Rajiyyah’s Leg Lookin’ Good!

Vet came out and had some good news: The cut is healing well. Swelling continues to go down, infection appears to be going away, and Rajiyyah didn’t have an infection. We’re going to keep her on antibioitics for another five days with continued hydrotheraphy (hosing for 20 minutes) and wrapping while the wound is still open.

So very good news. I’ve included a picture of her leg. It’s not great and it’s turned the wrong way. However, you can see how the swelling has gone down from earlier pictures.

    It’s been a while since I wrote about Kasane’s progress on the Great Path Towards Riding. She’s learned quite a bit this winter: left/right/whoa/back while ground driving, bits aren’t nasty when given with treats, and dressage saddles aren’t scary. All of the exercises Kasane and I do build towards riding. Voice commands when lunging teach…

    The kids were great tonight. Even with the threat of rain on the drive to the barn, it was dry at the barn. I worked Rajiyyah first with the surcingle and reins. For the first time she focused on me and paid attention. Very good workout. She was mellow and happy. Isis was next. I…

    Wow. So it’s been a while since I last posted. I’ve managed to land (mostly) on my feet. I went from being unemployed to being over-employed, but in a good way. My old freelance contacts paid off in the best possible way: I was given enough work to get me through until I located a…

    The Grey Wonder Mare™ is really doing well. The swelling has continued to go down. The cut is now about the size of my thumbnail. It looks great! She is still a little lame on it — means she probably has some tendon damage to get over. We’ll keep working on things now that the…
