Excellent TaMMa! Things are falling into place for you, glad to hear it. :)

Vets were out this morning to recheck T's eye. Still a lot of inflammation so have to apply her eye ointment 6x's a day instead of 4 and keep her on the horse aspirin 2x's a day.

Hoping for the best , but preparing for the worse. She's doing okay, the vet said when they lose sight gradually like she is it's easier for them to adjust. Now I just have to adjust! :cry:

But, it could always be worse , right? In the meantime, Walka is doing great. I'm going to have to step it up with him and make him my primary mount. I had it so easy with T, but he is ready for the demand and it'll do us both some good.

Hope you all are having a good day, sun is shining here!

I'm sorry for T, Walkamile :sad:. But like you said, it could be even worse.

Yes, I have a rule in my life that I'm allowed 10 minutes of deep wallowing self pity and then it's over and move on. Deal with the situation and examine all aspects to it. So, that's where I'm at now. The next phase of looking at all the aspects of T's situation. As long as she's not in pain, I think we can deal with this pretty well.

She trusts me very much and that as the vet said will help her tremendously in adjusting if/when she loses her sight totally. She is such a stoic mare that I must show as much courage as she does. So , she still has many lessons to teach me and they may not involve riding but grace and dignity in the face of lifes bumps in the road. :wink:

I like to call that self pity wallowing, "navel contemplation" :lol: My mother would say, when asked what she was thinking while scowling, "oh just contemplating my navel" To much of it does get you mired in the lint though :lol:
Keep us informed of T's condition. Maybe its time to hang a bell on Walka so she can start relying on her hearing more.

Congratulations Janita!

Socket95, there's a button called 'new thread' on the left corner, above and under that list of threads.

And it's not embarrassing, it's always better to ask if you don't know something :).

Had a surprise visit last night from one of my dearest friends! We've both been so busy with family matters we haven't seen much of eachother this past year or so. We had a great visit and are planning to ride together this weekend (she owns T's daughter and granddaughter). We're going to call another old riding friend to join us.

I really enjoy the trail riding club I joined last year, but miss terribly my old riding group ( all 2 :lol: ) and am so looking forward to seeing and riding with them. Our horses are old friends too! Should be a good time all around! :)

So I'll be working Walka today (haven't done too much with him) and getting him ready for this weekend. He was wonderful in the round pen Monday and stuck to me like glue after the session. He moved calmly on both off and near sides, nice walk and jog when asked.

Sorry for the "novel" , hope everyone has a great day!

Sounds like a great weekend coming up Tess. My hubby has to work so I may run into Wichita to visit my mom.
We belong to a trail club but haven't ridden with them all year. I think we may leave the club. So many of the rides are Sunday afternoons. With hubby working the graveyard shift, its always past his bedtime. We are early morning riders. very rarely in the afternoon/evenings.
Its turned hot here again in the 100's :-(
Other then that, a ho hum day. Saro did ok this morning with her new bit. A little head tossing, but it was her first day :-|

I had a nice ride with my sister on the new horse. Then rode my drill team horse. Then we went and worked with the neighbours horses. The mare I rode hadn't been ridden in nine years! a little nervous but still well behaved.

Wow, hada a GREAT lesson on Ben today! We've been doing flat work for almost a month, and his stride is getting soooo much bigger.

He was funny though. He stuffed a stride over one jump (bad me, I need to break that habit) and as my trainer put it "Somewhere in his mind he might have thought that you possibly might have considered thinking about considering hitting him with the whip" He raced around the rest of the course throwing his head and giving the occasional hop with me cracking up the whole time, lol. He was soooo excited!

Well today is quit a special day for Finland because Madonna (huge celebs like her don't really come here) is having her concert here right now. It's Scandinavia's biggest concert and thousands of people went to watch. The cool thing is that it's in the same neighborhood where my old apartment was.
Now I live 10.15 mins away from it but STILL can hear the music (quit well actually). I can even recognize the songs.

I think one of my lower level comprehensive school friend is working at that concert.

Thats pretty cool you can hear the music. Must be an ourdoor concert? I've never seen Madonna perform, I'm sure the show would be fabulous.
Its raining here :-( Think I'll take a nap ...Ho-hum

Pretty cool ridingismylife!

I worked Walka again tonight. Saddled and bridled (took the bridle very calmly - no issues at all) and rode a while in the round pen. He was very attentive and didn't offer to rear or buck when asked to move forward. I let him go where ever he chose, as long as he moved forward.

Tomorrow I will repeat but will ask Don to work him while I'm on Walka. Want a good jog without my having to "force" him into it. That's usually when he balks and gives a small rear and buck, as if to "warn" me to back off! Taking him out on the trail Saturday so I'd like this addressed before. Actually feel it's because we're in the pen that he protests. He much prefers the trail, makes more sense to him then going round and round in a pen. To bad for him, I call the shots (or at least I'm suppose to!).

Fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow.

T was none too happy about not being ridden. Her nose is a bit out of joint over being left at the barn. Poor darlin, but it's for her own good for now. Soon as the inflammation is gone in her eye, I'll start riding her a little.

That's all for today - everyone have a good evening!

Howdy! How is everyone today?

I was shopping with my friends and managed to spend around 70 euros...
 
#6,648 ·
Its easy to spend more when your shopping with friends :lol: It does make it more fun though.
Hubby is working days this weekend :-( I get to clean house
I just got the carpet in the bedroom shampooed...Now on to the living room UGH

Yeah, I'm normally pretty spare person as to using money. But when I'm with my friends I can sometimes be a little lavish (uckily that doesn't happen very often and still can keep the control) :wink:.
