Banjo is lame

Heather called me today. After an 18 mile trail ride a few days ago, Banjo won't move. The vet came out and says he has thin hoof walls on his rear feet and they just got worn down too far. Bute should be all he needs with a couple of weeks rest. We should still be able to get him tomorrow.

Here's her take after 4 weeks of training: Banjo is fearless. He doesn't spook and will go anywhere. He has a lot of energy, and could be a great endurance horse. Sparkler will kick out when you leave the barn. She doesn't want to go, but once you get past that, she is great. She does spook at small things, but it's just a spook in place kind of thing and she should be great with more experience.
