Clarification

I have not seen a vet yet (since my hock was looked at several months ago, when my thoroughpin first appeared without lameness) but I am waiting for a call back to confirm an appointment. We hope they can get us in early this week.

I am very stiff and sore in the early AM but work out of it with activity; by lunch time, I am almost sound, but I do rest my off hind 95% of the time. FarmWife is so troubled by this that I am actually eager to see the vet! I want her merry, sing-song self back. She thinks I might have arthritis, hence the discomfort with my first steps of the day. I hope she's wrong.

Here is a little conversation clip from this morning:

FW: "Hello angel!"
FB: HELLO, FARMWIFE.
FW: "How are you this morning, my poor sweet lad?"
FB: HUNGRY. DID YOU BRING MY SPARKLY COOKIE?
FW: "Oh, I'm happy to see you too! Here's your vitamin."
FB: MPHMPHMPHSHLURRPSMACK!
FW: "I love you, Fenny."
FB: "I LOVE YOU TOO."

    I hop0e it isn't arthritis too, Fenway, I have that and it isn't nice at all! There are treatments, though, that's a good thing.

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
