Call from Trent

Just got a call from Trent this morning. He was out at the farm and looked at Jimmy for me (it's so unbelievably reassuring to have built a good re pour with my farrier in the last few weeks that he is comfortable enough calling me to chat about my horse's feet).

He hoof tested the left front and said he looks totally fine - no reaction! WOOO!!! Then he tested the right front for good measure and found a hairline abscess along the bulb of his heel. "WHAT?! I was just there YESTERDAY!" I said. He said "It's so minor, I'm not surprised you didn't see it, it's just along the hairline and it's a different color. I know because I know where to look - don't feel bad that you didn't see it" WHEW! Sigh of relief, I'm not a terrible mother. LOL. So, he will instruct the barn owner what to do with it today, if it needs anything. By the sound of it, Jimmy is fine and can go right back outside this morning to play.

I feel like this is the final straw....that we really are truly in the clear now. I anticipate very awesome things in our near future! Back to work, back to building muscle, and eventually.....BACK TO RIDING!!!!!!!! Happy Monday everyone!!!!
