Thursday - 9/10/09

Nothing major.  I doctored Moon's leg.  I'm not sure what happened.  It's not sore and he's not favoring it.  It's just swollen.  I may end up clipping it to see if maybe there's a puncture wound.  He's good about letting me fool with it.  I don't know him well enough to know if it really doesn't hurt or if he's just being stoic.  A's planning on taking him to KOW tomorrow.  She hasn't really made up her mind though.  A prospective client of hers is meeting us there so she doesn't know if she wants to ride Moon for that or not.  We'll see. 

I plan to ride Murray tomorrow.  If A rides Bonnie instead of Moon, I'll have to take Murray because there's no way Dusty can keep up with the walking horses.  I'm not interested in posting for a couple hours!  I need to take Murray anyway.  If I sell Dusty, Murray and Moon will have to be my trail horses.  I just have to wean myself away from Dusty and accept the fact that I have rideable curlies!

The epics didn't fit Murray's back feet.  I think maybe with some work I can make them work but not before tomorrow.  I don't think he'll have much trouble in KOW since the gravel is smaller.  And if he has problems, I can always ride in the grass. 

I took the fly sheets off of everybody.  Moon and Murray have been naked for about a week and Dusty has been since Monday.  I'm tired of not seeing my horses!  Besides keeping the flies and sun off the horses, the sheets have stopped all small bumps from playing.  But now that the flies are less, I'm ready to be rid of them.  I did get Murray a new one last weekend with an attached neck guard.  It'll have to be modified but I can do that this winter.  His sunburn is completely healed.  The hair's grown back in.  I still put sunscreen on him every couple days though.  It was funny when we rode on Saturday, I put sunscreen on him but forgot to put it on me!
