Pedicures, Haircuts, and Updates.....

It was a yucky, rainy day here, so we got all the horses up and trimmed their feet, de-wormed everyone, and gave haircuts. We decided to just pull everyone's shoes and give them a good trim this go round. We don't ride much in the winter and if we do it is very light riding, so we like to leave them shoeless for a few months about this time every year. They seem to be fine without them and it gives their feet a break from having shoes on all the time. We have been needing to do this for a couple weeks, and today was the day. We also cleaned Gunner's incisions up and doctored them, the leg is healing very well, I am so pleased with his progress......    Here are a few pictures of our day......

And last but not least, here's an update on Gunner's leg .....it looks really good, there is only minimal swelling, not a lot of drainage, and no warmth or redness. Although he needs his feet trimmed too, we decided to wait. I didn't want to add more stress to him or his leg, and he is still a little sore. His feet are not bad, they can wait a week or two until his leg is healed more.  Here is the "just injured" picture and a picture of how it looks today....pretty good for only 4 days healing time, huh.......

Well, that's all for today, I am gonna have a bowl of Taco soup that I made this morning, after a long day in the cold and rain, it's gonna be sooooooo good! Have a great evening everyone!
