I've been visiting Curly every other day, to clean both his stall and his hoof. We've become quite skilled at the whole Epsom salt solution in the soaking boot thing. The hardest part is getting him clean enough to soak the hoof - mud season is beginning around here and he's a mess.
Anyway, during last night's visit Curly walked normally all around his dry lot and seemed very much his old self. I think we may be through this latest bout of lameness. And an abscess never did appear on that right front hoof.
E was invited on three separate trail rides last weekend. They were all given to her as birthday presents - a wonderful present, I'd say! She will go on the first one this Saturday...and she may even get to ride Curly rather than borrowing a friend's horse. I might get to go too, riding my old friend Q.
Keeping my fingers crossed that Curly stays healthy.
