I'm really not a fan of posting things like "Yeah, I agree with commenter so-and-so", which usually leads me to keep my mouth shut if what I'm thinking has already been said. <BR/><BR/>Rest assured that you have an avid following. I'm just not sure where you find the time to write so much!Dressage Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741448152235721941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-55676690047241348412007-10-05T19:22:00.000-07:002007-10-05T19:22:00.000-07:00kathy c, All I can say is I guess I never expected...kathy c, All I can say is I guess I never expected it to be easy. And I wanted it so bad, I just coudln't let go when stuff happened.<BR/><BR/>equinespirit, I can't imagine what would have happened to her either. Frankly, I'd rather not think about it.<BR/><BR/>molly, maybe the next post will explain part of it. As odd as this might sound, I'm pretty sure they love their horses.<BR/><BR/>Mary, glad to see you!! I didn't know I was part of your morning routine. Thanks for speaking up!! And please give Aidol hugs from us all! <BR/><BR/>lady of chaos, I will pass your congrats on to Bil. He works very hard and loves that team. I swear he puts as much passion into that as I do my horses! <BR/><BR/>As for the calcium deposit, my understanding is that anytime a bone is injured it produces calcium. Very simply stated that's what OCD is. So if she was hit hard enough to crack the bone, calcium would result in the surrounding area. <BR/><BR/>arthist99, I've posted their version in the next post. You'll still have questions, as do I.<BR/><BR/>donna, glad you don't let the lurkers bother you. Wish I was a casual about it.<BR/><BR/>I am glad to know that my stories inspire. Thanks for letting me know that. It helps keep me writing.<BR/><BR/>barngoddess, it is exciting that Bil's team is doing so well. They work very hard at it.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm not sure why it even occurred to me to have the vet document the mare's condition. That was one of my brighter moments! lol<BR/><BR/>I'm going to focus on this mare for a while, after all, she was to be my special mare! <BR/><BR/>hiddenheights, thank you for stopping in! It is nice to meet you. I hope you will comment again. It's nice for me to have a name to go with the numbers that I see! It helps to keep me going here!!<BR/><BR/>lori, yes, I am excited about Bil's success. I just had no one to share it with so decided I would share it with my blog family!<BR/><BR/>I remember about you and Wiggle. And I thought of this mare at the time of your posts about her. It surely is a heartbreaking thing.<BR/><BR/>I already had my next post written but added a portion to address how I dealt with them and why. I didn't do what you expected but it will all come together in time. I had a plan......<BR/><BR/>Thanks to everyone for commenting. It's really nice to have the feedback. It helps keep me motivated. And a special thanks to the newcomers here hiddenheights and Mary! thanks for saying "HI" <BR/><BR/>So the rest of you will know, I sold Mary her very first horse, an Arabian of course! Some day this winter I hope to post that story.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-41963299653277132722007-10-05T18:09:00.000-07:002007-10-05T18:09:00.000-07:00I also wanted to add that those people were very l...I also wanted to add that those people were very lucky you werent there to receive the mare, from what I know of you thus far you would have torn a strip or two off of them and they sure did deserve it. I am interested to hear if you had contact with them and what they had to say.<BR/><BR/>LoriLori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-71871505760193296192007-10-05T18:06:00.000-07:002007-10-05T18:06:00.000-07:00Woohoo on Bil's Volleyball team and their success,...Woohoo on Bil's Volleyball team and their success, great job!!<BR/><BR/>As you know I went through the exact same saga with my filly and getting her back starved at the beginning of this year so I can feel your pain and the sick feeling you must have felt at the sight of her. Wiggle had supposedly been ridden right up until I got her back and I was appalled that anyone would have ridden her in that condition. It is still debateable whether she was ever actually ridden because I turned her out to pasture and that is where she still is. When I bring her back probably at the end of this month or sometime in November we will tackle that then and see what she knows.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the next instalment and I am so glad that you took this mare in to give her a better life.<BR/><BR/>LoriLori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-14588971186350524742007-10-05T12:26:00.000-07:002007-10-05T12:26:00.000-07:00You made me feel bad with the "lurking" stuff. :) ...You made me feel bad with the "lurking" stuff. :) Usually everyone says everything I'd have to say.....I just enjoy reading your stories and learning from your experiences.
