Glad to hear a positive report, Tuffy! I have been thinking of you guys all day.
BTW, if you feel like it, I am having a clinic at Legacy on March 4-5. I am bringing in my mentor for a classical dressage clinic and will be riding Henkell. Come on over and audit if you want to. You will learn really great stuff just by watching and listening to him. He trained for 7 years at a place called Neindorff in Germany which teaches the same stuff as the Spanish Riding School, and he trains regularly now with a former chief rider from the Spanish Riding School. He really knows his stuff, and has lots of goodies that are not written down in books anywhere but are passed on as oral tradition.
I would like very much to come out there. Let me see what I can work out. And thanks for the invite.
Got a call from the vet this morning, Tuffy is improving. I think it might have been those shoes aggravating whatever is going on. He said Tuffy is much happier, doesn't have that dull look anymore. Thank God for that.
I joined a hoofcare chat site and it's really interesting. http://www.horseshoes.com
I joined as Tuffydoodle. Lots and lots of good information, from Certified Journeyman Farriers.
