Yet ANOTHER Mustang. This time it’s a two-fer. F-82 Twin Mustang from the Korean War. Yes, I’m on a Korean War kick recently. Wait’ll ya see my next one! And yes, the pilot and r/o were in fact inspired by an album cover. Any Sabbath fans out there ?
First real ride under saddle today. Max’s old saddle seemed to fit him better than Brandy’s saddle.
And what did we discover…. He is lame. He did not want to move out and acts like his front feet hurt him.
My farrier is coming out on Thursday with hoof testers. I’m hoping he just has thin soles and it can be corrected with pads, and it isn’t something like navicular.
Of course at this point I should be so used to things with horses going wrong for me that I should be no longer surprised. But I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve the continued horrible luck I have with horse lameness or behavioral issues. My only sound horses have been a rearer/bucker and a bolter, and my good horses are lame.
When I tell you I am so close to being at the end of my rope with horses, selling them all, and getting out of the hobby altogether….
