Hi Heidi
Yes actually I used to give Hal a little extra but no need anymore. Hal
had an injury to his leg and until we can have Charlie Boles fuse the
joint we have to keep his weight down and keep him confined. I doubt he
is much over 1000 pounds now I am sad to say. We are waiting until Hal
either becomes resigned to his lack of activity and will accept a cast
or Charlie tells me we will have to collect the heck out of him and then
freeze it and geld him . Stallions usually do not do well with casts and
I am attempting to give the boy a chance to save his huevos. He still
looks beautiful. He simply has no muscling anymore and we have to watch
his weight until surgery.
He was in the arena one day playing and bucked high in the air and came
down badly. He tore the ligament which stabilized the bones in the
fetlock on the outside left. Although it has grown back (with a little
calcification) the movement in there caused his disk to wear down and he
has bone on bone. That is what kept him from the Olympics.Any
suggestions?
