My Wimpy Horse

Went to check on the boy yesterday. My new farrier said to get some puzzle mat foam so I can tape it under the injured foot which it would make it easier for him to walk especially on hard surfaces.
He was in his stall waiting for me, and it was so sad to see him walk ( i literally wanted to cry ) he was limping so badly. I just have to keep reminding myself though, that my horse is the wimpiest horse I have EVER met. lol seriously, even when he has little pain he acts like he is about to die, his head is down, eyes are slightly open and he doesn't move. LOL he just has a very low threshold. But once I wrapped up the foam to his hoof, he walked a bit better.
It was such a nice day yesterday and today, I would of loved to of tacked him up and just go on a trail ride. I hope I don't have to wait to long!!! Really riding from 3 times a week to none now, it's so odd..... haha. This is why I need a second horse ( hmmmm.. maybe for my 2nd anniversary LOL ) to keep me in shape.Hopefully in a month I can start doing some light riding and slowly getting him back into training and jumping :-D.
