Location: 31 lengths farms | CC is doing well, she is urinating a nice flow now. Took about a week or so for her body to really figure out that it no longer had to posture constantly. A good friend loaned me her Bio Scan machine and we will be doing that weekly for quite some time too. The vet recommended she stay on the Herbs and the essential oils, all of the vets that were on her case at UC Davis were impressed with her physical condition and the fact her kidneys were still functioning fully. They also marveled at how easily her stone that was in the bladder broke up enough to get it to pass thru the urethra. |

Location: 31 lengths farms | I will try to get some updated photos of her but she looks a little like a patch work quilt right now due to the shaved spots on her sides, neck and rear end, LOL!!! Last night Dave asked me, I think searching for Christmas present ideas, what I wanted or needed for myself. I simply could not think of anything...I have everything I could ever want right now. All 3 horse are sound and CC has that gleam back in her eye ready to take on the day. I'm sure when the weather settles down and I get a chance to get back on her I'm going to wish I had asked for a Magic Seat.

| My mare is finally back. She tried to buck me off when I got back on her. I was actually glad she felt that good. So needing a magic seat could be a good thing. Lol |

Location: 31 lengths farms | Thank you Jake16,I appreciate the kind words. The vet student that was put in charge of her at UC Davis is doing her Ground Rounds Presentation
I wish the like buttons were back so I could "like/love" everyone of you that has stuck with me and bounced ideas for me or sent a prayer up for us. I hope to keep bugging you all for years to come with updates about this little mare and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to purchase the shirt from Ranchdressin/ "Fear the Little Red Horse!" |

Location: 31 lengths farms | We got hit last week with a big storm, had to move the mares up from the lower pasture and split a pen out back for them. Good thing we did, the creek came over the berm on the west side and we had about 4.5 foot of water in what used to be the pastures. Its happened before a few times in the 40 some years we've lived there. Yesterday it had dried up enough, I walked the fence lines and pick up a bit of debris that had come thru and let the mares out for some "play" time. My big mare wore herself out in about a half hour, sweating and tired and finally settled down to eat some hay I had thrown out to them. Not CC. She ran and bucked and ran some more for over an hour, settled down long enough to eat a little hay, rolled and went on another running bucking spree for a good half hour, trotting the fence line trying to get the gelding on one end or the big mare to run with her, no takers. When I brought them back up the big mare was flat footed, head down, tuckered out. By the way CC trotted and pulled on me I think she figured she had just gotten warmed up for the real action. She urinated once out there and there was no blood in her urine. |

Location: 31 lengths farms | Indeed S&T!!! Which is why we really did not want to do the stone removal abdomenally...She sucks at being on stall rest of any kind, hence the reason she was in a large pen after the fractured patella. Figured if she made it thru the surgery she would have committed suicide in the first 2 weeks of the mandatory 4-6 week "quiet in a stall" period.
