MOM COMES UP LAME

Hi Fans,
Mom has been limping along beside me, and it seems to be getting worse. She has a bad left foot. I've known something was wrong for some time. Before we left Massachusetts, she would mount and dismount from the off side. That would confuse some horses, but not me. I knew she was trying to keep the pressure more on the right. Then she would ride with no stirrups, or only put the right foot in, and let the left foot dangle.

After we walked our first two days, she had to go to the podiatrist and get another cortisone shot, even though she got one two weeks before we left.

Lately I've been helping her up the hills. She drapes her right arm around my neck and I pull her along. That's when I know she's really hurting from the plantar fasciitis. I know this because I am a very smart mustang. Mom says I'm smarter than most of the drivers on the road. Mister Albino says I'm smarter than Trigger. For example, I spelled all the big words in this blog all by myself. Okay, okay, I admit I had to look up 'fasciitis' in the medical dictionary, but how many horses do you know that can do that?

So today, I decided, for her own good, that we should find some other way to get to California. Air Force One would be nice, but I think President Obama might be using it at the moment. So I am open to suggestions from all of my fans out there.
Love,
Winnie
