How's it working for ya?<br /><br />Kristen...thank you for stopping by! I lost my wonderful 14 yo TB mare to colic five years ago. I still miss her. My husband lost his gorgeous little paint mare to colic 7 years ago. Colic is nasty, nasty, nasty and so scary. And unfortunately, no matter what we do to try to prevent it, you just never know what's going to cause them to colic. I wish too that they could tell us exactly where it hurts. That would make things so much easier!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283334035989645291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-23919315859082408722010-01-28T18:01:01.639-06:002010-01-28T18:01:01.639-06:00Whew..I just found your blog and always get a pit ...Whew..I just found your blog and always get a pit in my stomach when reading about Colic. My 8 yr old OTTB colicked this Oct and unfort we weren't so lucky as it brought on a severe case of laminitis. Ugh..but we are getting by and I'm lucky to still have him, as there were many, many touch and go. Why are these boys so fragile?! I wish they made horse sized tums!!! Actually, no, if I'm wishing..I wish our horse babies could TALK! :)Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-87250852664124442582010-01-27T13:58:33.768-06:002010-01-27T13:58:33.768-06:00Yea..with ya on the wet ick here too...warm enough...Yea..with ya on the wet ick here too...warm enough to make soup of fields. I am trying to get my PBO to rotate/divide..but she is not the planner I am. Someday will get to test my theory out on my own property!<br /><br />So get this...my sissy was here for 15 days and out of that time we got to ride 5 times only..it was sooo bad. The day after she left..sunny skies, the next and also today! And I am working!<br />Well,...spring is coming and then we may cheer up and have other things to think about!<br />So glad Gabe is better and to answer the shadow roll question for Wa mare...I wanted to see if it would help here to look/stretch more at low speeds and to look less at high. Make sense? Plus..I like the way it looks! No harm so far, though she did pull the wide open mouth on me cause I had to take the flash off...not riding enough and she is rearing to go!<br />Kacallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-55617485332824857612010-01-26T09:05:32.755-06:002010-01-26T09:05:32.755-06:00Thanks Jenn - looks like we will be OK....this tim...Thanks Jenn - looks like we will be OK....this time! V and I are actually working on an alternative evac plan, as it seems this will be more and more of a problem. With the drought the past 5 years we have rarely had to move them. When the ground thaws we will fence in a few acres she owns across the street on high ground, put up a shelter and shed for hay/feed storage. We will sleep much better at night!Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820494458669251616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-62506359717113970002010-01-26T08:59:44.011-06:002010-01-26T08:59:44.011-06:00Nice top ten list!

And I took advantage of that - with the longest shower I have ever taken in my life. It was amazing! So take that excess water vapor!!<br /> <br />Off to upload more mud/flood/horse pics at <a href="http://unionsquarestables.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Union Square Stables</a>..

Seriously, I feel your pain. Rain was...Attic?? lol.<br />Seriously, I feel your pain. Rain was one of the reasons we moved away from the SW of England. Yeah the summers where hot and that was nice but it RAINED all the time. We had a tiny acerage and it didn't matter how warm and wet it was grass couldn't grow because the horses turned everything to mud.<br />Mud used to seep through the hard standing on the drive and by June I would be very fed up of only being able to get in the car with the aid of wellies :(<br />Scotland is colder but its mostly drier and it means my horses can live outside for most of the year.<br />SO yeah..I get where your coming from. xKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198712369425823683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-91208099703279700342010-01-25T12:37:40.484-06:002010-01-25T12:37:40.484-06:00I hate to say I'm glad to hear it's not ju...I hate to say I'm glad to hear it's not just me dealing with all this extra rain, but boy, I'm glad it's not just mean cursing and shaking my fist at the sky every time it opens back up and dumps more wet on us! <br /><br />I hope you don't have to move your horses! I really should be a better horse owner and come up with an "emergency plan" in case I ever did have to move them in an emergency. Right now, all the boarding barns I know are FULL, so I really wouldn't have any where to take them.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283334035989645291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-78490107193464655312010-01-25T10:48:04.769-06:002010-01-25T10:48:04.769-06:00Hey Jenn!

Our farm is right on the French Broad River, and we are holding our breaths to see if we will have to move the horses - AGAIN! Good luck to you!Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820494458669251616noreply@blogger.com
