Hmmm...

Well, let's see... Teddy's got a horizontal crack in his hoof that goes around to his heel. It's kinda deep and so I've been treating it with anticeptic and hoof conditioner, hopefully that will help it out. He's not lame on it so that's good. He just limps when I take him across the rocks. We've been putting up new fence for them and expanding the pasture, giving them another 2 acres or so.. hopefully there's nothing over there he can catch his foot on. We bought some suppliments today that you mix in the feed that premotes hoof growth and we got a bag of feed to mix it with so hopefully that'll help some too. I cant ride for atleast a week.. unless I ride Zack.. I used Dad's toothbrush to clean out the crack in Teddy's hoof and dad wasnt too happy about that :( I didnt hear him say there was one in the kitchen so he was mad about that for awhile :P There were two green brushes in the holder so I wasnt sure of which one he used.... so I just picked one :P

Dad and I went and got steel today for his hitches. That was.... well, boring lol but we stopped and got the horse stuff and ate afterwards XD.. So, it wasnt too bad I guess.. well, that's all that went on with me today! Oh and the other night I came across a snake in the woods... *shudders* It was really big and looked kinda mad because the dog was harrassing it... so he was coiled up in an S shape and was watching Eddie, ready to strike if he got too close.. not sure if it was poisonous or not.. :P

Trail Riding Experience

Yesterday, I went for a trail ride with Teddy. We went down by the creek and rode around the field. I witnessed the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.. I looked over and my dog had killed a baby rabbit and he was swollowing it whole.. like a snake :O:O

Anyway, to a better note. I ambled Teddy quite abit Yesterday XD It was fun.. once you get him going at a good clip he's pretty comfortable to ride. I got him up on the road and ambled him listening to the rhythemic four beat gait...There is something about listening to the clip clop of a horse's hooves that is oddly calming and very relaxing to hear.

I bought a new saddle off of ebay the other night. It's a synthetic blue and black saddle.. and is very lightweight.
