Nothing exciting happened last night. The other foal is off to the vet with mum for a couple of days, so Rory was on his own (with his mum). I was helping a friend set up a sales video of her pony so I just stopped by the barn to scratch Rory on my way past.
It ended up being a little grooming session. I picked out three of four feet. The other hind he was unsure about so I didn't have the spare hand to wield the pick as I was using it to steady him as we practised picking it up and putting it down. Then I got some zinc ointment for his bum. He shifted away at first, then stopped (presumably when I hit the itchy spot.
Then I got a tiny handful of developer pellets damp and put a tsp of cal-pi (calcium phosphorus balancer) on them in a bucket. There was more powder than could stick to the pellets, but Rory doesn't mind. He licks up all the powder, eats about half the pellets and licks the powder off the other half of the pellets.
