Of worrying about my EMS horse.... He is now covered in muzzle sores to add to everything else, I'm just sick and tired of worrying about him..He's come in today with raised pulses and a bit footy again, so back to being stabled with just a few hours out, and no riding. He has 3 different muzzles, all of which rub him somewhere, and he's now quite sore and very resentful I can't help thinking it's not much of a life for him...
Selfishly maybe, but I also want to do stuff, it's all happening around me and I'm unable to commit to anything because I just don't know whether he'll be sound or not from one day to the next.
Everyone else's horse is out happily munching away and they're planning loads of trips and riding everyday, whilst I'm endlessly mucking out and worrying, and spending a fortune on various supplements, bedding and low sugar haylage, just doesn't seem fair!
Bit of a pointless post, just feeling a bit defeated today, I hate this time of year....
