worked with feet

Well no OMG moments, but there was improvement. I started with his back feet which are not usually a problem and today was the same. Then I gave his right front shoulder and leg a little massage to relax the muscles and went to the other side and asked for his left front. He picked it up nicely and was able to hold it until I gave it back. I'm only talking about 1 minute, but it's an improvement. I then gave his left shoulder and leg a massage and went to the right and asked for that foot. This side was harder, after a few seconds he needed it back. I gave it to him and asked again this time I decided to hold it even though he was pulling. He almost came down on his knees. Then we walked around a little and I started with the back again and then went to the front right. We worked for about 10 minutes, there was improvement each time I asked for the right front and then after he was able to hold it up for about 20 seconds I released and took the halter off.

I'm so glad I got out, what a beautiful day! I sat on the mounting block, closed my eyes and went to the beach. If you try really hard you can imagine that the traffic sounds like waves. It didn't quite smell like the beach but I think the beach would be a better place if it smelled like a barn! The seagulls were missing, but do clucking chickens count? They did today!
