Thank goodness Lilly is back to being sound and I'm able to ride her again. I have no doubt you'll be riding Denali again soon. :)<br /><br />If it makes you feel better (or feel totally sorry for me), my gelding was officially retired because of lameness issues when he was 6. He's now 24. So, yeah... He has eaten a SHIT ton of money over the years, but I love him dearly.<br /><br />Stay positive and give that mare of yours a big kiss from me and Lilly!in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-11646500539987700632010-05-25T20:05:55.704-07:002010-05-25T20:05:55.704-07:00Hang in there!

She'll be right for what her future holds... sometimes it just takes a long time. <br /><br />I know mine was a basket case for the longest time just because she was mentally a baby. Then once her brain wires straightened out it seemed that she'd hurt herself and set us back a couple months in training and fitness. It's been a frustrating journey but through it my little mare has matured into a smart, thoughtful horse who tries her heart out to do what I ask of her. Last year I had to seriously think about how much money I could invest in her vet bills, and it wasn't easy but there were a lot of options available once I got creative. Fortunately she seems to have healed with no lasting effects, at least nothing obvious yet. Time will tell! <br /><br />So hang in there and love on your mare a little bit more each time you see her :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321118722150772797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-10437768802240056942010-05-25T18:31:46.044-07:002010-05-25T18:31:46.044-07:00Girlfriend, I know and have felt your pain.
Two-...Girlfriend, I know and have felt your pain. <br /><br />Two-- almost THREE-- years of rehab (by myself and my husband) into Sonny Bunz. Now, we can ride. And we even loped for the first time.<br /><br />Don't. <br />Give.<br />Up.<br /><br />Listen to your mare, and listen to your heart.<br /><br />Sonny recovered from hock fractures, blown knees, and a total body FUBAR from all four legs being a disaster.<br /><br />Just shy of three years later- he is OK. Not perfect, and he makes funny noises when he moves, but we can ride. <br /><br />Hang in there. Horses have amazing healing abilities. Sometimes, they need us to support them. Sometimes, they just need us to get out of the way.<br /><br />Chin up, be strong, kiss your beautiful mare, and know lots of people out here are pulling for you guys!Mrs. Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269132012512166439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-34012204181845707252010-05-25T15:44:50.576-07:002010-05-25T15:44:50.576-07:00I can only begin to imagine your frustration.

Sending good thoughts for a speedy recovery. Hang in there!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725804934293810949noreply@blogger.com
