Today is not a good day. We've had to take Fox off his meds for the
3rd time. He is lathargic and not eating and his motor skills have
gone downhill. He lists to the left and has trouble even walking. My
vet is contacting the Navigator manufacturer and is to get back to me.
We have him on the Bute again since there is some heat in his feet as
well. Send those good thoughts our way - we need all we can get. This
is the first time I am beginning to lose hope that he will recover. I
only hope it's not as bad as I think it is. Later, Christy

*hugs* sweetie.

A friend of mine's horse was on the other meds and got much worse
before he got better. Keep at it. Getting over a nasty case of EPM
takes a long time.

Deb

Christy,

I'm thinking of you both!

Hi Deb,

I sent you an email regarding contacting the event organizers.

In any case, this event will be just like the jousts at the Tower of
London, this past September and the regular jousts at the Royal Armouries.

Cheers,

Jenn

Great interview!  Way to go Jeannie!  I really loved Roger's comments
as well!  A ladies' man, through and through!

Those of you who were at the Liberty Network’s Sidesaddle@USET weekend just a few weeks ago might remember Diane Toomey, a reporter who was doing a story for National Public Radio.  Well, her story airs on Saturday! 

 

AND you can hear the piece anytime on the web, beginning Saturday morning, at  www.onlyagame.org.  How cool is that?

 

Diane wrote that Roger Philpot, Janet Brown, junior riders Emma Hartley and Sara Bean, and I will be in the story.  I know she interviewed others, so who knows who else you may hear!

 
Kit - you deserve a special kudos for attracting this sort of national attention for the sport!

 

I'm eager to learn to ride side saddle. Of course, now is not a good
time because I just found out that I'm pregnant! However, I would
like to find ladies in New York State (preferably the Capital Region)
who could advise me.

Thanks,

Kate Scott

They were rather stand-offish. I walked through the stables on the way
to my car because I was performing there one weekend ask stopped to
look at the horses. One big burly guy hautily asked me if I needed
help and I said I was just looking at the horses and asked him what
they were. He shortly said, "draft horses" and it was obvious I was a
nuissance. *whatever* Sorry I took an interest in your horses.

My favorite spot for jousting is the Royal Armoury at Leeds. They have
researched the old breeds, equipment and fight manuals. No big draft
breeds or mocked up Western saddles. And they do Japanese horse
archery too. Way cool!!

Hi Barb,

Unfortunately I won't be going, there will be another event in April
as well that I will be going to, however, I know the event organizers
and can probably swing some photos for you.

Hi Ladies,

For those of you living in Southern California, there is going to be a
historical joust on Saturday, October 27, 2007. This event is not like
those seen at Renaissance Faires and the like. This is an unscripted,
un-choreographed sporting event. The time period represented is the
late 15th century.

Of interest is one of the Lady judges for this event, she is the Poway
Rodeo Queen for 2007, Miss Brittany Banning. She will be riding aside
for the event in a medieval gown.

For more information about the event and to see images and profiles of
the competitors, go to: http://www.worldjoust.com

It's promising to be a great event for the family and horse enthusiasts.

Another disappointing day.  Called the vet this am and we have to skip
another day of treatment and get him on some bute.  He's trying to
founder again.  Not so badly as last time so I hope it will be a minor
setback.  He is losing his appitite and is not getting as much grain as
I would like.  Still, he is grazing (yesterday was 8 hrs on pasture).
I am worried that he's not getting the corn oil he's supposed to.
Wonder if I could spray oil on the whole pasture?  At least the farmers
around here have cut the corn down.  His pasture buddy has been seen
reaching through the fence so I've been worried he was getting into the
corn - NOT what he needs.  At least that's one less thing to worry
about.  Just another day in paradise,  Christy

Sorry about the massive cross-post, but this news is too good to not pass on to everyone we can.  Please feel free to send it around to your local horse society or any other groups.

Had a tough weekend.  Fox foundered on Sat. so we went back to the
vet.  We stopped the Navigator and got him on bute.  He was good Sat
night and Sun morn.  I gave him more bute Sun morn and he's been good
since.  Called the vet this morn and he gave the ok to start back with
the Navigator.  Tommorrow will be tense.  The first 5 days you only
give them 1/2 the dose.  That ended today so tomorrow it will be the
FULL dose.  I'll be holding my breath that he will not founder again.
I caught 2 young possums last week and last night my neighbor got
another one. He is shooting them for me but it really seems like they
are over runnig us this year.  I wonder if the dry summer has made food
scarce?  I have my trap set but I hope there are no more!  Thanks to
everyone for all the encouraging thoughts.  It REALLY helps when
someone says their horse had it and recovered just fine!  Gives me
hope!  Later,  Christy
