45 minutes ground driving Peanut yesterday.

15 minute walking Oatie.

Walked about an hour with Oatie this week, it's a guess. I'll have to keep better track.

Thanks! We are all a work in progress, lol. Hubby and Mom go for tests in a few weeks and my mini Cappy goes to Tufts for a CT scan of his head on the 22nd. His sinus infections returned and he may have a fistula from between a tooth or his gums up in to his sinus. And I get my back injected...

Well, I've been doing a little ground driving over the winter, just enough to be able to enter some online classes "Walk Only" dressage classes to alleviate the boredom. Some days it's just throw the harness on and video between the rain storms and crumby weather, but we get it done. Sometime...

Well I've been ground driving Peanut occasionally and hand walking Oatie practicing our "Walk Only" dressage tests for the month. Probably about 2 hours total for April. I have to start keeping track better but things have been hectic here and I just plumb run out of gumption :D !

They look long but not long enough to take 1 1/2 inches. That seems like a lot of hoof to remove. Even for a big horse that seems like a lot of hoof. Do you have any pictures of his foot from the side, on the ground? He's looking pretty darn cute in those ears!

Ouch! Bet she feels better now!

Oh that's too bad, I'm lucky my vet's office always has someone on call. So many vets around here don't do after hour emergency calls anymore, they tell you to ship to the clinic which is not feasible for a lot of people. Makes horse ownership difficult.

Just had a thought, I bet your vet would have them, maybe they'd let you pick some up? You could run the symptoms by them too.

You can order them on Amazon too I think. I meant to add that if you do decide to poultice, there are a bunch of good you tube videos on how to make a duct tape bootie and kinds of poultices. Just make sure to only use the duct tape on only the hoof itself and not get it up on the coronary...

Does she have a digital pulse in that leg? I'd go ahead and treat it as an abscess, can you get Animalintex pads? Tractor Supply usually has them. Those are great for drawing out any nastiness. Plus if it is laminitis, making a duct tape bootie over one of those pads will also cushion her...

You're welcome :) ! Don't they look pleased with themselves! Everyone looks sharp with the white ribbons this year.

White is Billy's color, he looks very stylish! 🤩

This month I ground drove about an hour with Peanut. The footing has been awful this winter. It's so much better with snow instead of mud that thaws and freezes into a lunar landscape. I've sent out emails to everyone requesting addresses today for the ribbons, I've gotten many responses...
