I went out to the barn today - Barry was already there riding Sarge in the arena. I went to visit my boy and his "shoe" was already off the bottom as I took it off. I gave him alfalfa which he always likes. I was out of duct tape so I had to run to the Dollar Store to get duct tape and a few towels for Barry to dry Sarge. I went back to the Barry and filmed Barry riding Mr. Sassy Stuff.
I rode Sarge in the little arena...he is full of himself and a total show off - but I wasn't nervous. I still can ride correctly but I am not the rider I used to be. Working on it. I went around several times - trotted him, etc. Working on it Working on it!!!
I went into the barn and made Red his tape boot - Ray Langley called from Ebenezer and we chatted. Kellie and I had texted and she said the horses were going nuts and 2 ladies had been thrown. Some one had set up a obstacle course with bridges, jumps, hanging funnoodles that freaked the horses out. Sigh...wish I could have been there. It would have been fun - I don't think Red would have looked twice at it. Ray confirmed that the horses were bananas and he was about to go out on the afternoon ride. I am pea green with envy.
I soaked Red's hoof and dressed it. Back into his paddock he went. I will go out there tomorrow to treat him. It still has not busted out and it has been two weeks. Sigh.......
