Got to the barn, and Patti was riding Aleah I wanted to just say hi and and then just get my boy and get things going.
Walking up to the gate and paddock, Beau saw me and was very happy. I slip the lead line hook down into the gate's opening, then open the gate, no problem, Beau steps out and grazes right away. Hes a good boy. So very well tempered. I am very proud of him. No jumping or spooking and jerkying all walking calmly. Its amazing.
I like to get him on the nice day, and walk down the hill slowly so he can graze, it was an exceptionally nice walk down the hill. I was heard sweet sound in teh grass, i looked an a little bunny was hiding in the grass, I thought there might be another one there with him chewign on grass. it make me feel really nice.
Well Beau was great eating his way down the hill. I thinkn he was excited to be gong down the hill into the barn. I brought him in the stall so he could grab some water and hay.
Got the hot water ready before I brought Beau down. I make the water and the epson salts. It took a while to get him to put his foot in. I had to almost dance with him. I also used the rope I had. He soaked for about 8 min. He also put his hoof down flat for that whole time. I was so happy so proud. After soaking I put his hoof into a dry area, down him down. and then I keep working on the criss cross duct tape piece and mix up the iodinne sugar mixture in the diaper.
I made that up. Diaper mixture and worked on lifting his food. I know that picking up his hoof is a pain for him.
I spoke to him genlty while gong through the process of getting his foot soaked and wrapped. He was good even putting the diaper on and just pushed him on it as I laid it on the floor. He stepped back into the wrap and I tied it right up. and put the duct tape on the top and placed a couple more on to secure it. So proud of him today It was a nice visit, Ill be working with him so much more. I cant wait <3
