Today was interesting overall. One, despite a lot of effort, Chase's thrush has progressed to a more serious level than I originally thought, and most of it, I found out, is because I didn't trim the flaps on his frogs harboring bacteria underneath them. So I ended up taking at least some frog off of every hoof, and while I was leaving as much as I could, on one foot I ended up taking almost the entire frog off because there was thrush hiding under everything. So I did that, and bleached them all. I've switched treatments from scrubbing with Dawn and then applying vinegar (vinegar was too painful for him) to just applying a mixture of 5 parts water and 1 part bleach to the affected areas-saturating it, actually. We'll see how this goes.
Two, I've started a program of playing with transitions more. Tonight's results are in the video posted, as well as a funny moment where, after I accidentally drop the rope, after a few more laps Chase decides he's bored and just..well...leaves. LOL. So you'll get a laugh out of that. Talk to you all later!
P.S. Watching this video, I can see times where my energy is way too high and I threw it around quite a bit more quickly than he was ready for or was appropriate. I can also see that I sometimes did the wrong thing at the time-one most prominently I yielded his forehand strongly when he asked me a polite question with a really good expression (whoops). Going to make a transition play program for the next week, and once I put more clips up, hopefully we'll see some improvement. :)
