Is it Really Friday?


Where does the time go? It is so hard to believe it is already Friday. Karin has arranged to take Jamie riding on Monday afternoon around 4:00pm. Hope Sanna will work out for her. This morning Sanna's back leg looks much better but she was walking pretty slow over to the waterer. I've posted the video of Sanna and her filly taken July 26th, 2009. The filly is only 2 days old in the video and Sanna is walking and trotting fine then. Sanna has a skin condition, the inside of her back right leg breaks out when the weather is humid and if she is in wet conditions. It is like scratches on a horse but it is NOT scratches. If Sanna is given prednizone tablets the swelling goes down and the breakout heals. Sanna is pregnant and nursing so she is off the prednizone. It is good for Sanna to be back with the herd, she will keep moving that way and that will also help take down the swelling. We are having a wonderful dry spell and there has been no mud but the dew has been very heavy so perhaps that is the cause. This morning the weather was clear and crisp 50 degrees with fog drifting up off the fields and ponds, the horses were grazing in the background and the birds were singing beautifully. I stood at the gate just drinking in the beautiful scene. The paddocks are in the best condition yet, Steven has been keeping them clean. Raven was fed, then Jenis and Valiant let out for their grain. I made the mistake of putting her bucket of grain inside on the cement aisle way thinking she would clean up anything spilled, wrong, I had to clean up the mess once she was done. Tomorrow she will be fed in the grass.
