Here's that "More" I mentioned
wheredahell has Claire been?!?
Jackson
And that’s where Claire’s been.
Jackson is our new “rescue horse.” He wasn’t intended to be a rescue, mind you, but he had “a little trim” on his feet the day before we met him. His personality was such, we grabbed him on the spot. Then he got more and more footsore—not less as would be expected. Or normal. Turns out some freakinmoronwhooughtabeshot trimmed his heels too low and it’ll take about a month til he grows out and is sound again.
Rly. It didn’t look that bad at the time—and I was really taken with his personality/temprament. And The Mister was really taken with his movement [and, yes, *bangs head on fence* his looks] that we took him home.
So we have a real nice pasture ornament for a while. He’s so responsive, I’m sure he’ll learn al sorts of silly tricks by the time he’s ridable again. He already learned to give back rubs [with his lip] from his pasture mate, Pushkin—who loooves a good backrub. And gives a good backrum—‘cept for that tendency toward an overenthusiastic nip now and again....
Wouldn’t a puppy have been more sensible?
