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!

    The last time I really rode consistently was Isis’ show back in July. I rode Rajiyyah today and really felt slippery in the saddle (didn’t help I was wearing linen pants). Boy do I need to get my legs back in shape! Any way… She was good today. Full of energy and excitement, but overall…

  • Thin Little Mare

    The Bay Wonder Mare has been losing weight. Not just a little, but quite a bit. The barn owners were concerned and so was I. Isis hadn’t seemed like her normal self. She seemed lethargic and quiet. Dull. I taped her tonight. Before the surgery, the weight tape said she weighed 950-985. Tonight, she taped…

  • When to breed?

    The question of whether to breed or not to is especially hard to me. I grew up on a breeding farm. We bred the best Crabbet and Egyptian Arabians (later only straight Egyptians) we could afford and always made sure they found homes. My primary mare, Isis, is a product of the Crabbet/Egyptian breeding. She…
