SUNNY and MILD....900 comes up slightly lame behind....

It was a beautiful day and on a good note ALL the horses came in for breakfast in the morning...I gave him a thorough brushing and cleaning of feet, more touching on the private and soft parts...gum, ears etc...and then it was time for some longlining....where he showed some lameness on the left hind. I picked up he foot and examined it for foreign bodies, but felt that the source was up higher in his pelvis or hip. There is no swelling, or bite or kickmarks, no indication of a pulled muscle...but he is off...
So I massaged him some and worked on the diagonal side and then let the two boys be. Aragon and 900 will stay in the corral tonight and tomorrow I will administer some bute, if he has not improved.
