I am riding Biasini!
Today I rode Biasini and did some trot work. This is the first time in almost 7 months that I have done any trot! And interestingly enough I found it easier than the last time I did trotting. Why? I think that all those hours I spent walking in Florida with Lynsey Rowan walking beside…

Some Very Good News!!
I am giving thanks to the horse Gods today. The vet came to do an ultrasound of Biasini’s injured leg. She said the injury is looking “very good” and she had trouble even finding the injury on the ultrasound! When she did an ultrasound a month ago she said the injury had filled in but…

Today the vet came and did an ultrasound to see how Biasini’s tendon injury was healing. The good news is it’s filling in well.

Today I had another lesson with Lynsey Rowan. It may look like riding a horse at the walk is like sitting on an ambulatory armchair. But nothing could be farther from the truth! If I am riding in a lesson with Lynsey I am doing all the same things I would be doing at the…

Walking, for six weeks,on firm footing.

I knew it could happen but…
” If this was a 5 year old horse I could say he absolutely will come back. But this horse at 18? He may not come back.” This is what the vet said after looking at the ultrasound images of Biasini’s injured leg. I knew that as a ‘senior’ horse he might not heal up…
