Update on the Bay Wonder Mare
Well Isis’ stomach is worse tonight. The swelling has spread and the sores are intensely itchy. I treated her with hydrocortisone cream and tea-tree oil again. I’m hoping the vet can come out tomorrow.

Thoughts on Riding
Isis and I had a mixed ride today. I think it was more my fault than hers. I’ve been thinking about this a lot. She might have been reluctant because I wasn’t clear in what I was asking (probably because I’m still learning and figuring it out). She didn’t want to whoa when asked —…

Some excellent news this morning! The vet said that Isis will be evaluated tomorrow morning to see if she can come home. Yay! Her staples may also come out today or tomorrow. I dropped by this afternoon and interrupted Isis’ nap. She was so sleepy. She had plenty of dry hay to eat and two…

Movement and subtle shifts when riding
