Bay Mare Boogie!

The good news continues (yay!). She drank water this morning. She seems to be handling everything well. The path out of the woods continues to brighten.

She has been pawing whenever she comes back in from being outside — but it is out of boredom/pissiness rather than pain. She wants to go back outside and is tired of being in the stall. Her vet said that she will be able to graze tomorrow morning, and that will help her attitude tremendously. She may also get some grain tomorrow.

Yay! I almost asked him when he thought she might be able to come home. He told me not to ask him that until tomorrow after she has been eating. He didn’t want to jinx it. =)

The only bad thing is that the incision site has a minor infection. Apparently it’s in not topica. He’s going to take her off of the antibiotics to let the infection come to a head and drain. After that she’ll be back on the antibioitics to finish getting it out of her system.

(vast relief)

The bank visit this morning was also good. Hopefully the financial aspects are all settled (unless something else happens, but let’s not go there).

  • Isis was better today

    Insulin resistant horses like Isis have trouble with heat. Insulin resistance is similar to a pre-diabetic condition in people: the horses who have this metabolic issue do not process insulin (and sugars) normally. IR impacts everything else in one giant cascade: IR horses’ immune systems aren’t quite at 100%, heat affects them harder than other…

  • Saddles and shoes

    Since Kasane has been undersaddle, we’ve gradually discovered and corrected several problems. We did a saddle fitting and discovered that my Courbette Magic dressage saddle didn’t fit her at all. Got a new saddle which made a huge difference. Over this past winter, I’ve noticed Kasane moving oddly on her back legs. For example, her…

    It’s fly season again and the girls are sporting their fly sheets, fly masks, and new hot pink fly boots. Andromeda has her burgundy-trimmed fly sheet and grey fly mask. Breezy has a green-trimmed fly sheet and yellow and black fly mask. They can see through the material on the fly masks. It’s rather like…

  • Waiting…

    The vet was supposed to have called me back this morning. So far, nothing. I suppose that is good because it means no emergency. The waiting is hard, especially when I can’t just be at the hospital with her… Related Images:

  • Trail ride jitters

    Isis will (eventually) start lessons just like Logan has. He’s been doing very well and has been a real champ about it. He’s so much more fun to ride now. Yesterday I lunged both Isis and Logan. Friday Isis had a full workout with a nice bath. Saturday was Logan’s turn for the majority of…

  1. Phew – glad the financial bits are working out. I was really worried about that, but then, I knew nothing really mattered nearly so much as the mare, so I didn’t ask. 😉 Glad things are coming together more and more.

    And the only reason I don’t like wordpress sites is I never know when you reply to a comment… grr. Any way to make it do that?

  2. Actually, there are some plug-ins available that let users subscribe both to posts and comments. I’ll install them now so hopefully they will work. =)

    The admin accounts for WP do have the feature of being able to receive email notifications whenever a new post or comment is added. I’m surprised that same feature isn’t included for users. You’d think it would be. I’ll see what I can do to correct that.
