So it is two days out, and she is looking so much better. I feel incredibly relieved. She’s walking and even trotting out in her field. She’s gimpy but feeling so much better than she was Tuesday night.
Still gimpy, dragging the front right a little, but major improvement from where she was.
Both girls have rain rot really bad and it’s driving me nuts. Kasane’s back is so sore from rain rot that she flinches when my finger tips lightly touch her. Poor baby. The dew poisoning on Rajiyyah’s legs are at least looking better. The scabs still hurt even when I’m gently cleaning or putting salve on…
Yesterday I did an experiment: I lunged Isis and Prize together in their paddock (which is also a backup ring). A few nights ago, I did a similar experiment except I lunged one horse at a time and swapped between them with both of them loose in the ring. It worked pretty well. How would…

My primary mare, Isis, is a product of the Crabbet/Egyptian breeding. She…

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…
