Axel is Sore Again

So I lunged Axel for a while hoping he'd work out of his soreness. He didn't really. He's not too bad off but since it's kind of a fight to get him to cooperate I was hoping for one less thing to deal with. I rode for a while anyway, just some easy trotting. I might have to ride him a bit more often, or at least lunge him to keep him moving around. The farrier is due out on Monday so I'm sure long hooves isn't helping matters much. And I might get some liniment to see if that helps at all. Otherwise we might be back to bute before riding. We'll see how he does after a good trim.
