Mouse

Mouse still has that limp on his right hoof. I'll be having a farrier out in the morning at 10 am. I'm having both, Jerzey and Mouses shoes removed for rehabilitation. I'm hopeful it will have a profound effect on them. I've read every thing I've been able to get my hands on about barefoot trimming and I'm hopeful this is their ticket to rebuilding a solid foundation. The last time my farrier was out, told me my mares heels were contracting. I was like, huh? And you still want to keep shoes on her? His response was, she should never be with out shoes. I was like, how could that be good for her, to keep shoes on her. I'm no rocket scientist, but if her hooves can't expand from having the shoes, how could she ever become normal again?

I'm not using the same guy this time. I want a second opinion and maybe a third or fourth if I can't get honest answers to my questions. Any how, my quest begins early tomorrow. I'll be taking pictures of the event and future progress until I get satisfaction. 

It's finally gotten back to normal...

Our week finally come together. Ron was let out of the hospital on Tuesday. Multiple stints and repair on his heart. Suffering previously from a 90% blockage in his heart. What a close call. The Doctor again, advised him to quit smoking. Being a light smoker my self, know exactly how hard it is to put them down. I went back to work on Thursday. There is still not much going on. We have slowed down considerably. It won't be to long before the busy season will start again, so I'm taking advantage of the rest.
