Yesterday Ace was very lame. He had been reported laying down in the sun at several times throughout the day and when I had a moment to get up there and check on him he was barely walking. I gave him some bute and panicked a bit.

This morning I took the above video Sorry about the crummy quality my 8 year old was filming so I didn't know when we were filming, and I felt bad moving him. I gave him more bute, confined him to a smaller area away from the mares, and put padded boots on him. It does not seem to be his feet. He is standing strong on both fronts, but does not want to lift his right, not because he doesn't want to stand on the left, but I think there is a muscle or tendon pull higher up. Once I get it up he is okay to hold it there. You can see at the end of the video the odd angle of the joints in the lower leg.

Here is hoping he was just feeling the good weather and hurt himself tearing around the hills *fingers crossed*. I really was hoping to take advantage of the nice weather and get out for a ride today. Luckily, so as to not rub it in, it clouded over and cooled down ;)
