One of these things is not like the other one
Really, papi? REALLY?!So the text is off to the farrier already and I wrapped his foot up with epsom salt, sheet cotton, and enough duct tape to repair the Titanic. I'm not doing a repeat of the Abscess Wars if I can avoid it, no thanks. What is it with this pony and picking the major holidays to pull a shoe? It's not nearly as chewed up as last time and the other three are fine, so I'm hoping it's all going to be okay. I packed and wrapped his foot like he already had a bruise, just to be safe.
60*, sunny, gorgeous, I'm at the barn in a polo (Christmas present from the hubby), and all I could do was groom him, wrap him, and send him back out to the field. Bah humbug in deed.
He does not look repentant.
On the bright side, I took pictures of everything so I can write up a how to post on wrapping a foot after I finish recovering from my Christmas dinner. Roast duck, sweet potato, broccoli, rolls . . . this is not helping me in my weight loss goal.
Welllll that really isn't the kind of present you wanted :-/
ReplyDeleteha! If your weather is like here there is mud everywhere! Irish used to lose a lot of shoes. I bought a pair of horse boots to have on hand. I put them on the foot until the farrier can come. It works great and, for me, was a good investment.
ReplyDeleteI'm shopping for some hoof boots right now, what kind did you get? It's like playing Russian roulette to have him out with a shoe off in the Granite State, I need to have something on hand with all of this mud.
DeleteI bought a pair of old macs. They are a PITA to put on but do not come off. Ever.
Deleteughhhhh booooo Theo!!!
