Long time, no blog!

Well it's been a while and not too much to report.

Izzy is cracking on with her walk work (weather permitting) and the vet is pleased with her progress, we are to increase the walk over the next two weeks and then he wants to review her again. I am hoping she will be ready for the Netherwood dressage at the beginning of September if my knee holds out.

I had a bit of an accident on a bouncy castle in the rain and slipped and pulled two ligaments in my knee...OUCHY! If it doesn't feel any better in 3 weeks I will have to be referred for an MRI :(

Izzy is pleased to be out in the field now although has developed foot rot (thrush) and it is absolutely gross I've never smelt anything quite so sick. So she is having salt water foot scrubs twice a day and purple spray on, it seems to be a little better. Blacksmith is coming saturday so will get him to have a good dig about!

Little Jack has bone spavin in both hock so he has just started having steroid treatment for that so fingers crossed that it works!

  1. Thought I would mention, Richard the farrier has some new stuff for thrush he says is quite effective - in case you wanted to speak to him to see if it might suit Izzy. I will probably try it when frogs deteriorate with all this wet weather.
