I really felt the love Beau did it all

 Saturday

85 degrees, got to the barn and it was just Patty, the horses were out, Patty was doing the extra cleaning.

She said that the place was a mess when she got their the stall were full of poop. She thinks that the are not cleaning up like they should. I had just come from  Bonnies house I was dropping off my board check. She said that they cleaned the stalls this morning but Patty said that they were a mess whenn she got there.

• Walked the road, grazed along the way
• Did a run around in the arenna
• Rolled and ran like crazy
• In the arena walked around and we did the backing up and turning each side doing such a nice job. Hes a little rusty but caught on everything pretty quickly
• Soaked his hoof, Its hard to get him to keep the soakinng bucket up right but it worked
• I was able to dig out his hoof iwth the hoof pick. He picked up his hoof lightly and I dug out this hoof after it was soaked in epson salts. I gave his hoof a squirt of the Abolize stuff while his hoof drained.
• After he was drained, I saw that Beau wants to be cooperative
• Beau was great on the lead line as I was working with him.
• I gave him a shower very gently and when Patty held his lead line for me, he sort of acted like a little jerky boy. He may have been worried that he wasnt going to get ennoguht attention from me. It gives me a great feeling that hes wanting to have all the attention from me, his mom <3
• I have a new way to wrap his hoof, instead of using a sheet of duct tape that I make by putting duct tape in a criss cross thats about 12 x 12, I am using a piece of feed bag, its basically a tarp material and taping the diaper down with the iodine and shugar. I made the concoution, and cut the diaper and the piece of tarp in a square and then cut some strips of tape to wrap around the hoof after I get the diaper position, just tape it up. I like the idea.

Sunday:

Starting to get really hot now 90s today.  Decided to go over around 230 3pm. Patti was there but no one else. All the horses were out except the onnes that were brtought in at 12 or Patti brought in Ah Leah. Juliette coliced againn and shes on stall rest. a few weeks ago she had surgery for colic.

I talked with Patti for a while, then headed up the hill to see Beau, he made a really beautiful sounnd back to me similiar to Duke. I felt the love today.

Even walkignn with beau was very comfortable. He seems to be comfortable walking a bit annd thenn grazing. I was going to bringn him intot the arena but instead I thought a
