After OBS- Spitfire's Nose

June 11th, 2009:



Spitfire's nose-remember he had a little mucus yesterday when we went to OBS. I told rider not to push if he felt bad. Horse went on track and tried to run away with him -he had not gone to track last week because of mucus . So he was very much on the muscle this week. We got a lot done with gate work and gallop. This AM he had a little crusty mucus. Seems bright and good and ate well .
Irish also had more mucus than Spitfire yesterday and got the cold a few days behind him. So he was a little runnier in the nose today.
The filly has yet to show any sign of anything...maybe she has a better immuno system or maybe because she went through a sale she already went through the baby "snots".
I have not given any medications and of they heal uneventfully I will look like a smart person and if they get worse I will be blamed.
All we can do is what we think is okay at that moment.
Hindsight is 20-20!
