Nearly a week has passed

Getting into the Routine

Last night I went down the fields and cut a huge wheelbarrow full of long grass dandelions and thistle tips for Charlie he was ecstatic.

 I know how much horses like a routine and it does seem to be working.

 Walk in the morning and give him a little grass graze while its quiet.
Pop him in the loverly Harriet Burrow stable while I muck out
Afternoons back into Harriets stable for evening beds and then go and collect loads of grass.

I have given up on the soaked hay he isnt impressed and its doing my back in  and as its a nicety not a necessity we will forego it.

He is having just a couple of handfuls of Saracen Shapeup and a bit of Hi-Fi lite with carrots apples and some Global Herbs Boxrest all damped down he seems to love this.

It was evident this morning that he had a good night as there was a very tidy row of horsepoo along the back of his stable and Jan and Dave Holpin said he didnt call out when they turned his neigh bour out this morning.

Dressing Change Thursday

Today it was time to change the dressing on his back and I finally got around to reading the box..hysterically the brand name is SNOGG.

It was actually a piece of cake not quite as tidy a job as the vet did just a piece of Gauze stuck to the SNOGG plast and pop in place. Its very sticky and the hardest part was taking the old piece off.

And hooray very clean underneath you can hardly see the incision.
