Here's my man.
This was the first picture I took of him with the new smart phone in July.

He is utterly scrumptious what a handsome boy he is he has a very kind eye.
You know when you can just imagine how something smells, I can just imagine he smells just lovely

Thank you.
He is gorgeous - I love him to bits.
He is such a kind horse and I can do anything in the field with him - he'll just stand there and let me mess.
He does smell nice most of the time, however when he rolls he's like a hippo and gets the mud everywhere.

What dilution of iodine would you do ?

Hi, I just used the solution available over the counter at Mole Valley, which is 10%

I hate bandaging!!!
I'm not very good at it in the first place and trying to hold his foot up whilst doing it was a nightmare. Ended up with front end not being held onto and OH helping me with foot passing the bandage and the tape (and nearly stabbing me with the scissors).
But, we did it and as said earlier he just stood there like an absolute lamb.
OH coming down to help me in morning before I go to work - hope storm Babet has gone.
Stuck a load of iodine on for good measure.
There was some black on the poultice that came off, so hopefully that is a good sign.

Ohhhh i have tips for that! So unroll your bandage ever so slightly and have his foot bent up help up under your hand and catch one end with thumb and start unraveling and wrapping, I is a pro

Black is a good sign, bet it was stinkyyyyy
