Dude gets Sedated

The vet came tonight. His wife and assistant recognized Dude. She said she has ridden him and praised his smoothness and pretty canter. Neither horse needed his teeth floated. Doc told me to put a big rock in Matt's bowl to slow him down on taking big mouthfuls. Dude got one kind of tranq and still continued to fight so then got Ace. He was still trying to slow-mo kick the doc while getting his sheath cleaned. I've been sitting outside watching him because his head is hanging down and his tongue is hanging out. He is snoring. The good news is Doc says that Matt should be fine once he gets shoes on --- so onward with the farrier.
