Buddy

Hey Y'all,

I saw Buddy on Saturday and he is doing well. When i went out to get him, he saw me and came walking up. I was shocked to see half of his face covered in flies! It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. He didn't have any cuts on him, they just liked him for some reason. So i brought him in (he has settled down nicely) and groomed him and gave him his grain. I probably sprayed half a bottle of fly spray on him! His hooves are looking really nice and healthy. The only problem is a crack on his back right hoof that has been there for like five years. I didn't do any groundwork since it was 95 degrees out and there was no shade. He's looking really healthy. Part if his mane that was at his Crest always stuck up (as you can see in the pictures) but with his healthy diet it is going down and is extremely soft and silky. So he's doing well. I'll try to put pictures up of him at the farm he's currently at.

Changes

Hey Y'all,

So much has happened in the last year. I ended up moving Buddy to a place Mrs. Cheryl was leasing called Ducktown. It's a run down place, but the back pasture is amazing. It was probably 10-15 acres with grass up to your knees. The pasture had a huge (almost vertical) hill the horses had to walk up when they where turned out so he built up a lot of muscle. He has lost a lot of weight and the vet was extremely happy. She said he looked great and his hooves looked amazing. I actually had to switch farriers. The one that was trimming him was actually doing a lot of harm, but the new farriers is doing a fantastic job. Unfortunately Mrs. Cheryl stopped the lease and moved him to one of her different properties. It's 60 acres and he is now out 24/7. It has a catch pen so I've been able to continue working on his parelli with him. He's doing a great job. No one is out at the 60 acres to take care of the horses so he only gets the grain when i come. His coat looks incredible with the natural diet of just grass. I'll keep y'all posted on any changes. I should be out tomorrow and Saturday so I'll update sometime this or next week.
