Nox is doing well after his health scare. Penny is always out and about doing work on her farm, so she passes his paddock and checks on him constantly. She sent me this adorable photo of him napping in the shade the next morning after he returned from Cornell. Poor boy must have been exhausted.

Penny has also noticed that he's drinking more water than usual - she fills his bucket 5-6 times a day, whereas before the trip to Cornell, he was drinking 3 buckets. The sedatives he was given make him sweat profusely, so we think he's a bit dehydrated and upping his water intake.
He hasn't had any more nosebleeds this week, so hopefully we're finished with that particular drama. The coffin bone fracture and torn ligament are much easier to deal with emotionally - the emergency events are so frightening. I've been through horse emergencies before, but this was the first time it happened to MY horse.
In any case, Nox is healthy and I'm spending plenty of time with him this week, since I'm off work. Best Husband Ever has been coming with me and took the silly photo below:
