Update

So, the farrier visit has officially been pushed back until Sunday of this weekend, due to the fact that he is very booked. Also, the teeth floating appointment has been pushed to the middle of this month and is on a "we'll let you know" basis, for the same reason. That being said, progress is seemingly slow in more than just these aspects. I'm very worried about Tex. I think he's loosing weight on me, and the worms are back and I'm pushing for money. Ugh! One minute, I think he looks great, the next I think he looks terrible. I don't know what to think, my mind is going insane. I guess because he's not the only major priority. I'm supposed to be graduating next month 0_0   crazy I know...alot of pressures!!! Anyway, here are some recent pictures from this afternoon around 7.00: ( I know, I FINALLY got some shots of him doing something other than grazing lol)













You tell me what you think...skinnier or better?

I also have noticed a problem that I will be taking up with the farrier tomorrow...his leg, which does have scar tissue, seem swolen, and he is still stiff even with the joint supplement he is getting. I lounged him today, and consdered riding him before I saw the swelling, but I haven't had the heart to do so...not until I know he is 100% sound.

Comments...

It has been brought to my attention that some of my readers have been leaving comments. This is awsome, and I appreciate everything you guys- however, for some reason, I can neither see the comments, nor does it say that I have any. I promise I'm not being rude, I just honestly cannot see them. Hoping to get this fixed! Thank you for all the attention this blog is getting- it means alot to me AND Texas :)  <3

Anyone Recognize This Boy? :)

Look at the progress!! I know it's not quite 2 months, but I was looking at him this morning, and I just couldn't wait to post the progress!!!


Look at him!! I would never recognize him if I didn't know.

This is a picture of the dish in his back. It's almost un-noticable at certain angles (such as this one)

Rain Rot? What Rain Rot? Yea, baby, it's ALL peach fuzz :)  




All these pictures were taken this morning. He's on-and-off about how good he looks, it all depends on the angle you're looking at and such, but still, alot of progress. The only major problem I am having right now is pin worms...They aren't live, but it leaves this gross stuff behind, and I've tried deworming him, but it hasn't gone away. Anyone got any ideas?

UPDATE**
Today I bought another round of Dewormer, and the lady suggested I buy a daily-dewormer. I've been considering it, but now I know 100% it's the thing that I am going to do.

Also, for his joint stiffness, I have bought Sho-Flex. It is the same people that make Sho-Glow, so I'm hoping to see some good results!
