Switch not any better

Another usual am with coffee, marketing (me) and online perusing (S). He did head out and try lifting a bale with the new skid steer and putting on the second slow feeder net before the ground warmed up an more as it was now plus 1. I wrote a tutorial for the latest growth ruler. I also worked on creating fresh pins for my Pinterest page. The tin tiles got a coat of black paint finishing up all 5 before coming in for lunch.

The weather turned yucky starting to rain and blustery winds which I hope turns around as I have an appointment at 5:30 for chiro to see Switch who is worse today. Rain stopped soon but overcast dreary ugly continued . S went to hook up trailer for me while I painted the tiles a coat of white then inside to big brown. Shaina came and helped me fold the freshly laundered horse fly sheets.

I rousted Sheldon from the couch to help me put the new hardboard back on the dresser. It seems I did not measure correctly so it was a 1/2" narrow, bugger but we made it work. Once it was back on the movers he headed back to the couch and I stained the top white.

I ventured outdoors after 4 to move Roo in with the other 2 and close them in for easy catching. It was actually not bad out now plus 5 so I scooped dog poop and searched for the missing blue ball. S eventually came out to help look around and from the deck I spied it out in the east field. I got the trailer ready opening windows then caught the 3 horses to take to Murray the chiro for 5:30. Poor Switch needs this and the other 2 are for checks. S drove after loading Harley in her back seat. Switch was all kinds of out but Murray does agree she most likely has something going on in her lower leg most likely an abscess but recommended exercise to help work it out now she was adjusted. Bird was fine and Roo had a few tweaks. I loaded them back up and after a short visit we were on our way back home by 6:30.

This is a thermal camera image of a horse with a huge abscess. He will have his camera back next week if her lameness continues

I removed the poultice boot and opened the two gates and moved the other 2 horses in to that side to clean up the hay remaining. S had headed in to warm his cold feet. Harley was fed her supper before I came in to start cooking supper.

Britt arrived after 7 bringing me a super near bread box a fellow at the track gave her. I think I might keep it ;) She fed Bird and was in just as I was finishing up cooking supper to join us for a tasty meal. She was off for home soon after we were done taking her gingersnap dessert along for the ride. S was back to skid steer research and I catching up the blog. Shaina was home after 9:30 as I was crawling into bed to finish The Queen's Gambit. I then started My Next Guest with David Letterman.
