The Perpetually In Motion Horse

On a single evening #148 managed to cover himself with mud so deep and congealed into his thick winter coat that he's covered with little rocks.  Call his coat gravelly--big gravels, and I have the abdominal scrapes I got on rubbing against them on the dismount to prove it.  Unable to remove because there's so many and so deep into the coat.

No other horse is covered with gravels, of course.  Also this evening #148 cut himself on his hind drawing blood and got kicked in the snozz with a glancing blow by another horse.  Almost got his front legs caught on top of a fence fighting with a filly on the other side.  Tall fence, tall horse.  The daily adventures of this entertaining animal. Will he live to see his first race?

Accuweather corrected their forecast. Forget predicted January temps in the 40s. More Polar Vortex blowing  in next week as predicted on this very blog couple posts or so ago.  Missed my calling of weatherperson in that I seem to always call these events before Accuweather does.

In contrast, nice weather in England on this interesting blog that I've run into:

The ground remains muddy although we might be able to commence running tomorrow.  Very little serious training so far this year due to weather.  I've been on both horses at the walk the last three days in the mud for purpose of calming them down.  #148 heel bulb injury is barking at me that if I'd leave it alone for a couple of weeks it will heal.  Might do that,  even though the horse needs to do some running.
