Luck Turn

With horses it is always something. It doesn't matter how many you have, there will always be times when there is not one that is rideable. Priss is doing very well. She is pasture sound and happily cranky. Becca is improving but I really think she fractured her spine in that fall way back. I fear she is a beautiful pasture ornament along with Prissy.

This week the farrier put front shoes on Diesel. He thinks our lameness is leg related. He said there are mild navicular changes on the outside and that this is fairly normal in a very large horse. This is not really good news. We are not dealing with just tenderfootedness. To add insult to injury, we get to add an injury this evening. Diesel's hind legs are stocked up quite severely. There is not external sign of trauma. His legs are hot. So tonight he got the works- lengthy hydro-ing, bute, and a DMSO sweat. We'll see how it looks tomorrow. I think this will pass quickly. And I think he will still be lame on his front end. I'm ready for my luck to turn.

Regardless, my life is blessed.
