MIL took Sis back for a recheck yesterday and the vet was amazed with her results in the last week. We are hoping this means that surgery is no longer even on the table. I think it has helped a little bit having her back at my house as she really wants to keep track of the other horses so I think she’s moving more. She’s back to some of her old antics so I know she’s feeling better.
The vet gave MIL the go ahead to start riding her for 20 min. a night at the walk for 10 days. I think after that she can gradually ad in 5 min. of trotting and work up from there. He told MIL to keep an eye on her and if she felt she was doing poorly to call him first but he didn’t feel he needed to see her again anytime soon.
Lucy went to the clinic with Sis too. It appears she had issues with her TMJ. The vet had the dentist float her teeth and remove 4 caps (we knew these were there but when we had her floated in May they weren’t ready to come off). We’ll keep an eye on her to see how she’s eating and how she’s collecting now.
If I didn’t know better I’d think Black gained 10 yrs. here recently. I took her to drill Tues. night and she was full of P & V. I never thought I’d see the day where I had to hold her back but I had to.
We have a rodeo Sat. night about 2 hours away and then she’ll get some much deserved time off until Sept. I’m going to try to focus my time/energy on Lu. My next show is Aug. 22nd and I’d really like to have her ready for the w/t class at least.
