She is definitely feeling better and is moving around a lot more. She even cantered along the fence when I brought her hay. My friend at the barn helped me take a video of Kasane at the walk and trot. She’s gimpy at the trot, especially when slowing down to the walk. She’s completely off of pain killers now.
Sorry about the video being at odd angles. I opted to upload the video without trying to edit so I could send it to my vet. We’re almost due for the follow-up exam.
The bay wonder mare has a new companion: Cedars Rajiyyah, the grey wonder mare. I am leasing her from my mom for two years or so. We’ll be working undersaddle, possibly dressage or over fences (if she likes that). Rajiyyah is a bold-moving mare with a gentle, inquisitive disposition. She is a real people horse….
Kasane now officially knows how to trot. 🙂 She picked up the cue immediately. We worked briefly in the round pend and then in the big ring. She was good for two times when I asked her to trot. On the third time, I asked her to steer and it confused her a little. (Too…

This is just too cool! Mom emailed me today and said that she has pictures of my foal, who is still in utero. You know how doctors can take pictures of babies using ultrasound? Well apparently her vet did the same type of thing with Sabbath, the mare who is in foal to Sirdar. Mom…
I just found out that Mom posted pictures of Isis on the farm Web site. If you would like to see Isis and her full brother, Maattari, jumping, visit the Sirdar Foals page. It’s hard for me to reconcile those photos with the mare who is in the hospital. It was only a month ago…
Kasane had her saddle fitting yesterday and there were some pretty big surprises. First off, instead of being butt high, she’s leveled out. When the saddle fitter saw her, he said “Oh my!” at how much she has changed since the last time he saw her. At the saddle fitting last summer, her right side…
