Training:
Fri. 3/6 The big news tonight is that enough of Art's injured frog has been pared away to uncover a nasty small puncture that goes below the tissue of the frog near the apex. Galloping, unfortunately, is opening this up and preventing healing. Looks as if we'll have to quit now with him for 1 to 2 weeks to allow healing, although Art worked riderless tonight with hoof in vetwrap. We aborted when he started limping, and the extent of the laceration was discovered after this work. Rod galloped 2 x2 trotting back to the starting point. About a mile total. Then both horses did a riderless 1.5 miles with a lot of spurting.
