Pendlewitch Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Loads of 'settle down Loki' thoughts coming your way! Wanda is CROSS, she nodded off in the turnout, (yes we had some sun) and her nose touched the electric fence. Sam says she threw the most humungous paddy, beat Kim up and then chased the chickens! What a moody moo she is lately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel155 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 There haven't been many pics taken of me on Feniks. We went for a nice long canter on Saturday and Steve took the camera down. Anyway, this is the pic he took of me on Feniks And one of Lauren on Pablo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendlewitch Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Wanda took herself off to another showjumping clinic with her Aunty Sam and had a Wandaful time! Sam said she went bonkers every time she was asked to canter and then put in the most humungous buck ever. It seems I'm at work for every clinic so far so don't get any pics, that's really annoying! At least Wanda is having fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbysmum Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi everyone. Just popped in to see how you all were and it seems to have been remarkably quiet. Hope Loki is settling in ok and enjoying seeing his mum in her lunch hour. Dexter is moving away for good tomorrow. His owner took voluntary redundancy from her job and as her house was tied to her job she is homeless as well so she is moving back to family near Aylesbury and taking Dexter with her. Bye bye Dexter. Hope all goes well for you. My friend who emigrated family, dogs and 3 horses to Canada came back to UK this week. We had lunch. She loves her life now. She has 49 acres, 12 stables and her own indoor school. She has joined the eventing association and has 6 places who run regular competitions within half an hours drive. Once the snow has cleared they will begin to build their own eventing course. She has already laid a riding trail around the land. We always have a great time together. Fall about laughing at the problems a new country brings. One of the dogs discovered skunks! Raccoons that poo on the rafters of the indoor school, it freezes and then they knock it off as they run along the rafter later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel155 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Feniks has not been well On Thursday night, he was absolutely fine when I left him. Friday morning went to yard to take him to field, put his rug on in his stable as I always do, then went to lead him out. He couldn't walk properly on his right hind. Felt his foot for heat and there was none. Thinking he had just a stiff hip as he does suffer with that slightly, I led him into the indoor school. He managed to walk around one lap and Steve felt him and said he had a very tight muscle. Put him back in his stable and went home to get ready for work. Before I went to work, I gave Helen a call, she is an equine physio. She promised to give him a once over that morning. Got a call from Steve at about ten to say that Helen advised I called the vet as she couldn't pin point the problem. Called the vet, who said she could be at the stables for one. Booked the afternoon off work. When the vet came, she felt his leg and asked me to walk him a few steps. She got her hoof pinchers and tapped his hoof and in one area he flinched. DId the pinch test, and he definately had a very sore spot. She said possibly a bruised sole or an abscess. Removed the shoe (could see then why she was a vet and not a farrier ) and she made a small hole at the sore area. Steve said he could hear a hiss of air and some liquid dripped out. A wet dressing was put on and we were given instructions to keep it wet until Monday. Yesterday, took him out of his stable and he was walking fine....thank God. He has been for two long walks, vet advised a couple walks on hard ground each day to get any infection out. Helen told me yesterday that she was really concerned that it was something more serious, she was very upset at the thought of Feniks not being right as he is one of her favourites at the yard. She honestly thought he had dislocated or even chipped his stifle. Edited March 8, 2009 by Angel155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_H Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 How is Feniks now? Has Loki settled Clare? We've had a hectic week, Easta has been kicked badly the vet thought she'd broken her leg on Wed. But it seems now its badly bruised and has a cut on it down to the bone. Mr Newt is a culprit so I am up for homg ideas, I've tried to send him to Trallwm but Lesley is wise to my plan And my other news is that a certain other chestnut filly.... has found her way home.
