Thrush and Hoof Pics!

Edit: I think the comment issue is probably fixed. Hopefully.  -_-

Thrush. Screw Thrush... Most horses have thrush even if you don't know. If the frogs aren't glorious. If the heels aren't epic. Basically if you or your farrier is competent and your horses feet aren't amazing(barring like navicuar, laminitis[Probably extra thrush in that case], or other serious hoof malfunctions) you probably have some level of thrush. No matter how minute the infection, it's still there lurking. In the alleys. With the candy and the van. It's there. It's waiting.  I have been in a losing battle with this predator thrush for longer than I care to admit.

My Apologies

I was unaware that I was participating in internet share cropping. Thanks Google Plus. So basically I am trying to figure out how to extract myself from this mess without losing my blog, pictures, email, and everything else. I retracted the last hoof post because I wanted to get comments fixed first. We did test and it will allow anonymous comments but is fighting anything else. 

Catch Up!

 So I need to do a little catch up I suppose. No there aren't pictures. I was mostly concerned with not dying... No seriously I am horrible about photo documenting anything. I have plans to take some pics tomorrow. Now for the happenings of the last few days. I would also like to point out that it has apparently been over a year and a half since I've had a saddle on Rev according to The Husband and he is right...

So They Say...

They say what you are doing on New Year's is what you will do for the rest of the year. Uh oh... You see I had big plans. The Husband and I were both going to ride on New Year's. We both wanted to start off right and we both want to ride more this year. The weather disagreed. It was cold and raining sideways and all the horses were interested in was warm mash, blankets, and dry hay. I couldn't deny them that and to take off blankets and let them get wet would have been quite miserable for them. The way our weather works here is a recipe for colic anyhow and I just don't think there is a need for me to add to the temperature fluctuations.

Helmets to wear or not to wear? What a question...

I will admit that maybe I haven't been super diligent at helmet wearing. Maybe I haven't worn one in years. I won't say. The truth of the matter is I've had quite a few rough falls in my life and was never scared into wearing a helmet. It's not even for my hairdo. I usually wear a hat. I just find them irritating. They are hot. They are sweaty. They fit my head weird or more likely I just have a weird head. I just don't like them. I own one but I've only worn it in a few English shows on client horses and never at any western event.
