Yes, the horse is fine. The 25 degree temperature spikes sometimes sends him into a Colic condition, which means he has a belly ache and wants to roll and thrash about. But, horses have so many feet of intestines that rolling can twist the intestines, causing death within hours. At least, that's been the theory for umpteen years. We had a horse a few years back die in a matter of hours, it can be serious and is the leading cause of death in horses.

So, I injected him with some meds, walked him around..and around...and around, and watched until the urge to roll went away.

So yeah, the moon deal was an added bonus. Will have to wake the daughter up tonight for round two, like a ruhtard I didn't take any pics.
