What a day I had! So, I woke up this morning and looked out the window at Tanka's barn. He is laying down in it. Tanka hardly goes in the barn, much less lay down in it!
Turns out something is wrong with him. We call our horse doctor. She's busy, and says this other doctor will do something. That other doctor never calls. But we do get a call from a horse doctor at the vet, he says it's either laminitis or founder, apparently the result of too much alfalfa hay. (Alfalfa hay is high in protein.) The farrier comes over to check his feet, and says there's nothing wrong with his feet. We don't really know what he has! His rump is really hard, though. .....
