Hi folks ,
Here's an update on Tinny , the swelling in his right front leg is coming down and his spirits are still good. We have had to give a little bit of tranquilizer here and there because he has been squeeling and moving around too much.
He is so smart you cant even open a mint in the office without him looking in to see if its for him or not , lol , he is so funny he rests his head on his hay rack as he is looking in, so pitiful the look he gives. He is still not favoring his hurt leg and is standing on all fours , his temp has been normal and his feet are not carrying a pulse or heat.
We have had to put a small mud bucket by his his stall to keep the hotwalkers from walking by too close , its still his herd and he likes to pin his ears at the other horses when they walk by just so they know he is still the boss.
To answer the question about someone being with him all the time ( it was asked on another forum) , we are all there from 5am until past 11am , then the daywatch person ( who we have always anyway) is there until everyone comes back in the afternoon. When we finish up at 4 pm Jim-bo our night watchman is there until about 4 30 in the morning or until the first person comes in .
Richard doesnt like us to spoil the horses in the front of the stall because it makes them beg ( we do it anyway when he is not looking ,lol) but I catch him more than once a morning scratching behind Tinnys ears and petting him and Tinny returns the favor my hugging him with his head and licking Richards neck.
We are still overwhelmed by the outpouring of love , gifts and cards for Tinny , its such a comforting feeling knowing so many care this horse.
I will give updates about every week or so , thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes , it really means alot to all of us.
