CHOW TIME

Truffles decided to be a little camera shy as well as a little dirty from rolling around in her shavings, but I wanted to add a new post.  She is wearing a fly mask because the flies get a little pesky around this time of year.  Her legs are wrapped because, when she lays her large frame down, she scrapes up her front fetlocks a bit and I hate that. I keep her legs wrapped to keep her from having scabs all over her fetlocks.  With that information out of the way, I can give you the update.  It has been a little short of a year and my vet pronounced her 100% sound.  No more MRSA, no neurological damage, her eye blinks, she makes tears, and her ear swivels.  She lets me ride her bareback or with the saddle and everything is as it was before all this happened. Actually, she has gone from a silly filly to a mature mare.  She is a little more serious about life, now.  We have all noticed that change in her.   It was a terribly long road. It was one of the most stressful things in my life.  It was worth the work and worry. It was expensive to treat but my horse is not just a horse, she is family.  I am glad she is back.
