Sick bay

It looks like a sick bay at the ranch right now, only Ida's ponys upp and running.

Ritzy's Dream has been off for a couple of weeks, seen the vet and been treated. She still needs some time off and we havn't got a schedule for her return just yet.

Polly's not right in a hind leg that she's had problems with of and on for quite a while. She's three now and I've only rode her about 25 times or so in all. Might be we'll have to give up on her but we'll see.

Kick The Cat was doing really well until she nicked herself in the pasture the other day. She struck her inside front leg and might've hit the suspensory. She's sore and swollen still but it's alittle better today.

What bothers me the most though is Sweet Lil Angel. She's been off for a number of weeks also. She had alot of issues and to many to mention here. What she needs most of all is time and plenty of it to completely get back to health. She was full of brace and muscle soreness most of wich came from hoof joints and pasterns that needed treatment.
Not at all what we had planned. We were supposed to be well on our way to make her a cowhorse by now, really feel for her owners and sure hope she heals up with time.

Aside from all of that we had to put down Annelies great, great trotter gelding Avenir a week ago. He was getting up there in age (26) and was having trouble staying sound. Tough decision, but one that had to be made none the less.

Rest In Peace my friend!
