It has been a long haul. Blu has been the best of boys while we have tried to figure out what was going on. The root cause seems to be Blu was shod poorly for a period of time and developed very sore feet and back. I think we are on the right track with therapeutic heart bar shoes, rest, shock wave for his back and Polyglycan. He is now ready to start back in light work after a week of light lunging. I sometimes think I still see/ feel something in his right front when going to the left but then it disappears. I see it from the ground on occasion but when he is under saddle I can not see it when we pass by in the mirror.
Blu is loving life on the farm. He has gained much weight and now needs to watch his intake. We have cut his grain way back and watch the amount of hay he has in his stall. He is a very happy boy despite his restricted diet.
I have had to travel quite a bit this month but my friends have been great about looking after him. My daughters even visited the Blu - ster and put a smile on his face with their attention! They also put a smile on my face by taking the time to visit!
I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. Dr. Liz comes back to visit this week so I can't wait to hear what she has to say. Go Blu Go!!!
