Aug 16 17 18th
Actually, Saturday was the perfect day. I walked lunch, bro when I went up to his it was hot when I went up to his.paddock he was speaking to me. He could tell who I was and I was there to get him the other horses were talking to me trying to get me to get them, but he’s my one and only We fid slot
know we walk down the roadway I could tell there’s only so far I could walk down the Greenwood road with him because he starts to act a little funny so I turn around
It was really warm on Sat and Sunday
he lunged a little bit he worked on his backward steps probably did about. I think he did a set of 10 which is 100 altogether really happy.
soaked his left back leg. It went fairly well.
Put his supplements together
I think we did everything I went home and I felt really good. I had a full day and Patti was there. June didn’t come till late. It was great.
Sunday was different.
i’m doing voice to text for this post,so Saturday again he’s been better at the gate. He was great Saturday Sunday he seemed lethargic almost when I was asking him to back up at the gate do I could put him out, he was I mean he was happy to see me, but he seemed preoccupied. I couldn’t get him to back up. I had to give him like a little a little tap with the lead line. He finally backed up. He didn’t charge we walked down the hill. You know he tries to push me around. I have to push him back so I use the crop to point him where we are going. I didn’t know I didn’t wanna bring him in to the arena. It’s just so hot. It was 95+ it was just humid and sticky and gross so I am you know we kept walking. He did pretty good. He was eating grass on the side of the barn. Somebody was in the front. The new people brought their dog that guy was riding their horse hard, bumping all over the place while his wife was playing with the puppy and staying in the shade part of the barn.
when I put the hose on very light. He seems to like to walk around like I’m lunging him. You know I try to get him to do both sides so I get him to do both sides and all of a sudden he steps funny on his foot and he begins to limp and he’s picking his foot up and showing me that it’s painful and I’m pretty worried about him so I bring him in and you know I’m worried I let him go in his stall for a little while and then I took some pictures and I contacted Krystyn and I said I think something is up. You know we think it could be thrush. I picked out his hoof as best possibly ble. Krystyn on the phone commented that it could be thrush, abscess or a rock so I waited everybody left. I sat with him and he was in his arm and put him ties. Then put him in his stall for a while then I put him on the cross ties to take a couple pictures while I did some chores.
put bim back in his stall Kristen came up. She took a look I tried to soak it. I gotta check my pictures. I think I tried to she you know she said we’ll keep an eye on it the next day Monday
On Monday
I texted her. She said he was the same and he went out so I went up there and decided that I was gonna get his maybe I could soak both of his feet his back left that he had been having thrush with and his right which he just hurt yesterday I mean over the weekend so I brought the baby pool and I got a container off by nothing and filled that up halfway with hot water and then brought the hot water over got to the barn. It was just Patti Monday afternoon. I probably was moping you know doing things like looking for jobs and stuff like that and then he ended up like I picked his foot up as hard as it is and put it in the water and he kept it flat. He went to try to dump it but it’s the small baby pool and he couldn’t dump it so he had it in there for 15 minutes. He took a break and then five more minutes. I did not wrap his foot. He at the end he was he was acting had enough and I thought you know could be trouble so I let him go made sure it was picked before I put it in. I brushed it out. I brushed both sides. I don’t know if it’s sensitive hoof. I actually think his foot is sensitive. It’s like you trying to, but you know what do I know he’s not due to have his stuff done until like September 3 so we’ll see.
