Horsy Update

I managed two rides on Otoelene last week. 

They were both in the barn but I did skip lunging her first. Before my injury in November I never felt the need to lunged her.  But after the injury it gave me a little more confidence before getting on.

Both ride went fine, no issues.

It had been a month since Draper’s stillbirth. Her vaginal hematoma had healed and it was about time for her to be coming back in heat. Her ultrasound was great, no infection and a developing follicle. We took her back to the stallion Wednesday.  Hopefully, I will get a good update from that soon. 

Then today I got to keep Allie by herself.  I took her for a walk and she asked to brush Otoelene. Of course you can. 

She did a lot of brushing but did not want to ride. I could tell Otoelene was expecting a treat since a small child was involved. But Allie is not Sadie and never reminded me about the treats.  I am pretty sure Allie would not have wanted to hold the treat anyway. But at least she wanted to do the brushing. So I feel she is making progress.
