| Stryker's Status
 Good news! The vet phoned to say that Stryker can be hand walked for up to 20 minutes daily! I was so excited (as was he) to hear this! After providing me with some ACE (sedative) I was able to have him venture out. He was wonderful and very interested in eating the grass that he has been watching grow.
The second time I took him out, I did not wait long enough for the ACE to kick in. How did I know that you ask? Because he bucked, with a hind foot brushing my thigh. Back in the stall for another 15 minutes he went. The second attempt was much calmer, however he still bucked, out of my range, twice.
Some interesting things we have noticed. When Stryker's water bucket is empty he makes a big ruckus! Banging it around and making all kinds of noise. When you approach to fill the bucket, he will point his head repeatedly to the big water trough as if to say, "There, that's what I need."
Stryker also points his entire head to the field. He says, "Come on, over there is what I want. Why can't you understand?"
All in all this is great news. He is feeling good and now able to get out for a bit. I did not expect to be hand walking him until July-so May is ahead of schedule!
