First off, someone came to see Bones today. She was a nice lady, 50 yrs old or so. She's been into Arabians for 30 years, so she understands them.. and I like that! Bones was a very good boy. She seemed to like him and said she wanted to come back out (she only lives like 15 min. away). I don't even know if I want to sell him. If I do, it's going to be extremely hard. The lady agreed to let me visit her farm, and I know she would be a great home for him.
George's old owner came to see him today, also. She said she is 100% positive that she is going to buy him. But, she hasn't paid for him.. so we'll see how that pans out.
Arty has been a little off in the right front for the past two days. Not really lame, just a little ouchy at the trot. It could be a million things, but my best guess would be one of the following:
-
-He got a bruise while on the trail.
-He has thrush. I checked it and didn't find any black stuff, but it stunk a bit and his frog was shedding.
-He just isn't used to being worked. I've worked him harder in the past few days than they have since November.
I don't expect it to amount to anything serious. We treated that hoof for thrush and also put a poultice on the leg. Anyways, here are some cute Arty pics!
Such a pretty guy, I love the cross tie pic where he is being goofy lol. He looks like he has flashy movement too. Hope he gets well soon. Nothing worse than a horse you can't ride when its so nice out! Trust me, I know!!! lol
