Today I am grateful for:

Very warm weather for this time of year.

Going to see River again (So happy to still have somewhere to go so I can get out of the house). Today was mostly a massage and stretch day. His breathing is a little weird, but I recognize this as being different from issues with dusty hay. He's had this before, and it's more to do with tightness in his back. R and I talked about some dietary supplements she thinks might help, and we'll ask a vet friend of hers for an opinion, and we're going to keep up with the massage and stretching and ground work. A lot of his recent soreness-es etc. likely stem from the fact that he doesn't have a lot of muscle on his back, so he's not able to "use himself" well. Hopefully we can help him develop more muscle. It was a known issue at the other barn too, but we never fixed it.

Another quiet night at home afterwards.
