We arrived in College Station to the first rain they have had in months. For some reason I always seem to bring the rain with me. Plan a trail ride, it will rain. Plan to video tape the youngsters, it will rain. It hasn’t rained for most of the summer and College Station has been in the middle of a severe drought. So, even though we had plans for the weekend Candy wasn’t sad to see me bring the rain yet again!
I got to visit Dr. Cliff Honnas’ new clinic, Texas Equine Hospital, opened in Jan 2009. Dr. Honnas is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons & is Board Certified in Equine Surgery. Dr. Honnas was an Equine Orthopedic Surgeon at Texas A&M and was a professor at Texas A&M for 18 years. Dr. Honnas was among the excellent professors that taught me as I went through vet school at Texas A&M.
In between the showers, we did dash out and try and take pictures of our mudpuppies. No video though, the ground was slick.
We took Candy’s 4 Runner mudding through the back roads and she’s still getting mud clods out of her undercarriage!
On the return trip, we passed through Madisonville and what did I see but two Painted Ponies before my eyes. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am an avid Painted Pony collector so this was a real treat for me….
