weather and other museings

Rain, 12 degrees C (low 50:s F) Translates to damp and cold. Pretty much your standard Swedish autumn. Just two day´s ago I was chillin by the pool in a 28 degree (84 F) Italy! Found a pic of the 16th century Casa we stayed in. Pretty cool house, very nice restauration job, keeping the old woodbeams, windows and stuff.

Was playing with the foals yesterday. I must say, though I´m partial, Polly is something really special! She showed some moves that was out of this world racing, stopping and throwing herself around! Such balance and coordination!

Polly

As far as the yearling filly Cat goes, she looks better, no structual damage on either bone or tendons. A ligament supporting the pastern showed signs of trauma from a severe sprain though. Have an appointment at the clinic next week to deal with that. A point burning around the damaged pastern that will essentially create a "corset" of sorts that will tighten up and support the pastern, thus preventing future sprains. Hopefully that does the trick, she is coming around and looks really good too.
