Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Taking Things Day by Day With Mr Nobility

Well, here we are. Two weeks away from Thoroughbred Makeover, the big event that so many of us have been working tirelessly toward for the last 6-8 months. This update is not the one I want to be writing, and comes to you a week after I spent the day at King Animal Hospital, waiting for Mr Nobility to receive laser scarification on his soft palate.
