Oh my goodness, what is going on here?Well, Dr. Danielle visited Stormy yesterday, since he had been walking very slowly, and laying down a lot:
She determined that he is foundering, which is a painful swelling of the hooves:
Other than medicine, vet’s orders are that he must be kept off his feet as much as possible for at least a week:
That is not an easy thing to do, even if you aren’t a horse:
So Mary and Mara worked very hard this morning to build a small enclosure (out of old sections of the riding circle) just for him!
So, why am I in here?
I guess I’m stuck keeping him company while everyone else is out galloping around. I don’t mind, anything to help Stormy get well!
And we’re so grateful that Mary and Mara are such resourceful people! ❤️
