I just keep it low key and try not to get things too complicated since my patience is probably not at its peak after a long day at work. :-) Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-88736806984527858782014-12-13T07:52:24.284-06:002014-12-13T07:52:24.284-06:00I get so tired after work that I tend not to ride ...I get so tired after work that I tend not to ride during the week, which is so silly. After battling through 40 miles of rush hour to get to the horses, the most I do is feed and groom and call it a day. I really do need to at least hop on the easier horses - for both of us!<br /><br />How Sam Sees Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305827999885588071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-24670937343227836352014-12-12T10:23:39.891-06:002014-12-12T10:23:39.891-06:00Thanks!!

I'll get them toughened back up. :DAchieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-82411887151247461162014-12-12T10:17:30.260-06:002014-12-12T10:17:30.260-06:00sorry his tootsies are a little sore - but major p...sorry his tootsies are a little sore - but major props for getting out and riding even when you didn't feel like it! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-80066468460845227092014-12-12T09:53:52.761-06:002014-12-12T09:53:52.761-06:00It's easy to forget!

Using the app is actually so much easier than having to remember what time I started riding and when I ended the ride and then going inside and tracking the mileage in Google Earth. Now I can just hit a button and forget about it until the end, then take a screenshot and there's all my info. It's awesome. I wish I'd figured it out sooner!!!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-42295326403562223592014-12-12T09:52:05.363-06:002014-12-12T09:52:05.363-06:00That's good to know about the Durasole!

The reason I want to treat for thrush is because he's had off and on sensitivities for a little while. I think the wet ground is just making it more noticeable now. Funny how you don't recognize things until hindsight kicks in. Besides it can't hurt. Maybe it will help with the toe first landings too? :) Thanks for the info!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-90714727211149696482014-12-12T09:49:56.379-06:002014-12-12T09:49:56.379-06:00Thank you!

It's funny that if I make myself go out and ride I enjoy it anyway and then I wonder why the heck I didn't want to in the first place. :DAchieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-30872551521265703762014-12-12T07:47:38.804-06:002014-12-12T07:47:38.804-06:00I have to commend you for using an application wit...I have to commend you for using an application with riding. About six months ago I downloaded an app to my Kindle to track my food intake, calories, exercise, and weight loss, and I have yet to use it. I just don't have the patience to record everything I do in a database, so I get these emails every week that say, "You have xx pounds to go. Please record your most recent weight loss."Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-86905434295781336562014-12-12T04:02:44.224-06:002014-12-12T04:02:44.224-06:00Yes, wet weather can be very tough for hooves! I d...Yes, wet weather can be very tough for hooves! I doubt he would have thrush so soon, but if he does, the absolute best thing is White Lightning. You do have to put each hoof in a sealed bag (I use a dry bag meant for kayaking, etc.) with the solution for 45 minutes, but it kills EVERYTHING while doing zero harm to healthy tissue.<br />For sensitivity, I like venice turpentine or Magic Cushion (which is basically venice turpentine and ground-up leather made into a hoof packing). A lot of people rave about Durasole, but when I tried it, it did indeed thicken Salem's sole, but it was very brittle and soon after the thickened part of the sole sloughed off. Very odd!
