September 5, 2011 - Status check

I brought Rory in to check him after the show yesterday.  I was a bit concerned about the short step on the right hind.  He was a bit muddy so I groomed first and put his boots on.  We went out to the arena and had a quick semi longe to check stride at the walk and trot.  Rory was quite willing to march forward and trot, though most of his attention was on what he could see out the doors.  He gave me just enough to do what I asked.  Fortunately he looked fine.
