Our handsome newcomer that came with the name of Patrick has picked up the additional title of James,so is now known as James Patrick. We are calling him JP for short.
JP came with front lameness, having his misfitted shoes pulled has already helped, though he is still very sore. He will be re-shod following x-rays to determine the cause of his lameness.
He is a high energy horse but seems very sensitive on the line. Our riding evaluation will be held until he is sound, but he comes with a history of dressage training and jumping.
His recommendations and restrictions will be determined following his upcoming assessments.
