I had been thinking that I would make mom or dad buy future sand clear for the minis partly to give them some more incentive to not stir up the sand in that pen. I get so annoyed when mom strips the pens and stirs up sand where I had built up a layer of hay and manure mulch. I only clean out the deep spots and then I only move that 'mulch' to a spot that is too sandy when cleaning a pen is up to me; but mom is driven by the aesthetics rather than what is healthier for the critters and she had a little burst feeling semi-healthy and being ambitious in early Jan.
but CJ had a colic episode thursday morning. Vet wants him to get 10 days of sand clear and I will dose the 3 horses in with him as well on at least some of the days when I don't feel like taking CJ out + with the thought that they probably have some sand too. At least I didn't have to pay CJ's vet bill of $178. Yesterday I had to get feed so I looked at their sand clear prices. $126 for 20 lbs. So I got the 50 lb size from horse.com for $176 + $20 shipping charge. Got more MSM and Corta-flex while I was at it, and they had a little 'Rider Rasp' that looked like it might be just the thing for rasping on the mini feet. Only 5 inches long and has a plastic knuckle strap. Which is so NOT washing my hands of the mini situation. I'll just have to juggle as best I can. I don't want to short my riding time and care of the horses *I* bought, but its not in my nature to just let the mini's colic or the young twerp mini that they should never have taken on IMO ruin his joints with the too long hooves under my nose.
