Sunny December..what?!

 I literally cherish the sunshine. Especially on cooler days.

Today, after work, it was a mild 30 and sunny. No wind. It felt like Spring.

I decided to grab Mason who hasn't been to the barn (old man has been struggling a little lately so I've been spreading out his visits-my loyal co-pilot) in a while and head out.

Carpe Diem bitches. Sunny, and especially knowing I have the babes coming soon, I wasn't going to let this day slip by.

Belly BUMPIN'...You can see my feet but I can't ;)

I'm happy to say that in my 37+ week I can still pick/trim hooves, groom, etc. Riding not so much although if my Hubbie had been with me, I would have done it today.

Mason playing in the winter field (no snow--huurah!)

Flip flopping around

Chewing on one of our future xc logs in the field

 He was literally trying to pick it up

"MOM..I found the bestest stick everrrrr!!"

 

"COME ON STIX!!!!!"

Bless his lumpy heart

Speaking of lumps.

FatLaz in trotting action. We played at liberty today

(yes I had treats in my pocket. Fatty is food motivated)

His hoof resection is looking good. I'm planning on doing a white lightening soak this weekend to keep on top of any possible disease at bay but he is moving sooooo awesome

 He was a snuggle puss. Really into wanting to play/please

 Smiles all around

oh and double chins.

whittle whittle whittle at a time....

These are from yesterday (sunday)

 There is still a lot of wedge in the toe area but my goal is to rasp it enough just so it doesn't hit ground when he trots.
I rasped, lunged him (he is sound sound sound right now!!) and trimmed a bit more...

 I'll be so happy when the heel backs up to support the back of his foot.

I rasped the heel wall to allow the tubules to try to stand up vs being crushed/under run...

we'll see if it works.

Saturday morning

This sleepy fluff head stands for 40 minutes like an ANGEL so I can Clean Trax his hoof

Worth his weight in gold

So, what do you do for 40 minutes?!

Selfies....

 You can sheaths (I'll spare you any photographic evidence)...

You trim Tina Turner manes 

PS I'm keeping it long for winter protection 

 A bit cleaner and oh SO nerdy

 "Bored, I'z bored"

Don't let him fool you, he is quite used to and loves his 'spa treatments' and to be doted on 

Such a clown
