Update on Sam....
I cannot believe the transformation that has taken place with this little guy. He has now had 2 hoof trims, 4 weeks apart ( so has Lupine, but hers were just raspings ) and his hind pasterns are now looking completely normal and he no longer has the over at the knees appearance. I've begun to allow KC and Lupine to stay in the same field with Faith and Sam now to slowly begin his socialization. Can't have him growing up to be a spoiled "only child". At first KC tried to steal him from Faith, so I separated them out again for a few weeks. But now they are all doing well together, and in the next month or so I will try slowly adding in another one of the mare herd, then another etc....to where Sam will have lots of aunties watching over him.
He is doing just fantastic, and everyone who meets him falls madly in love with him. He is so cute and personable. Will try to get new pics soon so you all can see how much he has grown and changed.
