Before & after iced tea 🧋 Scottie was convinced he wanted some of my iced tea this afternoon. Maybe it was the wrong flavour... 🤣 #exracehorse #thoroughbred #exracehorsesofinstagram #thoroughbredsofinstagram #ottb #ottbsofinstagram #chestnuthorse #chestnutgelding #chestnutthoroughbred #racehorseretraining #horsesofinstagram

Jojo & her shadow! Scottie and Jo seem to be enjoying back out together. Every time I go past the field they are close together, Scottie usually just behind Jo. #exracehorse #thoroughbred #exracehorsesofinstagram #thoroughbredsofinstagram #ottb #ottbsofinstagram #chestnuthorse #chestnutgelding #chestnutthoroughbred #racehorseretraining #horsesofinstagram

Happy ponies in the afternoon sun 🌞 🐎 Scott

Happy ponies in the afternoon sun 🌞 🐎 Scottie and Jo are back out together in the spare field. This is partly to give our fields a rest and partly to prepare for next year as Jo is expecting and Scottie will be on Uncle duties! ❤ #exracehorse #thoroughbred #exracehorsesofinstagram #thoroughbredsofinstagram #ottb #ottbsofinstagram #chestnuthorse #chestnutgelding #chestnutthoroughbred #racehorseretraining #horsesofinstagram

I've never been so relieved to see this! Scottie

I've never been so relieved to see this! Scottie isn't a wimp. It's very rare he is lame, even with quite nasty looking wounds. So when he is lame I need to take it seriously. Yesterday as soon as I started walking him in from the field I knew something was wrong. He was so head noddy and obviously quite uncomfortable. There were no obvious wounds and while he isn't usually foot sore when losing a shoe, I could see his shoes under his overreach boots. I quickly picked all his feet up and at a quick glance everything looked OK. So I immediately thought tendon. I felt every inch of his legs. Convinced myself there was a tiny bit of heat in the left leg but not really any swelling. I decided to treat as a tendon, cold hose and rest. Just before I started, I took his overreach boots off and finally noticed this stray nail on the inside what had been hidden by his boot. On a closer look I saw the missing nails and picking the foot up again I saw that the shoe was a little bit bent. He has obviously half pulled his shoe off and probably bruised his foot. Farrier is back up soon to take his shoe off and put it back on. The shoe is still firmly in place and he didn't look sore this morning so I don't think he has got anything stuck under his pad. So I think we have got away with it. But I had a very stressful 20mins or so trying to work out why my Hardy horse was so lame! 🙈🤣 #exracehorse #thoroughbred #exracehorsesofinstagram #thoroughbredsofinstagram #ottb #ottbsofinstagram #chestnuthorse #chestnutgelding #chestnutthoroughbred #racehorseretraining #horsesofinstagram
