Isis seemed like a completely different horse this evening. She was perky and interested in everything. She has been getting into things too. Since she started back on grain, she has apparently been throwing the halters off of the walls. Anything within her reach is not safe. That’s my girl!
She just seemed so much livelier tonight. The grain is really making a difference. So far, she is also eating the corn oil. We will see how it goes.
What kind of sick person takes a picture of her horse pre-operation? Maybe someone who hopes that this won’t be the last picture I take of her. Maybe because I’m hoping against everything that she pulls through and is one of the miracle mares you read about. Call it preventive measures? I’ll try to post…
Kasane finally figured out what free lunging really is today. It doesn’t mean that I chase her around the ring while she stops in each corner to graze until I can catch up with her. Even if the grass in the corners looks so enticing. The first time I tried free lunging her was after…

Rajiyyah was full of herself yesterday. When I lunged her, she kicked up her heels, pranced around, and was a holy terror on the lunge line. After a few minutes she settled down adn we were able to get some productive work done. What a silly girl. Poor thing has rain rot on her hips…
This is just too cool! Mom emailed me today and said that she has pictures of my foal, who is still in utero. You know how doctors can take pictures of babies using ultrasound? Well apparently her vet did the same type of thing with Sabbath, the mare who is in foal to Sirdar. Mom…
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…
