Nas I know is back, last week I mentioned the shuffling look to his walk, and that the farrier had been out to him. Well it worked the next day was an improvement, but not 100% so I was still worried it might be something more.

But then as the days went on he was striding out of his box much happier. There was no thudding of his front feet anymore, then last night when he came in, I could hear him do a rythmic canter across the field.

Followed by a lovely extended trot as he flew past me into his stable. You should of heard the sigh of relief at this point, as much as we have a lot of not so nice stuff going on in our lives at the moment.

All of that I can deal with to a point, but when it comes to my animals if something is not right (infact its any animal) then it just stresses and plays on my mind constantly. I also can’t help constantly thinking the worse.

And in this instance I obviously couldn’t help but think could it of been me riding him! -doh!- I know. one I haven’t ridden him for months, and we all know he can carry me fine. Just watch the beach ride.

So now the mystery lameness is sorted, its time to worm them all and then start doing something with them. I still have to sort out the snot problem its not as bad as it was, and is now just a small amount, but its white!

Its not affecting him as much anymore now and I’ve noticed spirit has the same just a lot less of it. So I’ve got a new supplement to try and I’m hoping coming back into exercise will knock it out.
