Another day in my stall

Well, there's really not a lot to write about because I'm cooped up in my stall. At least I can go out in my paddock now. Mom left my door closed for just that one night but then she decided to let me go out because I was pretty restless and she was afraid I'd just hurt myself. But she put lots of shavings outside so it would be soft for me. So now I have a nice bed inside and outside.

I finished my stall snack last night. I just kept licking at it and I couldn't seem to leave it alone. It tasted so good. I still lick the empty container sometimes but it's not the same.

I've just mostly been standing in my paddock watching horses working in the Flat Arena and visiting with Cocoa. Mickey is closed into his stall with wraps on his legs but I don't know why. Maybe he's on Stall Rest too. He's kind of grumpy and doesn't talk much at the best of times and now he's not talking at all so I leave him alone unless he's looking at my food or standing too close to my window.

Mom came out today and cleaned my stall and stuff. I'm getting used to this whole putting cold stuff and bandages on my leg so I'm being good about it. It's okay and Mom always gives me snacks. She gives me cookies and those things she calls Cough Drops (those are yummy!) and yesterday she asked me if I wanted a Nice Cube. Those are the crunchy cold things she puts on my leg. I indicated that I did and she gave me one. It was cold and wet and didn't really taste like anything but it was crunchy. I guess it was nice but not as nice as some other things like carrots so I don't know why they call them that. People have funny names for things.

The guys came with the alfalfa while Mom was cleaning so she got me out of the way and asked them to leave mine on the floor outside my stall. So I got to eat out there which was fun. I already had some grass hay - Mom has been giving me extra so I have something to keep me busy in my stall - and now I had a big flake of alfalfa too. I happily poked it around with my nose and rolled it over and over and knocked all the blossoms out of it. The blossoms are the best part and I like to eat them first. I wish alfalfa was ALL blossoms.

My leg is feeling okay but Mom says I have to be on Stall Rest for a lot longer because it has to heal all the way. I kind of wish we could go riding or at least take a walk. It's a little boring being stuck in my stall. But Mom says I don't want to be broken for good, do I and I guess she's right.

It's going to make my blog pretty boring though if nothing much happens.
