an update on Bom, I changed the poultice a couple days ago and the again yesterday and there was nothing on it. Frustrating as I was really hoping to have a clear answer this time 😭 thankfully she's improved a lot quicker than she did the last time and is now barely lame, but occasionally will take a few really ouchie steps.

Got a new trimmer coming out next week, maybe she will have some insight into what might be happening.

that beautiful season...

Summer --

filled was the air

with a dreamy and magical light;

and the landscape lay

as if new created

in all the freshness

of childhood."

An older painting I never got around to posting. I've always really enjoyed painting golden hour lighting especially on grey or white horses.

Vet came yesterday afternoon and dug around for an abscess. She followed a tract fom a crack in Bom's hoof as far as she was willing to follow it. Bom wasn't too happy about it, I took that as a good sign since last time when they dug around she didn't really care. Nothing came out but she poulticed it and gave her some IV bute and said to give her a couple days and see if it drains. Well this morning Bom was walking 10x better! The vet said to leave the poultice on for a couple days but since she's so improved I'm thinkings the abscess has probably burst and wondering if I should change it this afternoon? If it's draining I don't want to trap the gunk in there.

Fat Horse No. 20

It’s the year of the horse and I’ve always been a horse girl at heart, so I’m finally taking advantage of the excuse to fill the world with fat little horses! These felted friends are about the size (and shape!) of an apple, and if you happen to have any apples to share I’m sure they’d help you out! You know I had to make a pigeon once I decided to do a pegasus. The chest features Angelina sparkle fiber for that flash of iridescence!

This piece is SOLD but I’m already hard at work on a herd of new ones for Furrydelphia, August 7-9th!

Ended up calling the vet. Last time she was this lame for almost 3 weeks and then suddenly got better over a couple days. No sign of burst abscess or anything. Hoping this time maybe it is an abscess and can be relieved quickly or at the very least we can get some sort of answer :/

It's so crazy that a horse can be >20 hh and a human can be nowhere near close to that, and the horse will dutifully follow the human around

Bom is dead lame again, same foot as last time 😫 We never found out what caused it last time, she was hopping lame for weeks with no improvement and then it just suddenly got better.

[black-thoroughbred]

Gave her bute and locked her up this morning, she was a lot better by the afternoon. Good to see some improvement, last time she was hopping lame even with bute 2x a day. I'll see how she is in the morning but hopefully I can avoid another vet bill.
