Skye Pregnant

Mom did not join us on the walk this morning. She had a bad night with sharp pains in her back. She didn't feel well enough to go to Berean either.  We had a very productive day at that office. IF you would like to read about our morning there click HERE.
I left at 12:30 pm as Dr. Hoerr was scheduled to come after 1:00 pm. He didn't make that time.  Ruth took mom to the pulmonary doctor visit. That was informative. The doctor said the progress from 2013 until now  with fibrosis in the lungs was mild and probably not the cause of the shortness of breath.  That maybe from leaks in the heart valve. Mom is waiting for the appointment with the cardiologist.  Overall though the doctor said it was good news. The heart thing is more treatable than than the lungs.
Skye, Ripper and Mika were brought over here and put in Ribbon's old paddock so I could grab them easy when Dr. Hoerr arrived. A bale was moved into Indy, Rosaleigh and Sheena's paddock then the back gate shut so they would also be easy to grab. Dr. Hoerr arrived around 5:30 pm. Skye was done first.

I was happy she stood for him without needing a twitch or sedation. Dr. Hoerr pronounced her pregnant. Indy was next, she may be pregnant or may be coming back in season. She has what looks like embryonic vesicles but may be cysts.  She also had some edema and some 34 mm follicles. I will need to tease her hard the next few days to see if she comes in. Ripper is moving much better and the abscess is healed up but he still seemed a little off. Dr. Hoerr recommended he be put in a dry lot with not good hay as he is quite obese. Rosaleigh was not far enough along to see if she was pregnant or not.  Now for the bad news: Skye is the horse that kicked and Mike feels we cannot have a dangerous horse here with so many children around. We decided she must be sold. Skye is registered and DNA'D with Friesian Heritage Horse International. She is very tall, already 16.2 hands as a 3 year old. She is also very athletic and best of all carrying a 75% Friesian foal. She is now for sale for $6000.00 as a 2/1 package. She likes people but is only 3 years old. We will also put on the bill of sale that she has kicked as we don't want anyone else hurt. Who ever ends up with her will be pleased, she really is a beautiful mare.
