Hi Everyone,

Jester is doing pretty awesome! We went for our second trail ride on Saturday around the big pasture that has the trails in it. He gets pretty spooky in it, but it has a lot of hills that are perfect for building his muscles up again, so its really good for him.
His hooves are practically perfect again! He still needs to grow his heels out and has a little bit more work to do on his right front frog. He is almost sound again. He still limps a little at the trot, but his walk and cater are perfect:) He will be trimmed on Thursday by Jan.
His rain rot hasn't returned ever since we used the shampoo with 2% captan in it. I got it on Sunday since it will forever be my holy grail with his rain rot:) its called Paragaurd Shampoo by Priority Care. Its an anti-ringworm, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial therapeutic shampoo for dogs, cats, and horses. When I don't use that, I spray him with a Listerine mix.
That's pretty much it. If you have any questions, i would love to answer them:)
