The photo speaks volumes about how Colt's feelin'.
The lil' stinker has ripped off every stable bandage I've put on him...so, I gave up on the wrapping. He's still getting the Numotizine and cold therapy. I didn't bute him, but have him on MSM at the moment. Living where we do, I put him on what was readily available to us.
Thanks to all of you for your comments, concerns, healing thoughts, and input on caring for his injury. It's GREATLY appreciated!
But, I finally got the nerve to trot him in the round pen. The reason I say that is because I was afraid he hadn't improved...and didn't want to know...silly huh?
He had to stay on the lead though because he's ready to go rippin' 'n tearin'...and he'd rip 'n tear his leg worse than it already is. Anyhow, he's not bobbin' his head at all at the trot, but I can still tell there's some soreness. The swelling has gone down a lot, but he's definitely not ready to be off stall rest or therapy.
Sorry Colt~~

Brego's coming along nicely. He's always been real goosey when you haven't worked him in a while. We're just doing round pen 101, basic ground exercises, picking up the feet with the rope, and brushing. Even the brushing tickles him. But, we're on day three now and he's coming along nicely. At this rate, I hope to have him saddled again next week.
Glad Colt is doing better! MSM is wonderful stuff!
ReplyDeleteWell I think it's good you're working one while the other one rests. Looks like its nice up there! Can't wait to read more...
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to mention that the last photo of Brego is a really nice one!! Very glad to hear that Colt is doing well...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Colt is feeling better! It's nice you have a great area to put him on rest in. We have to create an area when our horses need it, it's a little bit of a pain. I sure like those pics of Brego. Especially the last one, with the chippy paint barn. Nice colors together, I could style a living room based off those gold and blue tones, LOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad that Colt is improving. I bet he appreciates the time you spend with him while he's in confinement, too.
ReplyDeleteBrego is the prettiest horse. He looks very photogenic.
