Monday: Iceman is eating great and roaming throughout his large area in Shiloh's "Maximum Security Isolation Area".
Here is another picture of him in the wild...

"Iceman is looking good. He does have a little bit of swelling, but not any more than what is to be expected.
I followed him around a bit today, keeping him moving, and he even broke into a slow trot a few times. His freezemark his looking really good too. It doesn't seem to be itchy or bothering him yet. He does seem a bit more untrusting and skittish since the last time I saw him, but after what he has recently been through I dont blame him. Plus, he is still getting used to seeing through the fly mask.
Iceman did receive a surprise visit today though. Frank Stevens and his wife stopped by to visit with him. Frank is a Goodsprings resident and has enjoyed watching Iceman for the last few years out in the wild. He is neighbors with the folks who were involved in the nuisance situation. Frank was the guy who kept me informed on what Iceman was doing, and helped me to try and keep him away from their property and mares. I called Frank after Iceman was delivered to let him know that he was in good hands and basically a local boy again, and that he could come say hello anytime he wished.
I did manage to make a little bit of contact with Iceman today, but didn't overdo it. Hopefully after another weeks time he will be feeling much better and I can start back with the gameplan.""

Iceman is beautiful! He's lucky to have you, Eric. I love his name too.
ReplyDeleteCrikey.... know nothing about wild horses other than the front end and the back end, but you seem to be doing pretty well with this chap! Guess he's been chatting with the other guys at Shiloh and knows you're OK!!
ReplyDeleteAin't he just fab though?!
