Frustration

Tonight Becca did not come up for dinner. No biggie, not unusual. She gets almost no cardboard-tasting-diet pony food and there is lots of grass out there. But, she acted interested. Uh oh. Now I see the characteristic hop of lameness.

I fear tendon involvement. It is on her right foreleg near the pastern. I have her hydro-ed and wrapped. She is now in the stall. You know she is hurt when she relaxes in isolation. I am praying for lots of dry weather. This mud is deadly.

I really wish I had more facilities. I really need to get a horse barn built...and paddocks.
