We are still guessing and trying things with Smokey.  One time before he
went lame for no apparent reason and we put shoes on the front and he
was well within a couple of days so we are going to try that again.  I
sure hope it works.  Vickies vitamin therapy is starting to kick in and
I haven't tripped and landed on my wrist in over 3 weeks so its feeling
pretty good and we are in the middle of a cooling trend, it was only 98
today with low humidity, and I want to ride.

The horse that arrived with Diva had strangles and they were both
quarantined for a couple of weeks.  Diva was fine.
