Lame horse, baby horse

Fernanda's Muneca turned up limping at the beginning of this week and an abcess was feared. But an X-ray showed her front right leg only bruised. The vet thinks she kicks herself when she trots and canters, and boots seem to be the answer. She'll be resting for another week. Fernanda meanwhile is practicing on Vaquero. She'll decide to ride Vaquero or Muneca in the March 29th show once Muneca improves.

A new baby appeared in the field next to Nicole and Lucinda's property. She's light dusty brown with a perfect white blaze down her nose. She ran off when Lucinda, Carla and I approached, then snuggled next to her mom once we walked away. Her mom eats the leftovers of a corn crop. We think the baby is only a couple of days old.
