Some good, some bad...

Spent the day at the vet.clinic today. Had to haul our little yearling filly, Kick the Cat. I mentioned before she got hurt but nothing showed on the x-rays. 2,5 hour drive to the clinic, first time hauling. A little pawing at the start but she stood quiet and patient for the most part. The vets think they found something on one of the ligaments suporting the pastern during the ultrasound check. Trauma there as well as a general swelling and fluid in the joint. Nothing wrong with tendons though, but this thing could take up to a year or more with no guarantees of full recovery.

She was starting to look really good too...

On the good side, I worked Brady some again today and he just picked up where we left off the other day. Great in the cowwork, both herdwork and down the fence. Really starting to rate well for my roping too. Was a bit confusing for him when we started out awhile back, not knowing if he was supposed to work the one we were setting up to rope or let him break off. He´s got an excellent handle and is really easy to possition and move around. No problem with pulling and dragging neither, just lowers his butt and diggs in. Good things accomplished today!
