Horses and Camping


Two weeks ago Matthew and I went camping at another endurance ride about 70 miles away.  Many of my endurance friends were also there and the weather was perfect for camping.  Unfortunately, Mow got a leg cramp after 37 miles (out of 50) so we were not able to finish our race. We had fun anyways and I can't wait for the next ride!
 
While talking to one of the vets about Mow's leg cramp (and getting him a chiropractic adjustment) we decided that it might be beneficial to x ray his front feet in order to make sure that the angles of his hooves are correct.  I took Mow to the vet the following week and here is one of the x rays.  He is standing on some blocks of wood (you can see the screw) and the white circle is a penny that is used to tell left vs right.  Luckily, his angles look good so he's all set!
 
 
As some of you have heard, our older mini, Spice, hasn't been doing well for about the last year.  He hasn't been able to drive for a couple of years now but Peanut still needs some exercise so I finally got him out to drive him by himself.  We have been taking him jogging with us whenever we go but driving him is so much easier!  He didn't really like going out by himself but I'm sure he'll get used to it.
