Kasane approved for rehab riding

Kasane’s lameness from her shoulder injury is almost completely gone. She is moving so much better. You can still see a little bit of an off movement on her front right but only barely. It’s hard to tell if that is her shoulder or if it is a lef over from her perpetual lameness when lunged from the suspensory ligament injury in 2016.

I took this video today and sent it to my vet. She gave me the approval to start Kasane under saddle again. Yay! Back to riding! We are starting with about 15 minutes of walk and will add 5 minutes every ride or every other ride. When she feels stable with that, I’ll add in some walk. It may be a week or a few weeks. We’ll take it slow and she’ll do great. She’s got this leg recovery thing down.

I do miss lunging her. She is so good at it.

It’s interesting riding a mare I had five or six years…

    Life has been hectic, to say the least. The new job I started in January has been good, but it’s a lot more time and focus than my previous gig. Also more travel: I’ve visited Miami, Malaga in Spain, and soon San Francisco. No complaints. It is fun and interesting work, if a bit stressful…

  • Update on Rajiyyah

    I went out and saw Rajiyyah today. She is definitely looking better. She has filled out — she is well muscled over her hips and shoulders. Her coat is thick and winterized, although she will start shedding out soon. She is such a character. We had snow for an entire weekend, so she spent more…

  • Free to ride!

    I saw the physical therapist today. He said that typically a calf injury like mine takes about three weeks total to heal from the last time it was injured. (So I’m halfway through that time.) The best thing? I’m cleared to ride. Yay! Kasane is going to be so happy. She was bouncing around over…
