Weekly catchup

 Hoof cast #2-so far, on tight for over a week and a half 

YAY! 

Doesn't it seem that Laz's toe is non existent? According to xrays, there is actually a lot of toe.

The hoof cast is to give his sole some protection, the hoof wall some protection as it grows out.

The angle that his hoof wall is at, growing in, is always so odd. I hope this foot can grow normal one day.  The back up isoxsuprine is to help blood flow, that paired with comfortable movement is all we can really do to help set him up for success.

So, we'll see

For now, Laz seems to like his cast, so that makes for a happy horse Mom

 This horse has more heart than I could ever ask for

Cutie pie OTTB "Red" aka "Red Zepplin"

He's gaining weight nicely and slowly and looking good.

He's really winning me over. He's like a tiny, petite little OTTB that is VERY wary

 The happy little herd

 This weekend, I'm barn watching again.

LOVE doing it! Any excuse to see my horse 2x a day, yes I'll take it

This morning at 7 am, this is what Mason and I saw pulling into our barn's road

 More deer in the background. We saw a total of 12 deer

Meeting the boys at the entrace.

 They graze in one of the two larger pastures at nighttime

 The world's best helper hound

 Keeping an eye on the hay, from....??? lol

 The boys all come running up for their grain feeding

 A hosed off worker hound

 A panoramic view of the day time pasture area, natural shade, tons of room and shelter if needed.
I seriously am obsessed with this barn's layout.
Whoever was the original barn designer of the space, was a genius.

Turning the boys out to the evening pasture to graze 

Theses fatties LOVE their evening graze time

Last one out...Laz was not paying attention to the moving herd and then turned on the OTTB and came trotting to the track...

 and BOOKED it out to his buddies at a dead nuts gallop!
AWESOMENESS...this is my horrible picture as I fumbled to capture it while trying to enjoy watching him move like that in real time

Magically serene

The herd all together in early moonlight

Swoon!

When you board; and you know your horse is not only happy but fairing so well, it's the very best feeling.  It's hard to find places like that, and I thank every day that he does well there.

And, have you heard of this site??

It's HILARIOUS..and this is our entry of Pudgie

Hope it makes it! :)
