[RC] Oro Day Eight ! - Cat ^. .^ ~Title: Oro Day Eight !After Oro's new barefoot trim, he seems to be walking better, but
still stumbles once in a while in the front.
He is now, as of 10 a.m. today, at his new home in Doney Park
north of Flagstaff. I rode him all over the property to
check out the new sites and stuff. He spooked a few times,
but it was suppressed spoke and he did really well. Lots
of changes for him. The staff there absolutely adores
horses and are all really great women! He was wormed again
(5 weeks after last worming) with a different wormer! And
he had his own really large paddock to get used to the other
horses. There is a HUGE turnout area for him to play with
the other gentle horses. They have them divided up into
various groups. The roughneck big boys, and
the more gentle little guys, and there is a group of gentle mares as
well. He was making friend across the fence
from the first few minutes.
I have Oro's pre-purchase exam scheduled with the best vet I
could find in Phoenix on Monday at 1:00 p.m. Dr. Rich said that
he might have what is called a foot fracture that can be remedied by
wearing shoes (which act like a brace) and then take them off after
the foot has healed. I will probably have to get two X-RAYS of
the front feet to determine why he stumbles . . . . we'll
see.
I hope with exercise and lots of the right food he will be
better. My new barn manager does not believe in sweet feed at
all so I am hopeful he will be healthier in a few months. She
said the best thing I can do for him is to exercise him as much as I
can. . . . .
To my horse pals: Any suggestions as to how many minutes
of trotting every other day would be appreciated.
-- Cheers, Fay
