I never thought my horse....

I never thought my horse would colic. Yes thats right, Sassy coliced on Friday night. As soon as I had left for my plane to chigago my mom got a call from Sylvia saying Sassy had gone down and she needed to call the vet. Apparently what happened Sassy just went down around feeding time and would not get up. Sylvia called the vet and asked what she needed to do and the vet asked her if she had any bantamine and Sylvia said yes. So she gave her 5 cc's of it. The vet later said that that banamine said probably saved Sassy's life! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SYLVIA!!!!! I know I will never be able to repay you for what you did for Sassy but I will try my hardest!!! :) She is now on bran mash diet but she can be started on grain tomorrow! I can also ride her now too. I never thought my horse would be the one to colic but she did and I am so happy that it ended well!!! I will never be able to repay Sylvia for saving Sassy's life....... Thank you

She is now 100% sound at the walk and 95% sound at the trot and we havent tried a canter yet... We really have to start training for Clemson in just a few weeks!! Jenn has agreed to train me so hopefully we can have a lesson next week! Thats it for horses but other than that I am really busy! With school workshops, and appointments and friends it is all one big mess! I am also leaving for chigago on Friday and I dont when I will be back. Soemtime in the next week. So thats it for now...

Not again!

So Sassy has had another injury. We are not exactly sure what happened but she is limping pretty bad on her front right leg and she has a medium sized cut on the inside of the leg. she also must have stepped in a ant pile b/c she has bites all over her fetlock and pastern of that leg too! So for now is iodine washes and bute and DMXO on her leg! Also cold hosing for the leg. There is not much swelling but there deffintally is some. It is not as bad as the last time she was limping like this so hopefully she should be 100% in about a week. We did move her up to the front pasture with Sierra and Snowy though so now you can see her from the road! Everytime I go to my dad's house I can see her! lol.

woooo! updates!! :)

So update time!! First of all, Sassy LOVES her new home!! She has so much grass now she doesnt know what to do with it all! haha. And she is now being fed a much richer grain so she is putting on the pounds nicely! yay! Right now she is in a smaller back pasture with only one of Sylvia's horses, Sierra. Sierra and Sassy are best buds now too! If I take Sassy out to ride then Sierra goes crazy trying to get her back! lol. But tomorrow Sassy should be moving up to the front pasture by the road with Sylvia's other horses, TJ and Snowy! I think she will like being with the other horses too. I havent been able to ride Sassy in a ring yet b/c of some legal issues but hopefully in the next day or two I can use her neighbor, Cathy's ring and get Sassy jumping and working again. For right now I have just been riding her on the MILES of trails around Sylvia's house. Like no kidding, you can go forever on those trails! I havent taken Sassy in very deep but I will someday! Another cool thing about Sylvia's is that it is so close to my dad's house I can ride the fourwheeler there and back! It gives me something to do when my dad and brother arent home. Another update is CLEMSON!! I have had an oh so generous offer from Holly to haul Sassy up to Clemson for me!! Thank you so much Holly!!!! I have to get in touch with Jenn about classes and stuff but if Jenn agrees I plan on doing flat w/t/c and mabey X rails. Of course it all depends on how Sassy behaves! It will be her first sleep away show, well actually her first show all together but still a "spend the night". haha. Well thats all the updates for now. See ya!!
