Just arrived back from a clinic for four days. Because the horses had a round bale and the help only puts hay in the feeder tires...Vegas was a lot stiffer today that when I left. I went to push them around at a walk for about 20 minutes. He loosened right up and they all decided to go for run too. He looked good...and took the lead several times to the dismay of the rest of the herd who keep their position when being bag flagged. Beta tried to tell him several times to stay behind him, he's the leader in bag flag...he'll get it eventually.
Sprinkled hay all over the field again to get things moving and not 'stalled' haha.
Vegas is a bit of a 'pill' to the others and pins his ears at Jet and Rico when there is new food coming in...even if there is some left over. He feels the need to fight for it...although not as stong as he once was. He's cooling his engines a bit. :) (I think ;) It's only been 11 days.
He doesn't want to be touched. I respect that and stay away from him and just talk to him and walk and pet the others. He doesn't look our way at all still...and if he does it's with an 'evil' look in his eyes. He's probably still hungry in a sense.
One set of horses I had in for rehab...never looked up for weeks from the hay. His system is not feeling satisfied at this point.
I would susect as abscess brewing by the looks of his walk and his face. :(
Filled up the tires and went into the house because it was getting dark.
Daas and Vegas were up at the front with plenty of hay to eat....and as I was 1/2 way to the house when I heard a scuffle. I turned around to see Vegas (15hh) (glowing in the dark) rearing and wrapping his front legs around Daas neck (17.1+hh) and biting him in the neck. :-0
Daas seemed to throw his weight forward to get him off and then turned to kick him when he escaped his hold. He looked insulted and then moved to another place to eat...with a bit of a discussted look on his face.
Uh, perhaps he doesn't feel the peace yet.. haha. Mine, mine....MINE!! is still on his mind.
