Left early today looking forward to a trip down the road to Steven's Creek Farm to ride in their lovely coverall arena. It is about 3/4 of a mile from the farm, making for a perfect warm-up and cool-down.
Went to get Luba out of the paddock and noticed her left hind fetlock looked puffy. Sure enough, some heat as well. Found a small cut (about 2 inches long) high up on the outside of her cannon bone that is probably the culprit. A bang and a cut? It was scabbed over, so at least a couple days old.
She does not seem lame, so hopefully looking better tomorrow.
Buffed up her feet, fed her, and kissed her on the nose.
The upside is that I think she has put on some weight! Will check with the weight tape and photographic evidence tomorrow.
The lesson for today is plan plan plan and then be prepared to change you plans at the last minute. Yogi Bhajan (I think) as told to me by Sylvie Gouin.
Namaste Nancy
