The vet told me that I could give Racer a reprieve from imprisonment and let him out of the stall half days. (It was 106 degrees yesterday, and even his run-in stall turned into a sauna.
So this morning, I let him out his stall and into the pasture where there is not a lot of anything growing at the moment. He starts running the dumb horse! It wasn't a good run, sort of a stumble, lumbering, awkward gait, and I am shouting commands at him to halt, whoa, hold and still he runs........sigh........For a horse that can't walk very well, why run? I captured him and put him back in confinement for that stunt. Next time, I won't open up the pasture area and he can have the paddock which is long and wide but not a lot of running room- to many corners.
