Turned him out in the arena while I re-cleaned his stall. Got him and walked him around for a bit. Then I thought "Heyy, he hasn't seen daylight for about a month now, lets go eat some grass" So that is what we did and man was he happy!! So happy that he forgot he had a sore foot and wasn't limping ( LOL... horses...), he also got spooked a few times and cantered a circle around me........seriously putting weight on the injured foot? Not so injured hmmm..
Well anyway, I didn't have a chain on his nose and I didn't want to be caught in anything stupid he may do, so we went back to the barn. As soon as we left his precious grass he suddenly remembered that he has an injured foot and started limping... LOL oh boy..
I cleaned the boy up, soaked and re-wrapped his foot. I saw the barn owner today and she suggested to put him on a hoof supplement (farriers formula), before I even said okay she said she will go pick some up today and that it is on her. Woah. So thankful for that :-D.
As I was went to go put Apollo in his stall, his girlfriend ( the mare in the stall next to him ) nickered to greet him. That mare is so in love with him, and he barely pays any attention to her ( he's in love with this chestnut mare who actually doesn't pay any attention to him loool) Anyway, I am in love with his neighbour ( the mare who is in love with Apollo). She such a sweet mare, gorgeous colour and prefect height for me (she's at least 17hh) honestly, I would buy her if I had the money and IF she was for sale, I doubt I will ever see her on the market though. Oh well..
Whenever I go to Apollo's stall and give him a treat, I always give her one too. I managed to snap a picture of her, not a very good one (this was taken with my phone) but I will get a better one next time.
Honestly, can I PLEASE just have her ???? LOL. She would go so well with Apollo, dark bay almost black gelding and white mare!!! Is there a better combo out there than that?! Plus they actually like each other too, well she's IN LOVE and he just doesn't mind her LOL.
Oh well, I'll find my white/grey mare one day
I've always wanted a horse, but they're expensive, you're lucky!
ReplyDeleteHahah, a horse love triangle.
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight.
ReplyDeleteYou love the mare, the mare loves Apollo, Apollo loves you.
She is a hottie though, i cant imagine what he doesnt see in her.
Too bad lmao.
Who knows maybe your boyfriend will buy himself a white/grey on then you can just ride his haha.
KC
What a nice animal. Steal it!
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe the lack of limping at first was cos of the adrenaline of being back outside, you know, it makes you forget pain.
I virtually pet your horse.
ReplyDeleteWell I virtually give your horse a carrot!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful

ReplyDeleteI miss horse riding... did it when I was very young, until a black stallion bit me, then got "excited" and started to make eyes at me.
