Duke's foot

Caught up with more news; Bruno told me that Duke’s had a bad foot & been in his stable rather than out in the field.
It turns out he had an abscess in his foot……

…it’s not too serious, but rather painful! Anyway, he needed the farrier to take his shoe off, then the staff put poultices on to make it better, and when it’s OK the shoe can go back on. What a palaver!

It’s a good thing that Duke is a pretty chilled out character & takes everything in his stride. In fact I bet he’s enjoyed the extra attention!
