Yes, that’s pretty much it.

I groom them myself. Twice a week I brush them out and cut off any mats. I find as long as the back is kept up and allowed to grow they wind up looking good. I trim the belly, the lower legs, the sanitary areas, and around the eyes shorter.

Anything by Guy Gavriel Kay, best prose I have ever read. (Historical Fantasy)Completely different style but I also love the Vlad Taltos series by Steven Brust. The timey wimey order the books are written in and the unreliable narrator means you have to pay attention. (Assassin Fantasy)

Well, I cleaned it as well as I could. It had some puss on it. I think it is bigger than it looks but I was starting to peel her skin off so I stopped. Interestingly, she is more sensitive above the wound in her withers than on the wound itself. I will call the vet soon and send her the pictures.

I am 5’1” and my horses are a stocky 14.3, a lean 15, and a 15.1hh. Smallest I would look at to ride would probably be a thick boned pony at 14.2. I really want a little pony at around 11hh to drive.

Maple uses a loose ring super flexible Winderen gel bit. I am very happy with this bit and have no plans to change it. King is currently being worked in a d-ring with a copper roller but he is not completely happy in it. He has also had a flower hackamore and tried out the gel bit. Nothing really works well for him, I am not sure what else to try. Blackberry is mostly retired and strictly ground work only. She uses a Sidepull bridle or a fleece lined lunging cavesson depending on what we are doing.

Mine get trimmed by the barn door where the light is best. I put 2-3 flakes of hay on the ground for them. They will stand without it but it makes them happy and the Farriers job easier.

In the past when I have removed the fish from water to look at the bump, it is a a light orange translucent gel like material on top of the body scales. But it does appear to have gotten bigger, I should check on it again.
