update

Been super busy with school again. Only a few more weeks to go but that includes a test, two finals and a few smaller assignments and presentations. And then get to go home for summer. Haven't had much horse time but did get down there after clinical on Tuesday and had a great ride and trimmed his front feet. He was really good for me riding and we did a short "trail ride" out to the back of the property. Everything is getting super green and Banico's weight is getting much better. We didn't do to much but he was so good. Apparently he is taking his fly mask off every time he goes out in pasture. I would just give up for the barn owners sake but he gets weepy eyes from the flies.

Just for fun

Spring Break

I had a good spring break. My boyfriend came here to visit and it was his first time in KY. We went to the horse park two days and walked the cross country course one day and walked through the museum and saw the attractions the second day. Also went on a farm tour which was fun. 

Pictures are from boyfriend and barn owners facebook. Not in order. 

 Banico is doing really well and is completly sound. The bump is still there but it isn't painful so just leaving it. Have had some good rides and his weight is picking up nicely now that it is spring.

Bored horse

     Today Banico told me very clearly that he didn't what to be stuck inside with his leg wrapped. He actually trotted away from me when I went out to catch him. I didn't blame him because it was a beautiful day outside.  I did catch him and first washed his legs and tail and then got on for a bit. He just has a hint of being off on that leg. We had a good ride and he actually seemed to enjoy getting out to do something. He felt quite forward for the first part of the ride but his left lead canter still feels a bit off. The barn owner was out riding at the same time so we had a good conversation while we were riding. I trimmed his back feet and then we decided it was to nice to keep him inside. We will see how he is tomorrow with the exercise and being unwrapped.   

Mouthy boy

Banico is doing much better today. Was wrapped until this morning and the lump went down a bunch and he is much sounder. The barn owner was going to leave him in but apparently tried to tear the stall door down so she tossed him back out. I trotted him a short bit on the lunge and he looked much better. He was very wiggly when I went to rewrap him but it got done. The barn owner is going to try to leave him in with the wrap on tomorrow and then put him back out tomorrow night and then rewrap on Tuesday. He is fine inside when all his buddys are in but when they get put out and he doesn't he throws a fit. He has always been an opinionated horse.
