Dreaming.In.Reality

went to see Flame last night, and he’s pulled a shoe. M found it this afternoon in his paddock. The shoes can most likely be reset one more time and then it’s time for new ones. Because of all the rain we had in the past month from Frances and other inclement weather, the barn paddocks had been pretty mucky, so Flame’s feet are looking a bit skeezy but not overly much. Clean them out with an antiseptic wash, then spritz them down with gentle iodine. It’ll clear up fast. Kev went with this morning to help with Flame. I had him left in so that I could tend to him this morning and of course because EVERYONE ELSE was outside, and he wasn’t, the world was freaking ending. So he was Mr. Spazzass for 98% of the time we were there. There was a 5 minute moment where he stood still, but looked around paranoid like, while I talked with L about the water at the barn and the flooding that had happened from Frances.

After treating the feet, I threw him outside in his paddock. Everyone else was in for their noon time snack, I told M to just leave him out there because he was ready to implode. So he spent a good solid 5 minutes running around his paddock like a complete idiot screaming his head off because he was out alone. M asked if she should bring Tim out because he was done eating, and I said when you normally bring him out. Flame was just having a temper tantrum and he’d deal well enough with some time out by himself. He needs to figure out that he can be alone, but not be alone.

Kev took some photos of us while we were out. I took a few of Flame’s girlfriend Twist, the paddock, and the outdoor arena. We’re supposed to have some good weather this week, so I think it will be time to introduce Flame to another scary part of the barn -makes spooky ghost noises-.
