OK, so I won't worry and only be excited :)<br />I haven't seen the spot since that day, re appear. He seems to be off a bit this week, probably due to the new muscle working, etc, but is fine/happy/etc.<br />I'll keep with my rubbing, massaging and cool water treatments to help ease his muscles into a new shape! <br />I'm also crossing ALL fingers and toes for your visit!!!!! :) xoKristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-59986594174224956372010-08-31T15:27:19.161-04:002010-08-31T15:27:19.161-04:00Love the "hold your horses" sticker!

AND Laz is fortunate to have YOU! <br /><br />I believe your mysterious sweat mark is a sign of muscle release of not only toxins, but also tension. Laz's newest trim altered his alignment ever so slightly which his body is processing and realigning which is working and releasing different muscle tissue. No concern here as this is good progress! This is on the diagonal from the foot which is firing those muscles he hasn't needed because he was not balanced. This is totally on track and quite frankly it's got me very excited about his recovery!!! <br /><br />Haven't forgotten you....still trying to find a way up there to give Laz his bodywork. Hopefully before winter!

Not too long and all that yucky founder foot will be completely grown out and he will have a nice, strong hoof!<br /><br />As far as the sweat spot, I agree with Ashley -- I recall your chiro said that he could sweat and/or have pus (?!) in certain spots from the release of toxins. I've never seen it personally, but it's the only explanation that I can think of. Maybe it's a sign that his body is "realigning" and starting to heal all of his strained muscles, etc.<br /><br />Glad to hear that he's feeling good enough to buck and hop, but mature enough to listen to you and stay calm. Progress all around!Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-4612187640106360942010-08-27T13:26:36.822-04:002010-08-27T13:26:36.822-04:00Love to continue hearing about how happy and joyfu...Love to continue hearing about how happy and joyful Laz is :) brightens my day!! That sweat spot is strange...I've noticed things on Ella like that before but never really thought anything of it. Hmm...? Didn't you one time say he sweat in the spot the chiro worked hard on? Maybe its the same kinda thing but the bpdy workin itself out? Releasing toxins or something. Thats the only thing I can think of but I'm not equine expert hehe. <br />Feet look amazing!!! GO LAZ! and Go YOU for seeing him through all this!! You have been a great momma to him!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984295912656964300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-15429068089983710662010-08-27T06:36:59.181-04:002010-08-27T06:36:59.181-04:00Feeling the summer-ending blues here too.

Hooray again for Cliff.<br /><br />Weird wet spot. It makes me wonder about my horses - I always just assumed they had just rolled in manure. Now, I think maybe not.<br /><br />I LOVE that sticker! That is me at all times!

I feel like Laz had that type of feeling, where bucking just felt good..."<br /><br />ACK!! I totally know what you mean, and I've thought the same thing when Miles does a little "scoot" move, whether it's out of his stall or a gate (we haven't had the opportunity to work on a trailer, unfortunately). It hasn't happened in a looooong time, but I always thought the same thing-as long as he didn't end up on top of me, I know that feeling! :)<br /><br />Glad you guys are having such a great time together. I'm weirded out to see the signs of late summer/fall as well, but honestly this summer really sucked weather wise so I'm grateful for the crisp air in the morning:) Laz's feet look great!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665170020323796310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-69355430437643913212010-08-26T23:00:54.886-04:002010-08-26T23:00:54.886-04:00Laz is feeling better :)
No rubbing in trailer as ...Laz is feeling better :)<br />No rubbing in trailer as I was standing with him..and he was in it for total of 5 min max. This sweat spot was still WET and very visible after letting him chill and graze for about 30 min after trailer. He was totally calm.....strange, right!?<br />Marissa..hmm, maybe he tweaked a muscle during his bucks?? BUT also, it was wet after his trim. STRANGE!<br />Syd-btw, thanks for the Beta bridle info..now for what color! ;)Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-13713308220368376372010-08-26T22:56:29.093-04:002010-08-26T22:56:29.093-04:00Looks like mr.Laz is feeling better.
