Ring versus paddock with Isis

It’s Isis’ fifth day of treatment on Oroquin-10. Every day when I go out, I start looking for little improvements — and I’m often rewarded with a lot more than I expected. Today, Isis’ toe dragging was much improved, when walked in the ring. When Isis is more interested in what is going on, then she drags her toes a lot less. When I had her in the paddock today, she seemed to be dragging her toes and not wanting to move on very much.

So, we went into the big ring, and she immediately started moving out a little more (and tried to get some grass).

    I worked both of the girls today. Ah, sanity! I drove up and Isis knickered at me. Walking into the barn, both girls whinneyed for me. That was a treat: first time they have both called for me. I should have been sewing. Had to see the girls and play with them for a little…
