Hey Y'all,

Buddy is doing well at his new home. I got him out and took him to the arena and played a couple of the seven games with him. Then i got up on him and just walked him. He did really well considering i haven't been on him for like ever. i just rode him around the arena a couple of times and that was it. I took him to the round pen and did some round penning work with him. He really had no idea how to stop so I'm gonna take him down to the round pen a lot and work with him on it. I also gave him a bath, he really enjoyed it. Then i treated his hooves with ToDay mastitis, it's for lactating cows, but it works wonders for thrush deep in the central sulcus. Two of his hooves have it (both right) so i have put it in a couple times and the frogs are already starting to open up and grow back from the inside out. I put apple cider vinegar on the outside of his hooves to help with the cracks and to protect them. The farrier will be out in about two weeks.

Hey Y'all,

Buddy is at his new home:)! He's very happy to see some of his friends from ducktown. The pastures are amazing and he loves it. I moved him last Friday and he was so calm. I gave him a bath (something i have wanted to do for awhile). Then on Saturday i groomed him and did some groundwork, he did really well and was completely relaxed (last time we moved him he went wild horse on me) I'm gonna see him a couple times this week and let y'all know how he's doing.
