Oh I loved that movie.  Actually I like any movie that has dancing in it.  I like dancing period.  Dancing always seemed to be apart of summer for me.

But it’s summer,  wonderful, glorious summer.

Remember the feeling of the last day of school?  How you had the whole summer to look forward to.  Stay up late, sleep late, no homework.  “Roll out those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy, Days of Summer (Nat King Cole 1963).”  Great year.  Don’t know if the wine was very good that year, didn’t do wine, still don’t do wine.

Okay, enough of those warm fuzzy feelings, now back to reality.

Summer can play havoc on your horses feet.  Depending on where you live, and how the weather is cooperating, you have different challenges.

Too dry and hot, and feet dry out and crack.

Too wet and mushy, and you get soft feet, and foot rot.

Don’t overlook your horses feet this summer.  Use the appropriate hoof shield or dressing to make his tootsies into happy feet.  Sore feet will make him unhappy, which will make you unhappy.  This is so easy to prevent.

If you’re wearing flip flops or sandals you’re doing your toe nails, make sure he has his pedicure too.

Happy Feet = Happy Horsey = “Happy Trails”  Miss you Roy and Dale.  “‘Til we meet again.”
