Accident prone

Phelps got his leg caught in something a few days ago. He was tender. It was puffy and had some very small, roundish scrapes on it. Just fetlock and below. Yeah, JUST.

It was warm again today and back with the fly masks and spray. Phelps is so good. He let me grab him, put on the mask, spray his whole body. And then he looks for some affection. Like he wants to make it up to me that I had to come spray him to keep the flies away.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to rehome this horse. He is a sweetie.

Leg is much better today. No longer ouchy on it and swelling is all down.

Blankets at night. Fly masks and sunburn during the day. Must be the High Desert.
