Cupid turned 5 this weekend. I brought him a carrot bouquet, which he seemed pretty happy about.

I was a little worried because his right hind leg looked a little puffy, but it didn't have any heat, so I decided we would just take it easy and see if he works out of it. We just walked around the property for about half an hour and had a nice time. We went up the little trail he likes to scramble up, I felt him start to gather himself and gave a little half halt and he walked up quietly so I told him he was a good boy. He didn't seem lame and his leg was looking better by the end of our walk.
After our ride I gave him a bath, for the first time in months. He was filthy! He was very good. Sometimes he seems a little anxious in the wash rack, but he was very good and didn't whinny at all. Then I let him graze as he dried. He was very fluffy and smelled nice!
To top it off he got extra goodies in his grain. I think Cupid enjoyed his birthday!
