Harley is turning out to be a great horse. He is pretty quiet and has a great base of training under him. He likes the girls and is interested in everything around him.
The vet came out the other day to check on Friday and examine Harley. Horses need to have their teeth looked at occasionally. Because they graze, their teeth grow fairly continuously. In the wild, their teeth stay worn and even (more rocks in the diet, I guess). In situations like Harley's, where his fed hay and grain, they get sharp edges on their teeth that can make it hard to chew. Harley was kind of struggling to chew up his grain, so I had the veterinarian check him. Sure enough, he had sharp edges on several teeth. The vet gave him some sedation and then filed his teeth down. Hopefully, this will help him gain weight.
He said he thought Harley was a great horse and just needed a bit more weight. We have the feeding thing figured out, so that won't be too hard. Now it will just take time.

Friday is doing great! Her pregnancy is progressing without problem. She looks good and the vet said she can be off ReguMate now. Yipee! She is still moody and is a bully to Harley, but otherwise great!
