Margo, even down here in the southern part of the state they are late shedding.
I am still pulling off hair from some of the minis and mules.
It has been the strangest spring, but today it is supposed to get to 100 (but
it's a dry heat) lol
I drove out my pony mules this morning, and for the third drive in a row,
Chester stumbled almost to his knees on perfectly smooth dirt road, and I
couldn't see any reason for the stumble. He's not ever done this before. I
don't know if it is just being lazy, or if there is something wrong that I
can't see. It happens in a second, then he is up again, but it is enough to
get my heartrate up! I know if I were riding a horse that stumbled from not
picking up his feet, I would scold him and give him a kick in the side, but I
am not sure what to do about Chester. His team-mate, Abbie, is the zoom-zoom
one of the team, and if I use a whip on Chester to get him going, Abbie is the
one who reacts. I spend most of the drive trying to slow Abbie down and get
Chester to at least stay up with her, if not actually help. It doesn't help
that she has a fast walk, and he sometimes has to trot to keep up, and then she
keys off of his trot, and breaks into one herself. Anyone have any
suggestions?
