Max is away on sleep over at hoof trimmers - bit gutting. Still at least he has the best chance there. Will still be a long journey back to what ever soundness we can find for him. Leaves me in limbo - forking out lots of $$ to get him better - no horse to ride and no $ to find another. Guess that is horses.
Took Ayla to a tiny ODE and it was too much for her. She is still sore and not striding out like she can. Not real signs of lamness just not quite right so she is back on the nurse carefully pile.
Sun has had his first fancy trim and is moving better at the walk. Have put Max's boots on him in the meantime. Like the Easy Boots - Sun seems to too. Still a work in progress but moving better than he has in years - in my dreams we might get another hunt or two if I am patient enough and bring him along slowly. Certainly seeing more improvement in the last 6 months than I have managed in the last 5 years - darn dog tucker!!
JJ also had a fancy trim and my goodness what a difference. Right thing at the right time for that horse. Makes a difference starting with a horse with less issues rather than trying to fix the already broken. Noticing a difference in OT too - getting back to his old self.
Lady and Em doing their growing thing still. Lady is going thru a really akward stage - all belly and no shoulder. Em is just growing and looking better all the time. Must get some photos of them.
Have so many horses and not one to ride - have not cantered a horse in 6 months, slowly going nuts!! Have had a look at a couple but none of them quite right.
Guess I will be slowly walking my darlings for a while longer yet!!!
