Saturday I was able to go over to the barn in the afternoon,
The rain was heavy, but it was very nice.
I took Beau into the arena and me and Patti just chatted for a while it was pretty cool actually. I grabbed a bale of hay and put it in the arena. Beau chewed away. They did hay this week and it was kinda green. I dont think that one of the mares like it, Juliet, she kicked the door of her stall so hard that it was scary.
That day we were able to get in a soak for his hoof. He tilts his foot in a dainty way its super cute but it makes it so his hoof is not flat against the water in the soaking. June on Sunday showed me a way to pull on his tail to the direction that you need Beau to flatten his foot and he will change his weight in a shift that helped him stablze his weight.
On the way home I was driving over the Concord River bridge and saw a painted turtle trying to get up on the sidewalk and there was no way for him to get back into the water because the river was blocked by the bridge railings, dividers and soem strange bulky piecies at the edges so no animal could get through or over into the water. I turned around quick parked on Elsie ave and ran to get him on the side of the road. I brought him back to Elsie Ave and put him in the poison ivy path to the edge of the river.
I am using a super soft brush on Beau now, the ones that they use on face only, super soft brush and I brushed him all over. He loved it so soft, he did that crazy thing with his lip. I know that is the one for him <3
The new people brought in a new horse on Saturday his name is Mack. Hes about 4 years old and very cute. August is trying to make him her gigilo ha ha.
The nice people that own Chewy and Mack are always so considerate and they ask me if I am done in the arena. So sweet, I think that their horses are very lucky to have them. June said that the new horse bucked her at a cantor.
Sunday
Skipping right to Sunday because I am thinking of it and it was pretty exciting. Well for one thing it wasnt pouring out and the horses were able to be outside, but when I went up on the hill my guy Beau was pretty grumpy, I saw that hes been moved again to another paddock, it sort of stinks I wonder what jerkface thought that they wanted Beaus paddock. THe best thing is that Beau cant be with another horse or hell kill them or something. I dont know
Anyway when I got up to the hill the gate opens kinda dumb its crooked, its the one that Dusty is usuaally. Beau didnt care. But Im afraid that they are not going to have Beau out for the the day. Sort of crappy. Well I brought him and and the bugs were so huge and bitting him all over that Beau was grumpy and ready to not even graze he wasnted to get out of the heat soetimes sunny day and get back to his safe stall. He at one point was sort of running down the hill to keep moving and avoid the biting bugs.
We went in and I got him right into his stall. I started to prep his soak but waited for him to relax a bit, sort of calm down. there was a show at 4H today and I didnt go up to it but I wanted to. The 2 people with the 2 horse were working their2 boys. THe woman took their new young horse for a walk down the road. Very sweet. Well Patti was working with Sienna and she was going to put her back into to her stall when she was done with her work.
I let beau calm down and drink get some hay and then I got the pan of water ready and put in the epsons salks. I noticed that Patty was suddenly wanting to help out.
June arrived prob from the 4H show and she was talking about the new horse Riley that was one of the rescues that the nurse has been careing for. She was excited to because she had a rope halter and wante to or work with him.
I asked her to wait to bring the horses it or just give me a few minutes to get Beaus hoof into a soak. She becaues very helpful, she saw how I was trying to make some progress on the soak, she taught me to pull on his tail to help him flatten his foot and she gave me some info on a medication that may help his frog heal. She ended up picking his feet and Beau dumpoed the water I didnt mind he does it now and then.
She got right down with Beau, grabbed his hoof an looked at his bottom.
Later she told me that its ok that i dont think Im doing it perfect. she held his head feed him so I could get the wrap, she was excited about me making the wrap and she said it looked great, she even tested the eded and said it was a snug fit.
I really appreicied her help and her support. Ill write more tomorrow. seemed ve
