Here it is April. Easter has come and gone and the kids
are back in school awaiting the summer break. Our horses are
shedding their coats and hopefully (under Dr. De La Cruz
strict orders) not eating too much of that rich green grass
we see everywhere in our beautiful, lush foothills.
Speaking of Dr. De La Cruz, he was our guest speaker at
the March meeting and stayed after the meeting was over to
answer questions about his favorite topic, feet. We all
learned a lot about founder/laminitis and things to do in a
founder situation. I think my favorite part of his
discussion was about abscesses and whether or not to soak.
Dr. De La Cruz is not a pro soak guy. This was music to my
ears as I have spent many hours soaking abscessed feet with
water all over me and the barn, Ep-som salts in my hair and
a bucket on my head. His theory is that the foot when soaked
expands and then quickly contracts after the soak which is
not good. He suggests using a soaking pad, a baby diaper and
duct tape (elasticon is preferred but expensive) and leaving
it on and replacing. I keep a bag of disposable diapers,
infant size on hand and have found that they come in handy
for a temporary boot to ride in my arena when I lose a shoe
and can’t stand to miss a training session. They keep the
hoof from chipping away before my very dependable farrier
pulls into my driveway. Thank you Dr. De La Cruz for giving
me "permission" not to soak!
We’re on the countdown to Horse Expo and our 2 annual
Horse Shows. We do need volunteers. Without you, we can’t
run our association and we’ve been able to "give back" to
the community through our fun fundraisers. We need you.
Please email or call any one of us on the board and we’ll
get you to the right person. When you sign up early you get
to pick your job or shift. Call Now!!
Workdays have begun on Traylor Ranch every 4
th
Saturday of the month.
Dave Faoro can be seen out there stomping around, driving
the tractor and now using our new handy dandy weed trimmer
that no longer needs to be carried. A back saving device to
say the least.
Enjoy the trails. Be safe.
