writing again
It's been a while since I've last posted. Life has been a roller coaster. I met someone, it ended. Lilly was being a psycho herd bound mess. Had some issues with my life and I was in a tizzy emotionally. I was slightly depressed. But boy is gone, the issues are or will be resolved sooner than later.
Lilly is back to her usual self, except she got kicked and that was another 1k bill. In my bout of depression I truly realize that I have amazing friends. I've always known I had great friends, but I really became more hyper aware of it. My bff and are are like 3-days apart and I don't know if it's a Gemini thing, but we are having similar issues at similar times. We definitely helped each other kind of pull out of our funk.
Back to the mare. This year hasn't been what I envisioned it to be. When Lilly was having her herd bound moment I really had no idea what to do. She never acted like that before. And so it made riding not fun. But horses are apart of me, so I'm finally glad her brain has made its way back to her brain cavity again. It's good having my old mare back. And since moving to this new barn, she's different. (I moved to a new barn fyi. Its gorgeous, but no barn.) It's too late for me to try and do 4 licensed shows for All Breeds this year. I decided to just hit the schooling show circuit. But I'm going to have to get her legged back up again. But that's it for now. Got to get ready for work.
I'll definitely be posting more. :)

Lilly update
So here's a quickish update.
Dr. Davis came out the Monday after Lilly was lame those two days.
She's totally sound.
So Dr. Davis told me to just keep an eye, if after the fifth dose of Adequan if reversed again, we'd start her on Lyme's treatment.
Lilly is doing great. I guess the Adequan is doing its thing.
I have my entry forms prepped for the March 24th show at Morven Park. Hopefully I'll get in. I forget that Vada/Nova shows fill up quick.
I also have my entry prepped for the Vada/Nova Licensed show.
Just my weekends have been so jammed pack, that I'm like I want to see my trainer, but just don't have the time to haul. augh.
We'll find a way.

Horses
are and up and down journey.
So Lilly has felt bleh lately. Not lame, just bleh. I figure maybe it's because I haven't been riding lately. Maybe she just needs to be shaped up a bit.
But when my student rode her, she didn't look normal. She wasn't lame, but my gut was saying something isn't right. But she's not lame.
So I went to my trainers anyways and when I got there. My trainer asked me to trot her. And then she felt more BLAH! I'm like hmmm.... This isn't my normal gal. My trainer was like, she doesn't look right. She looks sticky.
So we trotted on a loose rein and still she just didn't feel right.
My trainer was told me, If I never seen this horse move I would think it's just a sticky mover, but I know how your mare moves and this isn't her norm today. I said yes definitely. She doesn't feel right.
So I booked an appoitnment at the vets for Wed. We go and she scores a 1 on the lameness exam on the flexion. He said do you want to x-ray her or what? I said let's go and x-ray her, because why not. Let's see how good my insurance is. I've never had to use it.
So 1,200 later, she had clean x-rays. Her hocks are clean. Nothing sketchy going on. He sat me down and told me to put he on Adequan and a pain med (for 30 days) and see how she's doing. He also told me he wanted to test her for Lyme's disease. I was like okay. Whatever. Didn't really think anything of it.
He calls me Tuesday I think and said she tested negative on the first two parts of the Lymes test, but tested positive for the third thing they test for. He said the test isn't 100% reliable because all it can mean is that she's been exposed to Lymes and carries the antibodies.
I gave her a few days off like instructed and started riding on Sunday. She felt great. I wasn't able to ride Wed because the rain. So yesterday my student rode her. I figure it'd be good, she'll just walk-trot her, be an easy day for her.
She's lame. She's worse yesterday then she was on my Sunday ride. I noticed in the walk she wasn't really using her hocks that well. And then when my student trotted it was definitely noticeable. Even my student's mom saw it. I'm like fiddlesticks. Fiddle fing sticks.
I was seriously sad. I got home and was trying to eat something, stepped on the dog and I thought of Lilly being lame and hurting and I just hurt the damn dog. I just started crying.
It's tough when they hurt I hurt. So I'm calling the vet today. I can't sleep right now. I'll find out what he says to do.
