Hampton is still quite lame, shuffling around. I call my beloved farrier and send him the video.
Tuesday before Regionals
9 am: I bring Hampton in from the field, he is still lame. Beloved farrier says he will be there to check the foot around 11. I have to leave because of work.
11 a.m.: Farrier gets to barn, pulls Hampton out of a stall. He texts me "Fixed him." I am like what? Do not joke with me. Did you have to pull the shoe? Farrier says no, your horse is sound. Friend at the barn confirms the horse is sound - maybe 1/5 lame if you stare at him. I am astounded as just hours earlier he was VERY lame.
Wednesday before Regionals
I ride. Hampton feels sound! Feels pretty good!
Thursday
I ride. Hampton feels ... off. Not lame like before, but stiff and short in front. I re-start anxiety spiral. Hampton gets Legend and a full hour of Magnawave during which he appears to slip into a coma haha.

I throw the animal on the trailer.
Wait, the farrier didn't have to do anything??
