| Glorious sweat marks |
Hampton is back to sweating normally!
I'm not religious but PRAISE THE BABEH JEZZUS
I did double his dose of One AC, and at the same time the weather finally broke to much more comfortable temps in the 70s/low 80s. So not sure which one finally did the trick but Hampton is much happier and back to his normal self, and his owner no longer has to develop ulcers from worrying about him.

| Freestyle practice day |
We are on track for a horse show this weekend. Things are always dicey with covid, but at this point in time I feel the risk of going to this show is within the acceptable range for me. (It is a private facility in Ohio)
And of course I will comply with all mask and distancing requirements. If they cancel, they cancel. But boy do I feel bad for those kiddos who were already on the grounds for the Pony Finals at the Kentucky Horse Park, only to have that canceled. Talk about heartbreaking.
It's a funny balance. On one hand, I don't want to take unnecessary risks. I want to keep myself safe, and those I care about. On the other hand, I don't want to live in fear. I'm trying to do the best I can while following all protocol. Is going to a horse show being foolish? I'm not sure.
in the meantime, I literally threw together our freestyle. I had let it go because of the soundness issues we were having. I figured show season was probably done. Jokes on me. So, I will be winging that particular test this weekend. Fine by me though! I'm so thrilled that Hamp is back to sound and happy.
A little on the chonky side but ... we will just call that his covid bod.
Whew, SO glad he's sweating again, and good luck this weekend! You're gonna kill it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he's feeling better!!! Anhydrosis is so freakin' scary.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the show!!!
Hooray for sweat! Glad Hampton is feeling better and good luck!
ReplyDeleteGlad he's sweating again! Yay!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the show!
Yayyyy! So glad sweat is back, I always worry about that, never had to deal with it either, but I can imagine the stress.
ReplyDeleteGlad his foot is feeling better too! Solo DID let me work him on his DDFT tear for at least a year & didn't tell me, that low foot stuff makes me so nervous because they just don't go "properly" lame the way we think they should. I haven't had a chance to write it up yet, but Echo is currently on pen rest for a fractured coffin bone that we didn't catch for probably at least 2 months -- no heat, no swelling, no obvious limping. It's all craziness.
