| Hampton ... drunk as a skunk. Drooling. |
Hampton had to be sedated of course, and ended up having 3 caps extracted, plus one segment of a baby tooth that was wedged back in his mouth along with some food. I saved all of the teeth ... lol, no I'm not creepy or anything ... and hell I might make a necklace out of one of the larger ones. I know, I know. WEIRD-O!!
Anyway, he has a chiro appointment next week so we'll see if anything is going on there before I go ahead and get his hocks examined. If all checks out, then the canter this is a fitness, training, riding issue and we go from there.
He will get several more days off to recover from today and probably a few light hacks toward the end of the week.

Equine dentistry is so interesting! Our equine dentist has a speciallized trailer that is basically a big horse dentist office. Plus he is an awesome guy. He is a track vet in Minnesota and takes all the unwanted retired racehorses to his 4000 acre ranch for them to detrack and rehab before he finds them new homes. and if they don't find new homes they are allowed to live out their lives with him! Its where I got my big red monster last year!
