Wet weekend

It was a very wet weekend at the barn. Isis played on Saturday and apparently enjoyed herself so much that her front right tendon was swollen. She wasn’t lame and the swelling wasn’t warm, so I put some liniment on her and put her back out.

Kasane’s cut looks much better. I went out to the field to check on the cut and it was a little goopy. (Amazing what mud + scab makes.) She followed me back to the barn without the halter or lead rope. I opened the gate and let her into the holding paddock. She stayed there quietly, across the fence from Isis while I made preparations to bring her in. It was a treat to see both of them hanging out without Isis squealing or carrying on.

Overall a quiet evening at the barn. Mud city from the rain but not suck-your-boots-off mud at least.

She still periodically trips. The chiropractor pointed out that Isis probably trips when she steps on a pointed object, even a small stone would…
