It even happens to the most experienced folks. I've owned, ridden and trained horses my whole life (lets just say for more than 30 years). I've managed a couple of pretty big show barns and I teach lessons. My mom is a horse vet and I have spent a good portion of time out on horse emergency calls with her and I can do a lot of my own vet work.<BR/><BR/>But I don't know that I would have noticed a developing abscess until my horse was going lame or the abscess broke through. Especially if your horses are living outside and it's muddy, it's hard to see something like that. I am the first to admit I don't pick my horse's hooves every day. I don't need to, they are barefoot and their feet are healthy. <BR/><BR/>Don't be so hard on yourself. No one knows everything and no one notices everything right away. That doesn't make them bad horse owners or idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-89792813764690581962009-03-19T06:36:00.000-05:002009-03-19T06:36:00.000-05:00Alls well that ends well.

Bet that's a relief.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping that Jaz heals up nicely in his new digs.<BR/><BR/>Lisa<BR/><BR/>word verification: haysterLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-39419382282320859442009-03-18T23:33:00.000-05:002009-03-18T23:33:00.000-05:00Gee-sounds like you had a year's worth of bad luck...Gee-sounds like you had a year's worth of bad luck in one weekend. Isn't that how it goes though-when things go wrong...they can just keep going wrong.<BR/><BR/>I don't involve My Honey in much of my horse stuff. He helps a little bit, if I ask, but I don't often ask, so if I had had the same weekend as you, he would have just nodded and accepted that I could handle it. Which to me, sounds like you handled everything fine!!<BR/><BR/>And now, you get to hang out at the barn and see new babies...win, win right?;)BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-65247490199038467972009-03-18T19:10:00.000-05:002009-03-18T19:10:00.000-05:00Mr. Fry apologized and has been a real sweetie, ju...Mr. Fry apologized and has been a real sweetie, just like he is 99% of the time. I think I reacted badly to it because it was out of character for him to be judgmental.<BR/><BR/>Truth be told, I can be a jerk myself sometimes ;-)Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-915785381094583992009-03-18T14:35:00.000-05:002009-03-18T14:35:00.000-05:00Like Cingspots says, abcesses are a real pain in t...Like Cingspots says, abcesses are a real pain in the you know what! I found out during Fritzy's abcess last June that she has really thin, weak soles so my vet recommended that I put her on a hoof supplement. She told me to use Nu Foot (Not Nu Hoof!). She has been on it for 9 months now. I don't know if there is much of a difference, it is hard to tell with all the mud and wet we have around here. Her abcess was caused by a stone bruise and since she has really flat feet I thought I would keep her shod all year, I use to pull her shoes in the winter since I don't ride much this time of year.<BR/>Sorry to hear your husband wasn't to nice about the whole thing. Men can also be a pain in the you know what!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-19195492015760325232009-03-18T13:42:00.000-05:002009-03-18T13:42:00.000-05:00Glad to hear Jaz is feeling better.

Abscesses are a major pain in the ass, but usually nothing more. And just think, what a great topic for your blog post. Lessons in life are always so damned entertaining, not to mention educational. :) You done real good Leah!!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-86068430248790662132009-03-18T12:11:00.000-05:002009-03-18T12:11:00.000-05:00Men!!

Like everyone else says, you just have to smile nod and try to change the subject. Lol. I hope Jaz is doing better. Putting weight on in it sounds good, at least you would think it doesn't hurt as much. And peace of mind is DEFINITELY worth a months board :)ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-7577305429034117752009-03-18T09:37:00.000-05:002009-03-18T09:37:00.000-05:00Sorry you had a crappy weekend - and yeah I am goi...Sorry you had a crappy weekend - and yeah I am going to have to agree with Alex and Funder, don't validate his "behavior" by reacting to it. <BR/><BR/>Seems harsh but I am done the same with my hubby and it seems to work, at first he want to pitch a bigger fit because I am not really reacting and then he just drops it and more I don't validate "horsey caused" moodiness the less it comes up. <BR/><BR/>Sorry you have to deal with along with everything else.
