Unfortunatly, I am at work, so going out and giving Meeso a carrot right now is out of the question. It is a slow DAY at work too, so I might head out early to ease my mind a little. I am a natural worrier, so for me to NOT think about all the what if's is near impossible!! Worrying was bred into me! lol
It just bites because I have never had to deal with an injury to my horses, except for Meeso's various little things she has done, but atleast I knew what caused it and it was easily cured!!!!!! This time, we haven't a clue, and that doesn't help me at all. and with all the Barbaro drama this week, it certainly has not helped my what if thought pattern!
I'm not trying to be overdramatic.. this is just me..LOL

I had Meeso's swollen knee x-rayed last night. The vet said she will call me this evening to discuss the results. OH I hate waiting! She said if it is...

APRIL ... Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday! LYNDY, And for Lyndy, I know telling you not to worry just doesn't cut it, but ultimately it never...
Laurie, I hope your mare heals well! What is this, all mares hurt yourself month!!! I know Meeso is an accident waiting to happen. She has been the entire time...
Yea, Meeso is thinking, "I'll be damned if Mom thinks I am going back into dressage training and showing in any low class schooling show this Spring!" LOL Well...
What exercises can I do to help strengthen my horses back end. I know going up hills but we don't have any around here. Thanks ... Be a PS3 game guru. Get your...
are there any places within trailering distance that you can get hills? There really is NO substitute for walking/trotting long miles up low grades! :-D ...
I dunno about strengthening the back, but I have seen people do a belly lift on the horses, to help limber up their back. -Sarah ... From: jes70s@... To:...
Lyndy, Worrying won't change the outcome at all, but it will add tons of stress to your day. I used to worry and fret over every little detail, but over time,...
I am very surprised that the vet said if her knee has a fracture then she needs to go to a special clinic! Usually, when a horse has a fracture, the vet...
Sarah, She basically said, if it was a fracture, that she would have to send me off because dealing with that was out of her abilities.... Probably meaning, ...
Hi Lyndy, Just wanted to share my experience w/ knee chips. My then 4 yr old gelding was goobering around in his paddock and ran into his water tub (one of...
Lyndy- My thoughts are with you and Meeso. Just don't be like me and read everything on the internet and worry MORE!!! I self diagnose all of the time and I...
Too late, already done my research LOL.. Now if the darn vet would just call!!!!!! I am worried more now that she is calling all her vet friends for advice on...
Hey Lyndy, Hopefully your vet just has some fuzzy spots on the x-rays that she needs some people to help interpret, just to confirm whatever it is she thinks...
I really appreciate all your advice. It goes straight to the heart. I am trying hard to not worry...... I just have my own setbacks now in my personal life,...
Sounds to me like you've got alot of things that deserve more worrying than Meeso! And money is something I tend to worry about, too. Things cratered for me...
Lexi - I know what you mean. I don't work at a vet clinic, but around the track you see some crazy things. We had one horse at the track that on race night got...
Yeah, Sarah, I wouldn't wish the bad stuff on anyone, BUT it sure does put the other stuff into perspective, doesn't it? I had to deal with an abcess the size...
well I called promptly at 6:01 when she told me to call. Left a message. Called again at 8:30 and left another message. She called back, said she has been out...
Not Lexi, but man, this story strikes too close to home -- little Zen was running for his life and tried to jump thru a barn window -- thankfully he ended up...
