Horse Spa

Well today since I knew I wouldn't be riding, Lara went out with me to the barn and Sinwaan had a day of beauty at the "horse spa." (grin) We went out to bring him from the back pasture (as far as he could possibly be) and checked out his shoulder right away. It felt quite a bit better today and I was relieved to see some progress in the right direction. However, I do want to give him more time to heal completely before riding him again, so he will get this Sunday off also. Then I plan to start back out on the trails on Wednesday.

We gave him a thorough grooming with the shedding blade and stiff brush on his body, and lots of detangler and brushing of his mane and tail.

Lara brought out her clippers and we also clipped his bridle-path, taking it back another inch as well. At first he did not want to go near the clippers but after giving him a moment he mellowed out and then stood really well for the whole process.

When we were all done he looked so pretty and so much more like an Arabian :)

After that Dale showed us the video of Sinwaan charging at the Morgans, his collision and his fall. It was really something to see and there is no question about where his injury came from!
