Warmer today Beau might need a visit from Dave
Its been a while since we started Biotin for Beaus hoof and thrush. I took a pic today out in the paddock, he felt a bit conserved, I read a few articles it looks like his new hoof is coming in nicely. As I snapped apic on my phone, he seemed ok it wsnt until I got home and looked closely that I saw there is a crack and a chip. Im hoping that Dave is coming over some time soon to give him. a trim.
I think that the ice is bothering his feet. We worked out about 40 steps backwards. I rubbed him down. IT was cold out getting to higher 20s but the wind made it seem so much colder. Its warmer than last week so he has his blanket off.
Also I want to let Dr Katz see how strong Beau is with his giant back kick.
Dusty Beau and Mac. While I work with Beau each time, Mac does tricks to get attention whil eDusty just waits for me to go over to him because he is used to having me stop by and give him a treat after working with Beau. Mac does things like paces back and forth goes to the edge of the paddock and sticks his head into Beau's paddock and even kicks his front hoofs to get attention. He is very young I think3 or 4 and he is one of the 3 Amy has at the barn. The others are Chewy with the sway back and the new over 16 hands, Callie young with a white blaze and large frame. Hes has a ginger or reddish color. Not as red as Millie was but still red.

Tuesday Morning Jan 6th, not as cold as yesterday
Just Bonnie, Krystyn and me today. Yesterday was super cold, today was much nicer. The horses were even able to get out into their paddocks for 1/2 day. I got to the barn and Krystyn and Bonnie were having a converstation. Bonnie was getting ready to drive up the hill to put the hay in each paddock.
I was able to bring Beau out to his paddock, we had to walk very carefully on the very edge of he path up the hill. When I placed the halter on BEau with the chain on his face, I think he was disappointed. I did not want to fall while walking out to the paddocks with him. As I walked across the arena with him, I talked and let him know how happy I was to be with him but I also made sure that he knew when we got out tothe icy snow, he woudl need to heed to my lead. I gave his lead line a tug. He looked at me very disapointedly. He thought that I didnt trust him, well I did not really trust him.
so I let up on the tightness of the halter and he was happy. He slipped a little bit as we made it up the crest of the hill and again a mis step near the paddock gate. We both went into the paddock and I gave him a snack and hug.
Took a couple of pics of Him and also of Dusty. Krystyn was walking up the path with the two horses that go into the corner.
