Isis update

At least there is some good news: Isis is no longer lame! Her swollen tendon looks normal. The vet will be coming out on Tuesday to do a sonogram on her tendon to verify that it’s fully healed. If it is, then Isis will begin a light work routine until her hooves have fully recovered from the laminitis after-effects. Isis has a condition called ‘seedy toe.’

Last week, the farrier noted that her feet didn’t look so good. She’s on a three week trim schedule now. The same happened last year, and the shorter trim cycles quickly corrected the problem.

Hopefully she’ll be able to be ridden soon!

  • Trooper saddle

    Isis is not a dainty mare. She is built like a tank; something inherited from her Crabbet breeding. Her sire takes a regular tree, as did her mother. Isis has to do everything in a special manner, and that means she is difficult to fit with a saddle. At the tack shop the other day,…
