Deciding To Join In An LJ MEME

[debris4spike]

Today as I went to get DJ it was to see that his bandages were still on ... Yay!

However, as I clipped on the rope to walk him back in, it started ... hailing.  Yes, HAIL!!!

So, we were both cold and wet by the time we got back to the yard.

Toni came and checked him over and I trotted him still bandaged today and with their help he is sound.  So, all I did was take off the strappings, brush the lower leg and then re-bandage.

It is at this point I decided to do the MEME that has been going round ... you know, the one of taking a picture, no make-up etc ... so, here DJ is!  Still partly wet, muddy ... and generally looking like a normal happy pony!



(It isn't a great photograph from a technical point of view, as I am standing on a slope ... still that's part of the meme!!)

Anyway - great to know his improvement continues ... even if the blue legs to add a certain something to his style!

BTW
Smudge has pulled the muscles in one of his back legs - so is also lame ... but harder to treat, as it is impossible to strap.  Yes, he was also showing off to the new neighbours!!

I'm glad to hear he's doing better.

Silly ponies! lol

Lovely photo, btw. It's nice to just have a natural shot like that...just him being him. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks - and thanks again for the link for the boots. Once he is better and working he will be wearing boots while exercising. The ice in the others were a great idea. When I worked at the stables I have spent quite some time cold hosing horses with leg injuries.

Yes, well, I had posted a few pics of him plaited and groomed - so nice to see a slightly damp and natural look to him!

These boys do like to show off, don't they. Silly Smudge. I'm glad the DJ is much better and those blue socks do give him a certain flair.

Hail! We had that a couple of times during the summer here as well. Very freaky.

Maybe if DJ had his bandages on to begin with they would have been posh enough and he wouldn't have to have gallopped around to prove he was #1!!

This is an adorable picture. And I'm glad his legs are better.

It was just fun for you to see him un-groomed.

Yes, he is feeling a lot happier with things, thank you.

I'm glad to hear that he's on the mend - he looks as though he's thinking "look at my posh socks, don't I look a handsome boy" :D

Yes, I do wonder if I had strapped him before his neighbours moved in then he would have had to gallop around ... he would have known he was the winner in the style stakes!

Thanks - he is feeling happier.
