For once, mostly having fun by riding and working the girls. My main concern has been that Isis has been in the middle of an insulin resistance episode. We have been careful about her diet, so the next item was to up her exercise. All of the girls are getting worked more. I’ve mostly focused…
In which our intrepid explorer, One More Nite, explores the wilds of a mowed pasture and returns with hives. Proving, once and for all, that she is still a sensitive-skinned Arabian. Poor little girl got into something and then she scratched. I found Prize’s hives on Friday evening when I turned Isis out in the…
Best thing about WordPress is that site layout can be changed easily. Worst thing about WordPress is that site layout can be changed easily. You can lose hours getting sucked into looking at themes, tweaking newly installed themes, and then making new graphics for header images. I just switched to a theme called Suffusion. Lots…
Stella has been back on track with her fluids for the last three weeks. After the day when she lost four ounces, I went to the pet store and tried some kitten food. Higher fat, lower protein: seemed like a reasonable choice if Stella would eat it. And eat it she did. Like it was…

Stella had her regular appointment for fluids this morning. She is still down 4 ounces from three weeks ago. She now weighs 4 pounds, 4 ounces. I don’t know if there is anything I can do to help keep weight on her. She’s lost a lot of muscle in her hips. It’s hard for her…

A while back, I wrote about Isis’ odd lumps behind her front legs. The vet came out in mid-July and biopsied one of the lumps on the right side. Test results finally came back last week: the lumps are granulomas. In other words, the lumps are scar tissue from an allergic reaction or injury. They…
Kasane finally figured out what free lunging really is today. It doesn’t mean that I chase her around the ring while she stops in each corner to graze until I can catch up with her. Even if the grass in the corners looks so enticing. The first time I tried free lunging her was after…
Rode Isis for the first time in 3 weeks. Bareback. She spooked and teleported. I fell off. Got back on.

I found this online a while back. I originally got something like this when the “you know you are a horse person” emails went around. I can certainly relate to most of the things in the list. Variations on this theme are on quite a few web sites. You know you are a horse person…

The vet said that the lumps on Isis’ sides might be three things: allergic reaction that turned into hard bumps, sarcoids, or lymphoma. The vet gave Isis a local pain block so the lump on her right side could be biopsied. The test results should come back in two weeks. The biopsy site has two…
