Steady as she goes. Having a great winter

Rolling happily in the mud, bucking in delight, begging for scratches on his favorite spots, and hanging out with my mares... All in a day in the life of Jester. He has filled out even more, he's actually round over the top of his back! Nice bareback ride now :O) Hoof wise, he can handle going out without boots, just sensitive over gravel. Ordinary one or two hour jaunts down along the canal are no problem. Winter is good to him, I haven't changed anything in his routine... he still lives turned out all the time, sometimes with the girls. He feels so good some days that he's sassy! Not so fast mister!!! Hoofs are about the same, still one higher heel on the right fore, lower on the left, but it's the way he is. Keeping the breakover refreshed all around does the most good. This will be his best year yet :)
