My pasture is much flatter than yours but not as flat as it looks. There is definitely a slope to the whole thing. In fact when I was a kid I used to get inside of a barrel and roll down the hill for fun..... No clue why because it hurt lol. I noticed on my favorite picture that he's counter cantering... Grr! I still love it though.

What makes it worse is Rocky turned into a bully after being bullied in a prior home. Chrome is just too passive to be out with dominant horses. The donkey is the only one I've found who is more submissive.

Unfortunately, even though I wanted to do the mule ride I couldn't because my kids were just too small (one was an infant) and I couldn't leave them with my husband for that long. I'd prefer the rim ride too I think. Maybe someday if we ever get out there again.

Just to update you on Gabbrielle, when the vet came out to look at her, I was expecting her to say she had irreversible arthritis in her injured knee, but she said she had that plus Equine Metabolic Syndrome, laminitis in both front hooves, and possibly Cushings. So she got me making all these changes to get her past the laminitis and so far each solution has led to bigger problems. The sand the vet requested in her stall to soften the ground led to sand in her gut. The therapeutic boots I spent a fortune on just rub the skin right off her club foot and cause her more pain. They make boots for normal shaped hooves, not club feet, so nothing really fits her, but I don't want to put on metal supports because she's been so violent toward the geldings. I'm constantly outside mending bloody hoof prints on the boys whenever I let her out of her stall to get some exercise. Limiting her diet to grass hay hasn't helped. She's just living on Bute now, but I'm giving her time. I've seen worse laminitis cases than hers that have been resolved with a happy outcome.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-63276564317589240272019-10-13T09:07:43.298-05:002019-10-13T09:07:43.298-05:00Thank you!
