Getting things moving again
It seems like it’s been months since Isis had her last riding lesson. Next one is scheduled for Sunday at 3:00! Let’s hope the weather is nice and she cooperates. She’s had a week off.

Five second summary: Isis had colic surgery today (VERY BAD). I had written a long post about Isis being in the hospital with colic and a slippery-finger mistake caused me to delete the entire entry.
