A short break

Tim got his hocks injected yesterday and is enjoying a well deserved break. New barn = new vet, and he really liked Tim, despite the fact that he was a lazy butt and tried to convince us he couldn't possibly jog for 15 or so feet. Mental note: work on jogging in hand. I eventually had to put on my mean girl pants and growl at him to get him to move.

The new vet was slightly concerned with Tim's LF, where he tore his check last year =/ He said that maybe the slight fill is normal for Timmers, since he's never seen him before, or maybe it has something to do with competing over the weekend. Regardless, I refuse to let him re-injure that leg and am going to start icing and poulticing after every.single.ride. I have the all-clear to ride tomorrow afternoon, so fingers crossed that the injections make timberly feel like a spritely young man again! I'll leave you with some videos from my last XC school before the show:






^^^^ TRAINING HEIGHT :D

  1. FWIW- I used to cold hose and use straight Sore-No-More on Candy's hind legs after every ride. Seemed to work! Sore-No-More gel= magic.

    Tim's so cute!

    1. Oooo thanks! I might try that. Luckily, I don't have to wrap... just slap some poultice on his legs
