Max is the saintly gelding I bought last September. There were some deferred maintenance issues which I have been addressing. I have a wonderful farrier and had an extensive PPE done with a ton of rads.
The dentist came out last week and had to end up pulling a tooth, which has limited his meal options. She did not pack the hole, and he is eating three mashes a day of beet pulp pellets, alfalfa pellets and his regular grain. He will keep eating the mashes for two weeks. He was getting a mash in the elate afternoon just as part of his regular feed routine.
He looks fine. Happy. Eating up everything and licking the plate. I am feeling that I want to wait another week to start riding again. But the dentist said riding this coming week would be okay. The pulled tooth was way in the back and loose anyway.
I am amazed that this horse is as quiet and steady and such a trier, despite such a messed up mouth.
