Boogie Down, Bay Mare!

Man, talk about an up-and-down week! About 1:30 AM Tuesday morning, Isis colicked. Very mild, from what they said. She basically went down, got back up, had a slightly elevated heart rate and that was it. She was given some mineral oil. During the day, she passed the mineral oil and had a very good appetite.

I saw Isis yesterday evening after work. Her vet student had taken her out to graze and was delighted with how well Isis was doing. Except that Isis had apparently scrapped her leg. The stalls at the vet school are rubberized: rubber mats on the floor and a special paint on the walls. Now I can honestly say that Isis will hurt herself even in a rubber room. That’s my girl.

So the good news? She is coming home tonight or tomorrow! Wheee!

    Well it poured last night. As far as I know, the horse show (Fossils over Fences) has not been cancelled. This is Isis’ and my first combined training show: dressage, stadium jumping, and cross country. We’re showing in the lowest level class, which means the jumps are options, the stadium course can be more like…

  • Equine insurance

    Equine insurance is almost as much fun as people insurance. Almost, but not quite. Don’t get me wrong: I’m very glad I have insurance on Kasane. When Isis needed colic surgery, the only way I was able to afford it was because of the insurance. Here’s the catch: Once you make a claim for an…
