We spent a week in California over Thanksgiving....and the moment we got back last Sunday, E and I drove out to the barn to look in on Curly. Really. We drove home from Portland (that's where we flew in and out of), walked into the house to say a quick hello to the kitty and to get the truck keys, and then headed back out to go to the barn.
All seems to be going well in his horsey world. He got to go out on a trail ride with the 4-H club on the day after Thanksgiving. Other than that one excursion, Curly has had the past two weeks off.
In fact, we were not able to go out at all this past week - not even to clean. It's been a schedule full of doctor appointments, holiday concerts and other volunteer commitments. Finally, this afternoon, I was able to sneak away for an hour to check on my boy and clean his pasture up. (I had to run out by myself as both girls are sick and in bed. Poor things!)
He was a happy, muddy mess and really didn't want me fussing over him. :-)
Oh, and his hoof appears to be doing fine.
