Hi all! Thought I would give you an update on Fits. *Warning: slightly graphic picture*

The good: this week the chiro was out on Wednesday and gave Fits an adjustment followed by accupuncture treatment. He was really out in his pelvis, poll and ribs. During his accupuncture treatment, one needs hit a hot trigger point and Fits did a very graceful buck as he was walking down the aisle. It was quite impressive, straight up and straight down, almost in slow motion and you never heard his feet hit the ground. He feels much better now. Also the vet was out on Thursday and took the stitches out of his face. Vet reports that he seems a much happier and relaxed horse at this barn. Even though he hasn't been turned out this week due to rain as well as the other OTTB biting him and other horses. Owner of other OTTB has bought a cribbing muzzle for him to wear while he is turned out. In his stall he won't have it on. That will just keep him from beating up on the others as he put a few good bites on Fits rump. I am pretty sure it is play behavior and he just doesn't know how hard he is biting. When I started keeping Fits inside, he started picking on one of the old guys (27 yr old arab). Its been long enough that the pecking order would have have been established already. I have attaches some riding pictures and these were pre-chiro adjustment. Sorry for the quality of the pictures, we have the mercury bulbs in the lights for the arena.

The bad: When the vet took Fits stitches out part of the flap of skin had died and he had to cut it off. So, I am left with an open wound to deal with. I have attached a picture of it (the ugly). Per the vet, I am to keep bacitracin, neosporin or furacin on it. He promises it will fill in and be ok. Even after the chiro adjustment he still has a little hitch in his hind end. The chiro tells me that he has no stifle soreness and no hock soreness. Chiro said to give it 2 weeks and I should see a difference. Vet says if no difference in 2 weeks it is likely that he strained/tore a ligament that runs down the back of his rump from the point of the hip. I am supposed to keep him in light work and it does seem to get better after he is warmed up.

Well, that's it for now. If anyone has any words of wisdom as to how to clean his face, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

you might try a treeless. i have a lot of friend riding CTR who love their
treeless saddles. if you get a treeless, make sure you get a GOOD one and not a
knock off. the knock off, cheap ones, like any other cheap saddle, can do more
harm than good!!!!

I have a black forest treeless saddle that i LOVE! get the vario pad to go with
it.

also, make sure it will work with your high withered horse. Works with mine, but
i had the company rep really check it out first.

Rainbow and I love ours! e-mail me off list and i can connect you with my dealer
friend, who can explain more pros and cons to you, if you'd like.

Well I love my aussie but it is messed up and I cant find anyone brave enough to fix it. My Arab mare went nuts and ran through a wire fence with it on bucking and farting the whole way. Well it tore one of the pooleys off and it is unridable in its present condition. I have queried what it would cost to get it fixed and it costs as much as a new one. Im thinking of undertaking it myself since most of the repair is cosmetic but I havent the time.

The aussie was by far the most comfortable and secure seat I have ever experienced. I do both western and english riding including hunter/jumper and cutting (yes im all over the board with my riding). We took it on a mountainous ride and rode all day anad did about 22 miles and i never got sore or really tired in comparason to my other saddles. My english is the next best one for trails and comfort, but it isnt as nice as my aussie.

Be sure if you purchase an aussie to get the autentic wool stuffed tree. It is easier to adjust the way the saddle sits on your horse and make it comfortable for them as well.

I"m enjoying this conversation- I had lusted after an Aussie saddle and asked the folks around here...well, in South Texas, I"m likely to get laughed OUT of the saddle- and as we weren't (and aren't) riding much, I set the catalog aside. I couldn't find anyone of my acquaintance who has actually ridden one.
My Western saddle needs repair whether I opt for Aussie or not- it's a nice old Buck Steiner saddle with minor repair needed. I still use it, but would like it fixed.

My knees don't much like rides, but the way the Western saddle is, the fenders are so low that I'm fighting the fender leather instead of the narrower strap where the stirrups are designed to sit. I'm short, but not THAT short, and I can't get the fenders pulled up far enough.
I like, too, that they seem to be fairly affordable.
Not really counting on a Christmas bonus at work, as rough as the year's been, we're still trying to stay afloat...but if we do get them, I may invest in one.

Yeah I love the Aussie saddles but I also sometimes trail ride with an english saddle. I find it to be as comfortable as the aussie. If you are looking to attach saddle bags and such, you can just use tie straps to attach it to the leathers to give it stability or there are some aftermarket rings you can attach to the english cantle that you can tie your saddlebags to as well. Horse doesnt get as hot and I find that my thighs and butt doesnt hurt as much either. My OTTB seems to like it better too.

Yeah, the face wound should be ok, I was just a little disappointed that that amount of the skin had died. We really thought that just the tip of it would. Oh well, I just have to deal with the hand that has been dealt.

Thanks for the lists, I will subscribe. It could be that his back feet hurt as well, he is getting wedge pads and shoes next Tuesday.

Hi Rhonda :)

Face wounds are notorious for healing well. Even with no vet care...

There are various methods the classical trainers use to help with lameness problems. JP's list is very friendly and there is also the classical list:

Hi AnnMarie,

I've seen this e-mail making the infamous e-mail rounds and the threat of mass euthanizations it is not true. Wisconsin law mandates that no healthy GH be euthanized and must be either adopted out directly or placed with an adoption group.

I know this firsthand as we have adopted 2 GHs directly through the Dairyland Adoption Center. They do a fabulous job, and this misinformation is troubling. I want all of these dogs to find homes, but not because there unfounded fear of mass euthanization.

Of the dogs on the grounds, 200-300 will be moved to other tracks and the rest will need to be re-homed through the park and other organizations.

The following is from the dairylandgreyhoundpark.com site.

"(11/19/2009) - DGP Important Closing - Dog Status

Wisconsin State law provides that the greyhounds are to be adopted to new homes, sent to another racetrack for racing purposes or returned to their owners. Our kennel compound will remain open until all greyhounds are properly placed.

We do not know at this current time how many greyhounds in total will become available for adoption until we finish racing on December 31st, 2009.

We do currently have greyhounds available for adoption in our adoption center. You are more than welcome to fill out an application at Dairyland or online at our website www.dairylandgreyhoundpark.com under the adoption tab at the top of the webpage."

Thanks!

Hey Lyndy,

It's very possible the buckets don't freeze at all, even in Ohio.� You had mentioned earlier that it was a QH show barn.......it could be insulated and warm enough they don't freeze.� And if everyone eats the same thing and it's in a cart it doesn't take long at all.

Well she advertised that it takes 40 minutes, so... That's what I went on. She
said right now it only takes her 20 minutes... But subject to change with winter
coming on, which knock on wood has been VERY mild for typical Ohio.. We would
feed from a gator and some horses do not eat grain, only hay, some don't go out
at all... So I think if I do decide to do this, I go around on a feeing in the
evening and see what all is involved and make a decision then.....  Thanks Lyndy

I'm moving my best friend tomorrow from Ohio to Virginia, so I got the weekend
to think it over. I fly back in to Dayton from DC next Wednesday... Its leaning
toward me packing some stuff next weekend and heading North... Don't have much
to loose if it don't work out. Talked to my parents, friends, guy I'm dating
(whom hasn't really stressed his opinion about it much, he sounded concerned)
and everyone says, its my life, do what you wanna do.... So thanks to all for
listening and the opinions and I'll let you all know what I decide ;) until
then, I gotta get my best bud ever to a new city and enjoy my time with her.
Gonna miss her so much :( my poor boys have a week off, they are on vacation
haha. Thanks again!  Lyndy

I have an opportunity to volunteer my Mornings and early Evenings feeding and watering all the horses at a lovely boarding farm in South Charleston Ohio in exchange for room and board. It is just outside Springfield where I currently board my boys. 40 miles from work, which is what i drive now... Its a small efficency furnished apartment with kitchenette and full bath... that is no bigger than the bedroom I live in at my parents house. All utilities paid, free cable, I can bring my horses..... there is a girl paid to do stalls.

Should I?

2 big 20 stall barns, 60 acres of turnout, 8 seperate paddocks (shelters in all), 100 x 60 indoor, trails on property, 1/2mile track, opportunity to give lessons and do trail rides for cash on the side....

I'm single, kinda dating someone, but we are only dating and have a full time job, and minimal bills. I think it would be fun, to live in a barn. Would you? I think I would keep Blue where I am now, and bring Clayton with me to have more one on one time where i can also have more time on my hands. living there and all... :)

if I can brave it thru winter... haha i've done it before.. just not living on the property.

LOL! I wish I had those problems too! I am busy riding on busy streets. As long as you can handle the added work then why not...I would be suspicious of it only taking 20 minutes to properly feed 40 head of horses especially in the winter time. But if the time is worth it then why not.

How many horses would you be responsible for feeding and
watering? Would you be responsible for turning out & bringing in?
Automatic waterers or buckets?  I could see the potential for this to
take up a significant amount of time if you're dealing with 40 horses, in
snow, wih frozen water buckets....
 
The facility does sound really nice!

Old Friends Satellite Opens in NY

Updated: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 1:39 PM
Posted: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 1:39 PM

Old Friends, located near Georgetown, Ky., has opened its first satellite for retired Thoroughbreds. Cabin Creek, a 40-acre farm just outside Saratoga Springs, N.Y., near Greenfield Center, will begin receiving horses immediately. An official opening and celebration is planned for July 22, 2010.

The auxiliary space will be named in honor of trainer Bobby Frankel, who died Nov. 16 after a battle with leukemia. A native New Yorker, Frankel was a long supporter of the Old Friends mission. The farm will formally be known as Old Friends at Cabin Creek: The Bobby Frankel Division.

Owned by Joann and Mark Pepper, Cabin Creek features 12 stalls, two round pens, five finished paddocks, and has raw space available for development and growth. The first resident, Moonshadow Gold, a 10-year-old New York-bred gelding acquired through the efforts of several equine-welfare advocates, will arrive later this week.

The property will be leased by Old Friends (Michael Blowen, president), a non-profit organization, which will continue to control all acquisitions and financials.

The Peppers, who built Cabin Creek from scratch 15 years ago, will handle day-to-day operations.

“When we built the farm my goal was to do Thoroughbred retirement,” said Joann Pepper, who began her life with horses as a groom for Nick Zito. “Initially we did boarding and foaling as a way to establish ourselves, but I always came back to the idea of retirement. I had read about Old Friends, and this summer an article in the Saratogian prompted me to call Michael. I explained that my farm was empty, and I wanted to emulate what he was doing. It just clicked that we would do it together.”

“This was just an amazing opportunity,” said Blowen, who finalized arrangements with the Peppers just last week. “I have always felt there was a need for Old Friends all over the country.

“While I was on my way back from Saratoga I heard about Bobby’s passing, and I immediately thought that a place in New York that was home to both top champions and bottom claimers would be a perfect memorial to his career. Any horse trained by Frankel will be given priority at Old Friends at Cabin Creek.”

The July 22 launch will be open to the public and will feature a memorial to Frankel. More information will be released closer to the date.

For more information about Cabin Creek or Old Friends contact the office at (502) 863-1775 or see their website at www.oldfriendsequin e.org.

Hi Lyndy! Sounds like a great opportunity. Would you keep your full time job? I have a hard time thinking it only takes 20 min to feed and water 40 horses. The barn we just left we had 46 to feed and they had automatic waterers in the paddocks where they were turned out and it still took at least an hour. When we brought them into their stalls for the night and we had to fill water buckets it was 2hrs plus. Is there any way that you can go over at feeding time a few times so you can observe how she does it? This would really be a dream job if I was young and single.

Click here: Why thoroughbreds go to slaughter and how to save them

So true... people THINK they are turning over horses to good homes, in many cases willing to pay and then creeps dump them. I hate 'tracking' things in general, but something needs to be done to protect this nefarious activity. I have a close friend with a horse she had raised and was totally willing to take back. She found out thru another person (she's actually on this board) about her horse being destined for slaughter -- thankfully the horse was rescued and has now found a good home. My friend is eternally greatful for the information that is passed quickly on the internet now.

A lot of these horses end up in tragic circumstances, not because people dont care, but because they dont KNOW.

All of mine, and many people I know, have "return to breeder, not for consumption" on their papers, including contact info. Not that some scum that adopts a horse under false pretenses would bother, even though I would always gladly outbid the meat price.

So thankful people are there trying to pick up the pieces... and so disgusted with our politicians.

If I were young and single I would jump at the chance. It would give you independence (no matter how old you are living in your parents' house tends to make you still their baby in their eyes), and it's not like you have to give up an apartment or sell a house and store all your belongings to do this. What a great adventure this ould be. And if it doesn't work out to your expectations, at least you had the experience, and gives you a chance to wortk with Clayton and earn extra money.

Good luck.
