His eyes wandered down the horses leg before he stepped into the stall, patting his shoulder and then slipping him a peppermint to win over some trust before he knelt down, gently running his hands over the horses shin and knee before he frowned and ran his finger gingerly across one tendon. Destin shifted, huffing uncomfortably. "Seems like he strained it, some pretty good swelling going on. Your going to want to put a heat press on it and keep him stabled for a few days, running around will just aggravate it and lead to a more serious strain or even a tear." Suddenly he didn't sound like such a cowboy hilljack anymore but an experienced horseman. -- RD Future: RDUniversity

(She stood in the open doorway to the stall, having paused after making preparations to stop him. No one was allowed near Destin but her, even her family knew that. She was protective of her baby.. but when he handing the gelding a peppermint and knelt down in a professional manner she had simply paused and let time take it's course. Something about this guy put her at ease and riled her up all at once. Sighing, she exchanged a glance with the horse.. at least she supposed she did.. and looked down at Josh.) You familiar with this sort of injury? (She asked, in a dry tone, dripping with sarcasm. She thought it was sort of interesting that he had just dropped in and known what was going on.. he probably had no idea what he was talking about.. some horse people thought they knew everything.)
