The farrier came out today. It has now been exactly six weeks since Rajiyyah injured her leg. It is looking worlds better. The cut is basically gone, the swelling is minimal. She has defiitely improved.
Farrier said that Isis’ feet look perfect. Yay! First time her feet have looked that good. Rajiyyah’s feet also looked good.
I’m really happy with the new supplements they are on. They are making a real difference in the girls’ feet.
Some guys get belly button lint, and Isis just gets gunk. About two weeks ago, Isis had a swelling on the right side of her abdomen. Not very large — maybe about a hand long by 2-3 fingers wide. I used a topical tea-tree oil and hydrocortisone ointment on it. The swelling went away after…

I rode the Grey Wonder Mare today, for the first time in several weeks. She was amazing. The best trick I’ve learned with Rajiyyah is to let her warm herself up doing free lunging. Her concentration is much better after she exercises herself for a little while. So much improved overall. I wasn’t going to…
The Bay Wonder Mare(tm) is coming home tonight! It’s been a long hard haul for the past week and a half. Part of me can’t believe she’ll be in her stall. The other part feels slightly paranoid that something might happen. I’m glad the vet hospital is close so if anything happens we’re not that…
