D currently has an abscess (again) but he is quite amazing when it comes to soaking his foot in the bucket hardly ever taking it out.
Otherwise we have been working on cantering without me feeling like he is going to explode. This does mostly rest with me because he is doing a lovely job and doesn't look nearly as huge as he feels. We are also working on cantering in a straight line which is quite different when we've been in a circle for quite a while.
I have a lot of questions regarding D and his blindness. We recently had to put him on a weight gain supplement because regardless of how much he eats he needed some additional weight. He of course started to fill out as soon as I got it, but his body structure and stance have changed a lot.
D tilts his head to the side most of the time which is cute and makes him appear to be processing whatever amazing thing you just said but its a change.
He is bony and has weird edges but its not because he is skinny it has something to do with the way he stands. Maybe he is atrophying??
Do the blindness and his weight have a connection? Is this what happens to horses with bilateral uveitis? How does one keep a horse in motion, etc... when he only moves with you on him or working him from the ground? Many of these questions are more of just my brain processing and don't really have an answer but these are the random things I think about and not just at night. :)
I love my horse but I wish I knew more about what is happening to him...
