Snow Falcon
Hoping for drier days
After speaking to vet and farrier Tuesday I was preparing myself for the worst yesterday. Didn't sleep well, couldn't eat breakfast that morning. Burst into tears after bumping into a friend whilst riding. Phoned the hunt to find out cost and explain where I was in case I wasn't totally capable after farrier visit. Also spoke to another farrier who has seen him recently whilst covering due to knee op.
Farrier hoof tested, no reaction. Pulses seemed fairly normal and pony was ok moving in stable. He asked if he'd been hooning about. Unlikely, he doesn't expend much energy! However, I remembered something at the weekend had obviously set the others off in the 3 neighbouring fields as there were lots of skidmarks. Farrier thinks he's bruised his soles, evidence can be seen. Fronts put on.
Still in stable to allow feet to settle but with "supervised" 1hr max turnout. That should not include chasing after me for a scratch which is what happened tonight. ?. I guess he's feeling happier! The old boy dodged a bullet-literally yesterday!!!
