Jester at DT barn getting groomed

Friday, May 7, 2010

Hi everyone,
Jester is getting settled in well. He now has a stall with a window (he's very happy) and spends most of his stall time chewing on his Uncle Jimmy's Hangin ball (a big treat in the form of a ball that hangs from a hook). I will be getting him feed on Saturday. He is up to a scoop of feed with 1 ounce of vegetable oil and 1 ounce of a high fat supplement (40%) every feeding. I'm so happy he has his appetite back! His limp has gotten significantly better. He still has a little trouble turning and coming out of his stall, but he is walking much better. So that and the fact that his appetite has returned has told me that his white line is healing, although it dosent look like it. The farrier will be out tuesday to trim one of the horses, I don't know for sure if she's trimming others, but hopefully she can trim Jester and I can finally get him sized for boots. Overall, Jester is staying pretty clean. He has some spots of dirt and such on him, but he is staying pretty clean. His coat has a shine and is smooth and silky (all thanks to the fasttrack!). Let me know if you have any questions!
