Well, I do my best! Unfortunately Dusty is a little lame today. It looks like the bottoms of her hooves (especially the right one) are a little tender. I've got a x-country event coming up Saturday so I'm hoping I can get them feeling better before then. We've had so much rain this year our ground is soft and her hooves hasn't formed as big of calluses as usual. Looks like I'll be soaking her feet in hot water and epsom salts for the next few days and riding in hoof boots. She's not very lame so I think a bit of light riding will do her good as long as I use the boots.
