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

Aww, poor Teddy. Hope he gets to feeling better soon -- that sounds painful! And your poor Daddy. That must have been traumatic, hehe. *ahem* Well, its good to hear an update from you. I got your voicemail, but my evenings have been booked so I haven't gotten to call back yet. I'll catch up with you either tonight or tomorrow night though. Take care... love you!
Sorry bout Teddy, hope he gets better soon...
oh goodness!!! Watch out for those snakes, they'll getcha if you're not careful.
I haven't had time to talk to you much lately...we are heading out early Friday morning for Hannahs...:D Love you!
Yeah, Teddy's hoof is still split open. Im not sure what to do.. It doesnt look like it's getting better. Actually it looks like it might have slightly gotten worse. He's not limping, so that's good but he's been kinda stancing himself out and putting the weight on his front feet today when I had him hitched up. I've been watching him and he hasnt been doing that in the pasture, so Im not sure if it was just because he was tied or not but I've been watching because that's a sign of Lamanitis.. and It could possibly mean Euthanasia. So please be praying
Tiiiiiime to post again, girly! Hope you've been doing well. I'm staying busy but good. :D It was good to talk to you the other evening... let's catch up again soon! *hug*
