Still lame. Bugger. Late morning and already stinkin' hot when I finally took him out to check. Spent a good 30 minutes scrubbing off dried sweat from yesterday's scorcher (we could save it, use it for seasoning. The sweat dries in salty white granular patches that have to be scrubbed off with the curry comb and my fingernail). Underneath the grime and salt was my shiny horse). So took him out, did a few quick exercises then trotted him around. Bob bob bob went his head. Have to rethink things now. It's been nearly a month Guess it is going to take quite a bit more time. (Talked to a woman at a party recently, her horse has been out 5 months with a shoulder injury).

Don't want everything to come to a halt while he's lame. If it takes months for him to heal, we can work on ground work at the walk. We can try to improve our connection on a 12' and a 22' line. We can incorporate some of C. Resnick's work. We can do alot of grooming and grazing. We can keep going just at a slower pace.
