I stole this from a friend on facebook and had to share it!
January 5th 7:30 am, swelling has gone down significantly. I dare say it is all but gone!!!!
My instincts tell me that he just took a miss step. See I was whining and complaining about the mud and was so happy when the ground froze. What I did not forsee was the mess that the frozen uneven mud would be. The mud was so bad that when it froze it made rock hard ruts, holes and rivets. The horses are really struggling to walk over it and I am guessing he was either fooling around and took a bad step on it or even just walking over it could do some minor damage. All I know is it seems short lived and for that I am happy! I am going for a light ride today cause our weather is quite lovely.
For a good laugh take a look at this video.
The frozen mud holes are horrible! Poor Bonnie walks along the entire fence parameter where it's smoother instead of walking straight lines to the gate when it's time to come in.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to put her and another sensitive footed mare in a paddock that's not been used to try to make it easier on them.
Ugh. I hate frozen mud. The current barn is slope-y (is that a word?) enough that we don't get mud accumulations, but the past two were wretched for that!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you love your pony. :-)
Aww that sucks about the mud, but I'm glad the swelling is down. Yay Steady!
