Getting things moving again
It seems like it’s been months since Isis had her last riding lesson. Next one is scheduled for Sunday at 3:00! Let’s hope the weather is nice and she cooperates. She’s had a week off.

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…
