Nasal discharge (which she has had a bit of for a while now) was a bit worse this morning and she hadn't eaten any feed overnight. Decided to send some blood off for tests and give her a gentle day with just a steady canter on the all weather. Heart rate before, during and recovery all what they should be, and blood tests came back same day as all normal. Weightape still 440kg ish yesterday and temperature 38.2, so also in the normal range still, but something doesn't seem right with her!
