It's all coming to an end!

Well, now where do i start.....

I think i've finally worked out what's wrong with Banjo. He could have 'big head', which is what horses get when there pasture has too much oxalate(i think that's the word), which is in buffalo grass and some other tropical grasses. So now he's back in the yards eating hay, and he's loving it. His symptoms are sort of coming and going at the moment. His jaws are swollen (only gotten bad in the last week), but the weird thing is he is walking normal again.

I went down and caught him this afternoon and he was easy to lead, pick up his feet (only the front though, not game to do the back) and HQ yield. He was perfect. I was mucking around and trying to get him to step backwards when i did, without any pressure or anything. It worked a couple of times, some how. Then i had to stop because he was starting to bored.

The worst part is...... since the paddocks that Banjo can go in both have buffalo grass in them, Dad said once Banjo is better and i find him a new home, i won't be able to get another horse, since there isn't anywhere for him/her to go. I couldn't believe it! I still can't, luckily i have 6 months to work on him. Lol.
