Flash was off and his hooves were very muddy so I cleaned them out and put him in his stall where they could dry. I suspect he has the same "wet = soft soles = hard footing = ouch" issue going on.
This evening when I got home from work, I turned Jackson out in the arena for his evening chill pill time. He was calm and relaxed, not racing around or blowing off steam. I let Flash out into the pasture to walk around and stretch while I mucked and he still seemed a bit off.
Brett got home from work and I gave him the update. He wanted to let Flash chill in the arena as well so I suggested putting them in together. I figured Jackson was tired/mellow and Flash was sore so they would behave. They haven't been able to hang together in months.
Big mistake.

I hope they can walk tomorrow.
All i can say is WHOOOHOOOOOOO!!!

Wow - you rode Jackson and did trot and canter - yipee! I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteThe turn out pictures are great. I love the one of Brett running too. I hope they're okay, but I think they will be...
I couldnt decide who, out of the three, gave the better peformance!!lol
ReplyDeletelol! I can almost hear them snorting, neighing, bucking, farting and galloping around...happy and carefree! The joy of being a horse at liberty with a friend. What fun!
ReplyDeleteEven if they are a little sore, it will be worth it for just letting them be horses. :)

Fabulous photos! Can they be together now? I find that they settle pretty quickly and are more content when they are in a herd setting. Can't wait to hear how they are doing today.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures of gorgeous horses! I hope they are okay after the fact because it sure looks like they had some fun. :)
