Vet Recheck and T-18 days!

Our vet was running a dental special for February so the whole barn (minus a single horse) hopped onto that deal. We also all added in a lameness recheck. 

Miss Henny, I will miss her, she moves to a barn closer to her mom in a week.

Gwyn has doubts about the new vet tech

We started with a lameness evaluation to see how she's getting on with the rehab work I've been doing. I was complimented on the changes to her topline and got clearance to start adding trot work back into Gwyn's routine 5 minutes at a time. 

Gwyn is about 80% sound and that may be the best we get as a recovery. She's got a twist on the left hind that we both think is more than postural but ends up causing weakness leading to injury. With Chriss and I getting Gwyn to work much better through her back we're correcting for some of that poor mechanical movement but there will always be a risk of injury because of it. 

I'm just happy to have reached the end of a tunnel with light to see. This injury was probably the best thing that has happened to my riding, with it forcing me and Gwyn to really drill into the basics and stay at a walk to perfect things. And that will help me be all the better for Leche. 

But she loves Vet Claire

Interfering with spring shots cause she wants cookies

Mouth looked great

Her teeth were unremarkable in that we had perfect timing for the float. No excessive hooks or wear, just easily correctable items to keep her at her best. 

I showed her pictures of Leche and we discussed nutrition options and the best way to keep her happy and colic free after the stress of traveling. 

This resulted in me putting in an order for ulcergard for the trip to dose the day before, day of, and two days afterward. The trip is getting closer and I'm so excited!
