He’s adorable!
Oh, the impossible cuteness! Watching the video on Facebook of Odie ‘helping’ by shaking out the turnout blanket, is too much. The ‘cute look’ when he catches you videoing him is wonderful. Hard to tell if it’s ‘crap, she caught me, must look cute’ or just sheer posing for the camera!
Haha is that a thinly veiled hint to post it here? Since he wasn’t moving and didn’t show the leg, I figured I’d skip it…
…but…
:lol:
So that’s why mini Mo is always pulling JD’s blankets off the fence. She’s trying to “help”…

Absolutely! And it can be about his leg by showing how well he’s doing and how happy he is. (Although your mare looks like she’d like to see him go away. Faaarrrr away.)
As I think of the two of them, I think of two horses at the barn I’m riding at now. One client still has her 25 year old arab, and a saddlebred (who’s about 3 hands biggger). The running joke is that the saddlebred would follow the arab to hell, and then the arab would leave him there. I think your mare feels the same way about Odie.

Hahah of course 
TB1201, Nika and Odie pretty much ignore each other, though he does know he can pester her and get away with it in the crossties. He likes to stand very close in front of her, and she stands there doing her my-ears-were-amputated look.
Its cold. Its icy its snowy.
Any really cute Odie pics to warm my heart???
( still cant do facebook )
Video do?
I took this yesterday evening while feeding. Odie has recently discovered where the treat bag is, and when he didn’t follow the Gator out of the barn, I suspected he was helping himself. Sure enough. You can’t quite see it, but he does a rapid 180* when I come around the corner at the beginning.
Yep!!! Thank you!
He’s moving really well on that leg (maybe to avoid getting caught red-hoofed?)
Thanks Jenners. Needed that
Yeah, he is getting around like a champ. He’s still very protective of it, like when he’s going up and down the “steps” in the barn (old dairy barn) he holds it up quite neatly for the step, and then moves on normally. And he was less sound than he normally is, I think because of the cold, and earlier in the day he spooked and came trotting to the barn with his nose stuck up in the air the way donkeys do, and there was NO irregularity in his gait :).
His vet appointment is next week to see what the vet says about starting to go out. My suggestion is that he can go out at night by himself when Rory is locked up, maybe with Nika for company so she’ll go out and graze and he’ll come with her, and then locked in again during the day. For a while. Anytime Rory gets “Odie time” he wants to go right away back to hardcore playing.
I think the Evil Burrito just careened into my yard and stole my car…
Yeah, he is doing well! :lol:
He’s gangsta like that…
Tell him to gangsta his burrito ass back here with my car!
He is cute and funny and he knows it! I love watching his antics and am happy he is doing so well
Nah I picture him more along these lines:

Hahahahaha!!! Odie is OB (Ole Burrito), we need to get him some gold chains.
Vet appointment today went…okay.
On the one hand, doc was happy with how Odie was getting around and okayed him going out at night.
On the other. Well. Rads from the side, the view we’re used to seeing, show Odie’s fracture is almost to the point of being invisible, in fact I didn’t see it until he pointed it out. He’s developing ringbone already (boo 
). Also, there was something going on in the area of the navicular that isn’t in any of the other rads. And the vet was concerned enough to take a skyview shot to see if there was something going on. And in the skyview shot, we got our first chance to look at the top surface of the short pastern bone…which still has a very visible line. The vet said the fracture, actually being two separate ones, did cleave the bone and this is probably normal, but it does indicate that he’s still healing and a long way from done. Prior to seeing that angle, he said Odie was about 80 percent.
But he said that going out and being weight-bearing is good at this point, as long as he isn’t playing with Rory, because the bone is very fragile. He’s going to go out with Nika, mainly so he’ll actually go out and not just hang out around the nighttime pens, and he and Nika have a healthy respect for each other and she has no play drive.
It’s now March and there isn’t an Odie update… hint, hint 
Sorry… I kinda figured I’d let the thread die after the last update. 
He’s good! Turned into a total attention whore, he now walks up and either butts my butt, causing a very unsexy like jiggling feeling, or rests his chin on my hip and gives me Sad Eyes. Sad Eyes are killer.
Here he is last week causing hate and discontent with the BO’s horses. And being introduced to my trainer’s rescue, a cute but rail thin TB who ran his last race in January.
