Paja

Paja is the alpha male on the ranch.
And he has an ulcer.
He also a some nasty thing I can't remember the word for-- but basically his bone is pressing on the tendon in his ankle bone-- it's irreparable-- and eventually the pain will overcome him.

Not a happy day.

So he is now retired.

Cajun's diagnosis is also more serious than we thought. 8 months of therapy and then an additional 6-8 months to regain range of motion. So he is on a walk only regimen until further notice.

Both of these horses are so full of energy and LOVE to run.
It's really not fair.
But it never is, is it?
