May Horse Show

Because of rain, the May Horse Show was rescheduled for the last week-end and was relocated to the Hardy Murphy Coliseum .  Mel was ready  after being out the few weeks for his back and attending the Craig Cameron Horsemanship Clinic.  He went to the informational clinic on Saturday.
After doing warm-up exercises, he noticed that Buttercup was acting strangely.  After further checking it seemed she was having a problem with her shoulder/back area.  He decided to withdraw from the competition rather than risk further injury to her.  He had the vet check her and it seemed as though she had strained her shoulder muscle area.  Time would heal the injury.
He said it was either his back or her back that put them out of 2 months competition.
