Ughhh. I guess this points me towards taking him to CSU again. The bad steps felt like he was sore on a front foot but I don't trust myself. I guess I will clean his feet good tomorrow to see if there is anything to be seen, and maybe ride him in the sandy paddock instead of down the hard road next time I get on him and probably I need to be back to "just get him sound for more active pasture turnout, buy another horse to do any serious riding" mindset like I was thinking this winter. With Tanza seeming to be quite good I was thinking I can take him on trails as long as I don't ride with the endurance folks. Now I don't know.
I'm reluctant to buy another horse because I don't know if I'll ride that much even if I get a good sound trail horse. I've been trying to connect with a couple of B's friends. J texted that she 'was out of commission' right now. L texted that she wanted to ride but had hurt her back. I texted L again a week ago and she said her back was still messed up. I think L probably is actually hurt. I don't know with M and J, they might just be throwing out an excuse. I've always enjoyed riding with them but it's long drives to their trails, and they ride longer, not sure I have the energy to do it too often even if they ever invite me to join them, but it would be good for Taj while B is too busy with baby daughter to ride him.
