Intrestingly he came back dripping with sweat and it started almost immediately. That is a point of reference because it was still fairly cool for Florida in the early morn.
Irish eagle has been off with bucked shins and is doing a trail ride today. That should not hurt him and will help him keep some fitness.
Here is the way his shins look today after the light ride (walk trot two miles).
Here is what they looked like a few weeks back.
They do look better today.
It is cooler early this morn and we are giving Stack Bali a gallop to see how he is doing. (he is the non-sweater).
He trotted and galloped a total of two miles and breathed well and felt good. But...dry as a bone-no sweat breaking out. We hosed him much and put him under the fan. I am trying green papaya chopped up in his feed. At first he wouldn't eat it but now I pour molasses on it!
I showed this injury a while back on Stack. You can now see how the cornet band is growing out.
Here is another angle that shows the severe trauma to hoof wall.
He seems to be going soundly on it anyway...
