Giddyup!

Midnight would make an awesome barrel racer if he was sound. Jake rode him again today, and OMG, that horse is quick. He was all fired up, and Jake loved it. Midnight was really good, even did flying changes, and I think he enjoyed himself. I was a little concerned that all the running and turning would be too much for his foot, and he was looking pretty sore at the end. I gave him some extra Bute mixed in a warm mash of alfalfa cubes after the session, so I hope he won't be too off tomorrow. It's a balance, trying to get him going again without making him too uncomfortable, so if this was too much for him, I'll have to have Jake go a little easier on him next week. Jake loves him, says he's just his kind of horse. It really is such a shame he's not sound, but we manage the best we can. I'm thrilled to see him doing this much, after all these years.

BTW: strawberries dipped in nutella? Best thing ever.
