Beamer was treated to another massage last night, and still has a way to go. The therapist showed me a couple of more things to do including a stretch and a place to massage right at the tailhead. So Beamer continues to get pampered, and he's loving it. He got more of an overall massage at first, which really relaxed him, including parts that weren't supposed to- he heard a lot of "put that away!"
That's the spot!
I tried out a couple of saddles and found one that fits that I can borrow for the weekend. It's a very nice handmade saddle that belongs to my friend Bobbi, and since it's her personal everyday saddle, I'll only use it for the weekend.
I'll be picking up some arnica tomorrow, and Mrs. Mom recommended Zim's Maxx Freeze; some of you recommended Sore No More, which I will also look for.
It continues to be hot and humid, the local farmers are haying like crazy, and I take pity on the horses and get out the hose to spray them down.
The mares and Kai all got their hosing, and apparently a mud bath is necessary afterwards, according to Velvet.....
and Chickory. We could use a good thunderstorm to clear the air and keep the dust down.

Looks like Beamer is enjoying the treatment(as you say a little too much) Glad you found a saddle that fits him for your ride
That last pic is really cool with all the dust in the air.
I could us a massage like that or maybe from a tall not so good looking Swede with warm hands.
Arnica is amazing stuff. Make sure you get the gel though. I find the creme does not work as well. The gel soaks in and dries up leaving not a trace. Plus the gel gives you a cooling feeling. Nice.
Nothing like a dust bath and massage! Lucky fellow!
Beamer really does look like he's so enjoying it! :) Just look at that face!
