Final, Unexciting Update
| August 31, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Farley went to the vet’s today and we did a recheck on her muscle enzymes. It’s been 2 weeks and….. …the muscle enzymes are totally normal. 137 to be exact. She looks great – the vet can’t believe how much weight she has gained in just 1 1/2 weeks of being on free choice grass. […] more
The Million Dollar Question

Matt, my boyfriend, understandably is a bit upset Farley tying up. He doesn’t like seeing me unhappy, especially about something he can’t “fix”. He asked me whether it would be better to purchase a horse that was bred on both sides for endurance, and perfectly suited for endurance in order to avoid “all these problems” […] more
An update

Farley continues to do very well. As of yesterday she has finally stopped sulking about the lack of alfalfa in the mornings, so naturally I have now removed her other pride and joy from her diet – Stable Mix. She’ll get it before and at rides, but not on a regular basis. I don’t think […] more

Finally good news

Are you ready for some good news? I sure am! Excuse the iPod fumblefingers. I wanted to update you’all tonight! This morning when I went out to the stable I thought, for the firsttime there might be softening in the muscle. When I went out tonight,90% of the hardness and swelling was gone, leading me […] more
