She got crazy zoomies after her bath, rolled in the dirt, and ran around the round pen for a few minutes before she wore herself out. She had a great time and lots of people really liked seeing her enjoying herself like that lol. This pic was taken a few hours later after she dried completely and I did her braids and brushed her.
She got really spicy when I tried to clean one of her back hooves and almost kicked me in the head. I gave her a lil smack on the butt (not hard at all) and yelled at her and she stopped misbehaving and let me clean her hoof. I think she might have a little bit of arthritis in that leg and that’s what had her so uncomfortable until I was able to get her foot held and supported properly. If she continues to show that discomfort, I’ll get some horse arthritis gel to try out.
I do my very best. Nobody else does anything with her except an old guy who just puts her out to pasture for a bit when he’s there to see his horses. I appreciate him letting her out when he does. I can’t go out every day, but between the two of us, Sandy gets to leave her stall for a bit almost every day, weather permitting. That alone is so important to her well-being.
