| Rupert's casts from last August. We got orange this time too, so no new picture. |
We have Rupert back in casts to try to correct the separation and wonky wear we have been seeing on both his front hooves. Andrea put them on Monday and he was still a bit off until today. We are trying to give him plenty of exercise to keep his muscles and joints loose. The good news is that we are seeing a lot less left leg shaking and his shoulder muscles and poll are not as tight. Exercise, massage, and stretches are paying off!
Both boys got round pen time to build up their endurance. They have had so much time off and are really out of shape - not overweight anymore, but definitely out of shape. Kid free-lunged first and cantered like I have never seen before. He used to be so lazy but seems to enjoy running now. Rupert was next and we decided to try voice commands for upward and downward transitions. He knew what to do! We were so excited and are going to try working with Kid tomorrow.
By the way, the bots are HORRIBLE this year. I'm going to break down and buy a bot knife. Kid's legs are covered in the yellow eggs - ewwww. :(
