Well this weekend was a busy one for me, Shaun was working all day sat, and off to the car racing in Ashburton Sunday.
Sooo Sat I got the dreaded gardening done!! arghhh hate that stuff, but looks better for being done.
Then did some work with the babies, They have both been mouthed but Abbie was sure she hadnt been at Dys the other week, so they both had a spin in the round pen with the lunge roller and loose side reins.
Ben was his normal perfect self, Abbs had a few tanties, but got over them... to finish after I had taken their gear off I walked then over the hill at the back of the garage (well mound)... Abbie went to hoon up past me, but I turned and looked at her and she stopped... Fantastic as this was a horse who would try to barge into/past when she felt like it....
Billys eye has been sore since his bute has worn off and he is jumpy and uncomfortable... so I am looking at trying him on some devils claw....
Sunday I lonreined both the babies, Ben again was perfect.... took him into the jumping paddock and had him going nicely around (not over) the jumps and walking over some poles on the ground.... we even had reasonable brakes and had a wee trot...
Abbie, did exactly what I expected and threw a tanty... however she soon clicked out of irt, and was then perfect! turning beautifully and even managing some nice halts... all the while in a natural head carage, looking very pretty... No trotting for her, but she was also walking over poles on the ground, and eyeing up the jumps!!
Billy had a run in the pen and his eye cleaned and zapp ed with the light again (twice) on Sunday.. he picked the yellow lens this time, so we will see how it goes...
Will ring the vet again today and see if she can come and have a look again... still no bill either...

Busy busy
Well, we made a start on the round pen, have gone for 18mtres, and this seems a good size. Have got some tress planted as wind break for when I get the crusher dust surface... looking out for some hose for the railings...
Billys eye, has started to puss through his suture wounds, I managed to coax some nasty looking stuff out of it tonight. Tried the clear light tonight, and he stood like a rock, so very happy with that. I have cliped him and added a $$ sign, for his name and what he is costing me...
Have also done a bit of work with the babies tonight and taken a few pics of the fuzz balls. Thursday, April 23, 2009
Round pen..
After using Dys round pen at the weekend I have decided I need one...
I am a bit confussed as to what size, but think I will aim for a 15 mtre one.....
Marked it out last night, so hope to be getting sorted with the hole digging etc tomorrow!!

Eye ball update
Vet has been out again and had another play..
She was a bit worried about Billy having an abscess somewhere, the injection is a bacteria, so no abs for this boy..
I have upped his garlic intake (thanks to KA for a huge bag)...
I have also looked out of the square and have had an energy clensing/healing done on him. will post the link to the web page at a later date.
This am he has some puss coming out from a suture hole (has healed, but a weak point)

Ups and downs
Friday was the day for Billys injection. I brought him up and had a wee ride around bare back with a halter and had the best time.
Vet came and injected his eyelid (he was sedated again and given nerve blocks)...
Sat his eye looked terrible, swollen and full of puss. I bathed it and put some ointment in it.
Later that day I gave him a brotrophen (sp) light treatment as KA was kind enough to lend me one.
I phoned the vet to check things were as they should be, she was at the races, so another vet who lives locally came around... he was happy with it so Billy was put back on bute and I was to put cold face cloths on it to help keep it cool.
Sunday I headed to Dys place with Abbie, as Billy couldn't be taken out... What a star she turned out to be, loaded her by myself (has only been floated ones over a year ago) and travelled really well.
At Dy's I unloaded her myself..
She then had a run around the round yard, and with thanks to Dy and Sharpie I manged to back her... YAY!
Gave her big sis a make over for sale and took lots of pics of her. Had a wee ride, she is a lovely wee girl.
