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).

    Some good news at least. Isis is still only showing mild symptoms. We’re going to start her on Marquis (oh-my-god-expensive EPM treatment) for a month and then retest her for EPM titers. If everything goes well, the treatments should only be needed once. If the titers are positive, we may have to repeat the Marquis…

  • Riding lesson

    I had a riding lesson today with Isis that went surprisingly well. We rode her first dressage test today (Introductory Test B, a simple walk-trot test). Last time I had ridden something like that was in college (been a looong time). We rode the test three times. The first time was just trying to get…

    I should have known better. Isis is lame again today. Again, seems impossible to tell exactly which leg or area is causing the lameness. No swelling. No heat in her legs or feet. Maybe just ouchiness? It’s been almost a week since the trail ride. I did find something interesting: she did not want to…

  • Riding Finally!

    Yesterday I went out to the barn after a yoga class and before evening dance practise. It was really nice to see the girls. I’ve missed being around them while all of the house stuff was going on. There is nothing quite as nice as having your horses nicker for you when you walk into…

  • Sad news

    My stepfather woke me up this morning and said that my Mom’s favourite mare, Farah, had died during the night. Farah was a sweetheart of a mare: multichampion Arabian in halter and performance, dam of five or so babies, and an unchallenged lead mare. She was one of those grand matron mares who knows she…

  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.
