feedlot weekend

Well, I finally went to the feedlot. From the outside it doesn't look like a horrible place. But the closer you get, the dreary mood settles in. So many horses, so little space- many of them just begging to be taken out of there.

Friday I was out with Cassie- then to my horses. Nothing really remarkable happened, I was more focused on getting the costume fabric cut and glued.

Sunday I went back out to see Cassie. A bit of a limp still- this time putting weight on the outside toe. But, she seemed pretty happy to see me and we had a good session. more friendly game of course. towards the end I took off her halter and just sat with her some more, occaisonally petting her. no more walking away and being scared of me. heck, i even picked up her hind feet! HOORAH! i did not pick at them, but i sure did friendly them a whole lot. just made it seem like it was no big deal.

I'll be back out there on Wednesday. the BO said Cassie's limp seemed to be getting better- so hopefully the abscess is moving in preparation to exit.
