Of the three parts, this one conveys the most plant emotion of them all, each one could come to life as a character.

This is a position which benefits from a deep understanding of horse (Thoroughbred in particular) behavior, physical strength/ agility and a love of the sport. This can be a dangerous job and this position may have a higher percentage of track injuries.

Bot flies lay their legs in late summer on the legs of animals (especially horses). The eggs make the animals itch, they lick their leg for relief and into their system the bot eggs go.
Their larvae grow in the digestive system of the animal when they are passed through the bowels into their stool. Along the way they strip the animal of nutrients & can cause other damage like ulcers.
First and foremost using fly spray helps to prevent bot flies from even landing. Second, this quick video provides tips for recognizing and removing the eggs once they’ve been laid.
Last week we took a look at some faces in unexpected places, flowers. It was so much fun searching for them that I have more to share.
Don’t worry, this isn’t all of them, check of the first part & there are even more to come.
