Work

Going out to the barn to excercise Ares.  Since he has had his abcesses we haven't been able to ride him but now that he is doing better we are starting to excercise him.  I usually walk him up and down hills five to six times and then we take him in to the barn and do thrush treatment which is koppertox and turpentine that goes on the soles of his feet and hoof dressing or venitian turpentine on the actual hoof.  We will not be able to take Ares to Manassas but we will continue to work him so he can go to Montpelier in August.
