This morning, Louie finished his grain before my mare Marie. He left the run-in and went up on the hill to the hay. When I let Marie out, she went just outside the barn and was looking for a place to roll. Louie stopped eating and was watching Marie intently. Marie finally found the perfect rolling spot and went down. This flipped Louie right out and he came running down the hill to where Marie was and was bounching around by her. Marie got up with a jump and a buck which set Louie off even more and he got to jumping and he ran a few circles, then came right back to where Marie had rolled and immedately rolled in the same spot. When he was done rolling, Marie was up on the hill by the hay and he went charging up there full bore and made a few more loops around Marie and then settled down.
I was pleased to not see him lock up today. He did seem like he was being careful of that leg in that when he would jump up, he would not kick out with that leg. But, still, it was good to NOT see him lock up today. Hope that means there is some progress.
