On the Mend

My 24 year old horse, Star, is on the mend.

I let her out during the day in a small side pasture.

Unless it's raining.

Or.....it looks like rain.

Or.....it's predicted to rain.

Because after keeping her injured leg dry for over 2 months.

(Doctor's orders)

I am not willing to take any risk.

Or let her, either.

Star Girl

Well, my Star Girl got injured.

The vet says we may never know how.

So she is stuck in a stall 24/7 until she heals.

The main reason being her leg can't get wet.

So she's high and dry and munching as much hay as we give her.

My Star Girl turned 24 years old this June

and she has always been an "easy keeper".

In fact, this is the most trouble she's ever been in.

And I don't think there's any danger in her liking the stall

 better than her pasture.

When the time comes to open that stall door wide again,

I'm sure she won't hesitate to run headlong to the wide, open,

GREEN GRASS!
