"...I have to agree with Kristen-throw a party! "My Pony is Broke" is a great title... you could make serious coin. I know a couple who did this for a financial problem they were having-they got a Keg, bought hotdogs and hamburgers in bulk, and invited everyone they knew. They made over a thousand dollars!!<br />I have no idea what your barn is like, but could you have it there? There's lots of land obviously, and people could SEE Denali. You could have her pose for pictures with people for even more cash. Dang, I wish you weren't so far away, I would totally help you plan it:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665170020323796310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-81592395580608751742010-07-02T10:44:23.974-07:002010-07-02T10:44:23.974-07:00That is very frustrating -- but, like Kristen said...That is very frustrating -- but, like Kristen said, Denali not having surgery is most likely a blessing. Surgery on a horse's leg is a pretty big deal (not that the ligament thing isn't a big deal, of course!).<br />Does your vet make you pay the whole balance upfront, or can you make payments? I was lucky enough that, when Mac had his huge colic episode, my vet let me pay the bill off over several months, with only a 1.5% interest rate. That really helped!<br />All of us in the horsey blogosphere are thinking of you and Denali and sending positive vibes your way! Hang in there, girl -- I know this is a very trying time for you both, but you're strong & will pull through it. :-)Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-77162519632429182602010-07-02T10:00:58.483-07:002010-07-02T10:00:58.483-07:00oh girlfriend..I'm sorry. Those vet bills can ...oh girlfriend..I'm sorry. Those vet bills can seem so unfair especially when there's no true fix in sight, seemingly. I do think not doing the surgery can be a total blessing in disguise. Major disguise.<br />Seriously one day at a time. What I've learned is that these big animals, although sooo fragile, can sometimes fix themselves over time. I hope this is the case with Miss D. She's an athlete..she will pull thru and so will you!!!! <br />Also..instead of selling more stuff, why dont u throw a much needed "my pony is broke" party and get some drinking and gambling involved and all charity goes to miss D. Is that illegal??

I guess its these times when we just hug our mares and try not to think more than one day at a time?? <br /><br />I'm not saying its a 'waste', but never not once has insurance helped me out when it counted. So frustrating. As owners we do all we can to guard ourselves and our horses, and yet... it seems like somehow we always end up here... <br /><br />My best thoughts to you and Miss D. If Pia would stop convulsing I'm sure she'd say the same. :) <br /><br />stay tough and keep breathing!!Ginghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677667981067220682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-66075978395207718932010-07-02T07:34:09.878-07:002010-07-02T07:34:09.878-07:00I am so sorry to hear this and I can't image h...I am so sorry to hear this and I can't image how incredibly frustrating this is for you.

My arab gelding is still limping from a pulled impar ligament, where he tore a piece of bone off of his navicular bone. I'm currently in the wait-and-see-where-he-ends-up mode. They didn't say anything to me about arthritis, but you can bet your boots I'm going to ask them about it now after reading your blog. <br /><br />Hang in there and I had sure wished the insurance had come through for you!

I haven't taken those precautions and my worst fear is that Granite will (inevitably) be injured and I won't know what to do... besides take on some serious debt.<br /><br />Thoughts are with you and your girl.<br /><br />I am so sorry!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558668876103778821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-38122753519534758772010-07-02T05:05:15.814-07:002010-07-02T05:05:15.814-07:00Sorry the insurance isn't coming through for y...Sorry the insurance isn't coming through for you... that really sucks.
