Where has Ceffyl been?

For once, mostly having fun by riding and working the girls. My main concern has been that Isis has been in the middle of an insulin resistance episode. We have been careful about her diet, so the next item was to up her exercise. All of the girls are getting worked more. I’ve mostly focused on Isis and Kasane because they are both overweight.

Stella is also having trouble with her weight. She isn’t eating enough and might be having trouble with her teeth. She usually sits with me, so I have to bring her food to where ever we are sitting. Spoiled little girl.

Kiesha has also had thyroid problems. Her last test was within the upper range of normal (0.5 – 4). Much better than the original test result of 14. Kiesha is getting 1.5 pills of the thyroid meds every day and seems to be tolerating it much better.

Overall, the animals are all doing better. Fiction writing and attending a great (inspiring!) con, ReConstruction (NASFiC 10). Lots of sessions for writing, met quite a few writers, and had a great time.

  • Free lunging Kasane

    When Kasane and I do serpentines free-lunging, I usually only have my carrot stick (4′ stick used for cues with a six foot lash). You are right in that most of the cues she is working from are body language and voice commands (walk, trot, reverse, etc.). You know how you can feel when your…

  • Isis and Sierra

    I got out of work later than I wanted and went to the barn. First time I was able to ride this week. (First week after daylight savings time.) Something about working hard to leave at 4:30 and then getting out and realizing it’s actually 6:00 pm… and I only had 30 minutes to tack…
