Inching towards our goal......

Fortunately the medicine for EPM worked for Breeze's front leg, but the back has started to drag again, we had a good week of her picking up her back toe; but now she's wearing down her toe but has shown a def. improvement since first diagnosis. So we start meds once again and hope this treatment will move us up a few steps ;p) Oh the irony of baby steps!
Arionna is well but the good and bad is that I got to put them back in their old paddock with lots of grass but Arionna is low on the pecking order so she gets pushed out in bad weather and gets last dibs on hay. Sierra is THRILLED her old buddy Breeze is back! Now she can boss her around again, oh the life of a mare, LOL.
I'm doing great, starting to find balance issues creeping in as of late last week. Was helping a friend clean up her horse's feet and I was squatting like I normally do but the new bump set me off a bit and like humpty dumpty I rolled over backwards in slow motion and we were in tears for several minutes. I was talking to Kathy through Hopi's legs and I saw her just disappear in seconds, quite humorous and location humor at best.

Good news!

Good news all around Breezes EPM is better, she no longer drags her front toe and is picking up her back foot much better! Stifles have less fluid and her eyes even look brighter! YEAHH!! I was worried b/c she's in foal and the weight on her joints will increase so getting her joints and EPM under control now is wonderful, I see shining stars in her future. Arionna has the best winter coat (see pix bottom right), every year it gets thicker and I know she keep very warm, so I don't worry too much when it gets super cold here.


Speaking of cold, Gracie and Poncho got their winter coats a bit late this year, BUT they were on sale and I got a great deal, pix above, Poncho was so warm in his new jacket, he gets cold easily, 15 this year and the horsey blanket is a thick fleece, such a good boy! Gracie is still limping but we are trying a new supplement (for both pups) so we can limit use of Deramaxx which is hard on their organs > on her last b/w (Nov.) her liver values were on the high end of normal. Since Buddy left us we are more cautious than b4 w/them, she's 11 this year so we gotta keep our guy and gal going!

More on the cats at next post, they are a unique menagerie of felines, love all 4 dearly!!

As for the other pregnant mom, we have great news too; we are having a boy and a girl! Our wishes have come true, 10 fingers and 10 toes, that's all we really wanted! Sometimes I pinch myself b/c it seems so unreal. I'm def. starting to show ALOT and will post a pix soon. Starting to clean out the nursery room this weekend, we have so much paint left over from LR/K, lots of yellow so we may end up w/yellow and a blue stripe or who knows what we end up with!!
