The Squid Quid

More quid art ---

Not to be outdone by Emma's artistic quid display the other day..........
(I can't say for sure who made this - or how - but it was laying in Val's feeding corner. )

Presenting..........

The Squid Quid!

(To the right is a standard issue quid for comparison.)

Used Chewing Gum

Is this the horsey equivalent of sticking your gum under the table at the cafeteria?

If I had to guess, I'd say this is Emma's. She is constantly carrying her quids around, twirling them, waggling them, savoring the last bit of juice, then parking them somewhere when she comes upon something that looks more tasty.

Emma's Feeling Neglected

Its come to our attention that Emma has not appeared in this blog much unless she happened to be in the background of another picture.

So here she is!

Emma, to the best of our knowledge, is approximately 30 years old. Pretty good for an ol' Thoroughbred mare, eh? She doesn't have much left in the way of teeth, so eats four mush meals a day. She can't eat hay at all, but loves making quids and showing them to all who visit.

She carries her quids with her, waggles them up and down, twirls them in circles, sometimes finally launching one at a passerby. She thinks she's quite the comedienne.

Lest you think Emma is only known for her Quid Art, think again. Emma is the farm Sweetheart, appealing to visitors and resident geldings alike.

If you'll be in the Spotsylvania area, give us a call. Emma would love to meet you and introduce you to her herdmates. 540-972-0936 or info@equineelders.org
