For the Heck of It

Much Better

Today was farrier day.  His hooves were messed up all the way around.  the inside of his hooves were longer than the outside of his hooves.  So it would be like us walkin on our arches as opposed to flat.  Not only that but the degrees were wrong all the way around too.  The degree of the angle of the hoof is supposed to be between 50 and 55 degrees and all four are supposed to be the same degree.  Well his front left was 49, his rear left was 54, his rear right was 56, and his front right was 51.  It was crazy.  So not only was it like he was walkin on his arches but it was like he was walkin in one sneaker and three different size high heels.  So the farrier pulled the shoes and fixed his hooves.  Remmi is sore but thats to be expected.  Here are a few pics from today.

So Cute!

Christina and Jim discussin the issues

Awesome! *Pic Heavy*

I went out to Christina's place today to watch her train Remmi.  Well it was mostly me ridin him and her trainin me to train him.  It went really good!  He is learnin to move off your leg, and is really startin to carry himself right, and he is sooo light on the bit!  Christina did get on him for a bit and worked more on his headset and took him over a little crossrail just for the hell of it!  He looked so cute goin over them!  Anyway here are a bunch of pictures!

A Visit from the Vet

Don't worry it wasn't anythin major!  Remmi just needed his strangles vaccination.  I did notice however that he has a patch of hair missin from his back.  It as will is just a superficial wound but I blame Czar, Christina's Oldenburg, Lol!  Not sure if it was him or not but I do know that he is that alpha in the herd.  It's not a big deal though.  Just a little lost hair, it will grow back.  He did really good for the vet though.  AND he actually walked up to me in the pasture.  I think he is startin to learn who I am.  It was really nice to see him do that and yes, he got a treat.  Lol!  Anyway I'm goin out to Christina's tomorrow so hopefully I will get to see her work with him.  I will try to get pictures.  :)

"Go"

So as of Thursday last week Remmington has been in professional trainin with Christina.  I haven't been able to watch his trainin sessions yet but she says he is doin real good and is a fast learner.  He is already learnin to come onto the bit in just a couple of rides!  Hopefully he continues to learn fast and maybe Christina will have him started on jumpin when his thirty days are up.  I'm so excited!  I can't wait to see what he turns into!
