Both Saturday and Sunday for us, Beau's hoofs are better
Tuesday, September 2, 2025
Went over on Thursday for a sugar iodine bootie and Saturday for 2 soaks, took the
THURSDAY: August 27 at the barn about 8 o’clock to 930
It was another beautiful summer night at the end of summer,
which is always kind of sad. It’s a Thursday before Labor Day weekend so it was a lot of traffic during the day but at 9:30 driving home it’s quiet.
I fed the cats cat food in the barn and the hay barn and then when I came out at about 920 they were outside waiting so I had a feeling they were starving so I opened up another cat food and put it in there and that’s the last thing I did by the time I got there of course the horses have already been fed and they were in and I knew it was gonna rain tomorrow so I wanted to try to soak one of his feet well when I walked him you know I asked him if he wanted to go out into the arena and he did but he’s he’s not walking very comfortably so it’s not the hoof. The back left that I usually soak. It’s the right and he picks it up for me to let me know that it doesn’t feel good so I brought the jug, but I didn’t. I didn’t fill it with hot water at home so I had to use the water there so it’s so slow in the bathroom when you put the sticks when you put the jug under the warm water and I put it under the water and then I went ahead and got his stuff ready and I put him in. I got him to.
Saturday Aug 30th:
Talked to Krystyn along on Saturday she recommended that I could stop with the soaking and sugardine treatemnts, he was looking better.
We talked for a while, I really like her. She had a lesson coming. I helped her brinngn in a couple easy horses. Sometimes I ask if I can bringn in some easy horses, like August, Sienna and Cisco. The horses that are doubled up have some issues at the gqae. Krystyn was.watching me give Beau's back hoof attention, she suggested that I just use the hoof care in place of sugar iodine.
When I was talking to Mukey, he had blood on his nose and I asked her about it. She said its from his leg, he has a wound andn the flies do damage to the wrap.
I noticed before I left Beau's eye was swollen adn when I put him back into his stall he used the wall to itch his eye, I thought it would injure him more.
