Last night the kind folks at South Wind took in five refugees from the flooding. The ponies and the dark bay are Bluebonnet horses but the paint and the gray are probably the foster family's personal horses. They're all super friendly.
Hot Shot was lame this morning. He wouldn't move or eat, scary - we thought he might have torn something but it turned out he had an abscessed hoof, which should be treatable. Thank gosh it wasn't something more serious.
Check this out: How horses got their hooves (NY Times). Timely!

Good to know that some horses are in excellent care.
