Directions to Prize
I just received directions to where Prize is stabled. I really will get to meet her tomorrow. I’m going to take plenty of pictures.
Wow. I think I’m still in a little shock.

Isis and Sierra
I got out of work later than I wanted and went to the barn. First time I was able to ride this week. (First week after daylight savings time.) Something about working hard to leave at 4:30 and then getting out and realizing it’s actually 6:00 pm… and I only had 30 minutes to tack…

New shoes for Kasane
After her hock issues, we’ve been evaluating everything with Kasane to try and help her as much as we can. The farrier was out and had a good talk with my vet about some shoe ideas for Kasane. She has her front shoes on backwards now. This helps alleviate pressure from her front suspensory issue…
