There is Still No Improvement...

It is unfortunate that we have yet to get a diagnosis of Telly's lameness issue so we can do something about it. The closest we have gotten is the vet feels he may have a bone cyst, which if he does would probably require surgery. I hate to put Telly through another surgery unless I know for certain that this would cure him and he would be rideable and pain free.

Lately I have just been getting on him bareback or undersaddle and walking around for about 15min. I am also doing water therapy with him, which includes swimming in our pond. He seems to really enjoy this, splashing me till I am soaked and wading around in the cool water. I will probably not do this more than twice a week just for the fact of trying to keep his hooves dry. I have heard that making horses swim is really quite good rehab and I can only keep praying that it will be beneficial to my boy.

 Other than that, there is not much more I can do for him at this time. I would like for him to be on a supplement that could possibly lubricate his joints and make him more comfortable. Right now I am saving up for an HD Sony Handycam and then hopefully I can start saving up  to do something more for Telly by next year. Until then I will just keep enjoying our precious moments and good times in the pond.
