smell of rolled oats and. horse sweat and good leather.
It was not a lovely, summer mofning. It was foggy and
drizzling rain.
The mare dove into her oats and the colt nuzzled happily
beside her. Suddenly, the mare started pawing the ground
with her back feet. One at a time. then both of them in the
air. She stopped eating long enough to gnaw at her front
foot, trying to reach behind,the fetlock joint with her teeth.
I thought, perhaps, it was a pesky horsefly or' a botfly, ,
even a wasp.
She finished her oats and headed back through the corral
into the pasture. Suddenly. she stopped again and started
• pawing the ground with her back feet until the mud flew.
She rocked back and forth.
Oh. oh. My first thought was founder. A foundered horse
can rarely be cured. It's an in flamation of the hoof and
joints that can be extremely painful. I caught up to her and
lifted a foot off the ground. No heat. A hot joint on a horse
means trouble. It was cool. 'So were all the rest of them.
She couldn't wait to get to the grass after being cooped up
in the corral ill night. Before lett ing her go. I listened with
my head to her intestines just in front of her hips. She did
not soundlike shp had colic and.a horse with colic will rarely

looked worried and wretched. She has such soulful eyes.
We have always had a great rapport. She was born on my
birthday, the first colt to be born when we moved to,the
country.
I swear she looked at me as if to say: "Help me. Bob!
So mailed the veterinarian again. My vet bills are going
to be higher than my dental bills this month.
After an extensive examination, he found the tender
spots just at the heels, where the frog-of the hoof begins. It
was a fungus growth. sirnear to athlete's focit, so we will
spend the next 10 days washing all four hooves daily,
sprinkling them with peroxide and then spraying them with
an anti-fungicide.
I know nowwhy farriers must go home each night with an
aching back. And why they charge a minimum of S4 a foot to

Oh, my aching back!

The Project' expressed the
view that it is destrable foi' all
students in Ontario to reach a
level of proficiency in both
national languages by the
end'of secondary school: It is
therefore recommended:
15. That school boards pro-
vide programs in both nat-
ional languages at appro-
priate levels of difficulty
from Grade 4 to, Grade 12.
Further recommendations
'elated to language studies
are as follows:
16. That some recognition be
made by a notation on the
Ontario Student Transcript in
cases where an incoming
student has reached a recog-
nized level of proficiency in
French and would not there-
fore take the language over
again solely to earn credits.
