I agree with this. But I do see what appears in this pic to be thickening of the tendons on the left rear below the hock and around swelling around the fetlock. The tail is in the way of the right hind but it would be interesting to compare the two.
I don’t think it can be determined from this angle if he actually has dropped fetlocks but I would be taking a very close look at his legs if it was my horse. Especially the hinds.
Acknowledging that this is a limited back view, under a lot of tack & gear, at an angle … he looks terrible. The worst yet, to these eyes. That poor horse needs this to end now.
I can only imagine what a better view of Pete looks like.
He has failed these two so badly.
On the stop cereal FB page, someone posted that he is going to drag two more weeks out of this.
WHY!! Why continue this saga. Those poor horses.
Well, look at all the attention he’s getting! Sure, most of it is negative, but to a lot of people any attention is good.
So I guess that means he’s a big Effin’ Failure, doesn’t it???
Whatever happened to the 100 days? Fail.
If he thinks more time on the “trail” will cause a $60,000 buyer to peek out of the woodwork, well, that’s another big FAIL!
Maybe because — doesn’t want to relinquish the attention, good & bad; — doesn’t want to return to real life & a job where he is not recognized for his awesomeness; — doesn’t want to start paying for horse care.
Didn’t he originally say that he would end at Seattle where he would start his great new life in show business?
We do not know what is going on behind the scenes. But no question it is all about HIM.
He orginially was going to ride them back to Tx.
and you are 100% it is ALL about him.
NOOOOOOO!!!
At least the dragging out seems to be happening at campgrounds, where he can bask in the adulation of small children, not on the road. Thank God for little favors…
looking again at Falcon picture he is doing what I call a tripod stand. The LR is placed inward and the RR is offloaded. This is a mighty sore horse… I am more aghasted at the other horses flat flaired and shoeless(?) hoof
That won’t work right now. All the actors and writers are out on strike.
Poor horses.

I just enlarged the photo and yikes, poor Pete’s flared hoof. I hope if/when one of them collapses with him riding that he hits his head, hard.
Yes, just noticed that. Good eyes! Poor Pete has flat, flared, chipped hooves. Falcon’s appear long with narrow, high heels.
Who’s doing these horses’ feet? Or should I say, how often are they getting properly done? I’m guessing only when it’s both convenient and free (or cheap).
Then again, Le Idiot does have his handy screwdriver, so maybe he’s tinkering on those hooves as he goes along. 
He lost / misplaced his screwdriver. 
a few weeks ago, when it was on someone’s property because Falcon had something going on with his front shoe ( I can’t remember if it was a hot nail or sprung a shoe) but he is trying to pull it off with his hands, the property owner (Jane?) sees him on her land, goes out to help and he REQUESTED a screwdriver to remove the shoe!! She had proper farrier tools and did it for him. This lady also thought Falcon was a mule so there is that.

most recent IG story.
Ah yes, I do remember the misplaced screwdriver and the woman who helped with Falcon’s shoe issue. While Falcon might not be a mule, I’m sure we all know who’s an ass.
Speaking of which… I love how at the top of his IG he writes, “unapologetically myself.”
So he’s aware that he’s a ___________ and seems proud of it. Alrighty then.
Bonus stories footage. The mayor looks utterly uncomfortable having some tech boy, entitled, outsider yahoo sitting at his booth while he gossips with his friend.

Looking forward to being blocked by him. Those poor horses. A horseman he is not.
He was just spotted in Kellogg ID where a sheriff was sent out and cereal was asked to remove the horse’s saddles and he refused. He has a small amount of grain with him so they couldn’t nail not feeding the horses on him.
Falcon has a bell boot on his RH covering his cracked and bleeding heel/bulbs/hoof, apparently missing a shoe; again.
Pete looks tired and his back end looks so gaunt.
Both of their coats are dull and the spotter videotaped her encounter with him. She sent it to The Mare Stare on TT. She said they smell like infection.
So he’s riding along side I-90 .
It looks like they’ve also spotted him this morning as well!
Since he’s on a much more public trail into Spokane, I’m assuming we’re going to get a lot more people calling in on him over the next few days. Yesterday, he was riding down a bike path that was banned to horses. I wonder if it will cause him to change his path or if he even is able to change his path.
