That is was my farrier calls Jazzy - puss footed. It means that she had thin tender soles and she gimps around like she's had nails driven through the bottom of her feet.
Friday morning, Jazzy could barely walk. He had to trim her on the mats because she was so sore, she wouldn't lift her foot while standing on the gravel.
The farrier thought that she looked like she was foundered or had something very serious going on.
He put shoes on her, we gave her some bute, and he told me "No guarantee this will help."
Today, she and Bullwinkle were running and bucking on the pasture.
I have two reactions. The first one is OH THANK GOD she's such a baby and there isn't something crazy going on. I don't think I could handle losing two in such a short amount of time.
The second one is ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SUCH A BABY THAT WALKING BAREFOOT ON SAND AND GRASS MAKES YOU SO LAME YOU CAN BARELY WALK???!!! REALLY!!!
The answer to the second reaction is "YES". Yes she is that big of a baby. Really.
Stupid horse.
