That's not entirely true, what gets me really, is the announcement of a new week and the tic, tic ticking of the clock as another week is committed to memory. I'm not complaining, I'm a lucky girl and I don't have to get up and go spend all my day at work!! Instead I can dodge the rain and spend my time with my horses.
I don't think the weather was too bad on saturday, I'm not sure as I spent most of the day in bed with what seemed (at the time) like the worst headache in the world. I was a bit worried as our trimmer, Gareth was due first thing sunday morning and I like to be there to go over every last detail of my horses feet. LOL
I awoke, relieved, feeling pretty much ok and had a good morning discussing barefoot trimming, the KC La Pierre method and maintenance work between trimmings.
I wanted to do something with the horses in the afternoon, but the chasse were out, which rules out any hacking (if you value your life) and I couldn't use the school as they were in the wood at the far side of the school. I ended up doing some in-hand work on the land at the bottom of the garden, and, despite the distractions (moronic,mindless yelling, dogs barking and gunshots) Remy was a little star. He's so patient with me, I do love that horse!
I've just seen this post from a blogger friend at Barefoot Horse Blog about hind gut acidosis, I'm amazed that more isn't known about this problem, given the fragility of a horse's digestive system. I'm now treating Anky for this and (touch wood) she seems to be doing better.
