peaceful, NO emergencies in sight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 🎅✨
— With love and gratitude,
The Central Florida Equine Team
