| Totyo and Rory |
It's been a very wet spring, but after some dry days and the strong wind the barn owner decided it was dry enough to set up the temporary grass paddock. Rory's group got to go out for half an hour this morning. I love pictures of horses against the green and took a bunch.
Rory was keen to graze, but he was also curious about the new view. He grabbed a mouthful of grass, looked around as he chewed, then went for another mouthful.
Before the vet arrived I managed to give Rory a good grooming and pull his mane. I thought it was a bit too thin when I was finished, but a quick test braid showed it was about right. I'm just not used to his mane being so thin. The new washrack was almost done, and Rory got to be the first horse to use it. I had to scrub his heel where he'd caught himself on something. He wiggled a bit while I was getting the hose, but stood nicely while I scrubbed and rinsed. There was also a touch of mud fever on his white heels and I scrubbed those scabs clean and put some zinc ointment on them.
