Waiting…
The vet was supposed to have called me back this morning. So far, nothing. I suppose that is good because it means no emergency. The waiting is hard, especially when I can’t just be at the hospital with her…

Updates on the girls
First, Isis. She has had two doses of the Oroquin-10. From what I read about the drug, some horses improve as early as 3-5 days after treatment starts. We went for a walk up and down the lane near the barn. A reasonable walk in hand with some grazing, for about 15-20 minutes. The first…
Isis as a yearling
Here is a video of Isis (bay) and her sister Asiirah (chestnut) when they were yearlings. Hard to believe Isis will be 17 this year. Funny how her blaze took up her entire face as a youngster and how she grew into it. Related Images:
