After 4.5 years Fi needed another round of back injections. The lameness specialist vet has seen her a number of times over the years and it was so gratifying to hear him call her "a success story" today 😭 He was super happy with her hind end/overall condition and she flexed sound, too!

My local election results were pretty much as bad as can be, but so excited to be celebrating Mamdani, Spanberger, Sherrill, and Prop 50 tonight!

My poor Bea had to have 14 teeth pulled due to resorptive lesions last week. She is doing great but tonight at night check I got to tell Fiona that for once she isn't the animal who is actively stressing me out 🥲

Forever unraveling the ball of disfunction that is Fiona but little moments of good posture make me so happy

Today Fi's bodyworker said she is "very in tune with her own body" which is not a way I ever thought I would hear my horse described 🥹 I'm so happy she can comfortably exist in her own skin and enjoy new sensations without always shutting down or running away

Every year I am so grateful to have a local-ish horse laundry and blanket repair service (that even does pick-up and drop-off). I hate thinking ahead to blanket szn but it's so nice knowing I'll be prepared with clean, rewaterproofed, patched blankets!

That was a hard no lol. I ordered a Thorowgood T8 GP for us which is presently shipping from FL and the fitter will be back next month to look at it. I have heard very mixed things about Thorowgoods but it was affordable and I'm kinda looking forward to the ease of a synthetic saddle
My mom brought me a CWD saddle from a friend (who lost her horse a few years back) to try on Fi. I'm not usually a French saddle fan and at first glance I think the back panels are the wrong shape for Fi's loooong back but I do think it'll fit me and it's so nicely broken in!

I have to tell some people no and quit a few commitments (like a networking group, nothing dire) this month and I'm ughhhhh about it

Long story short we did not get to try the Thorowgood but otherwise the appt went great! Fitter is confident she can get a good price for my Zaldi and took it away which is a relief. Fi was well behaved, her new tracings show she's gained some good muscle, and we will get saddle recs soon!
Independent saddle fitter is coming Monday morning to take new tracings and bringing a Thorowgood for us to try. I'm excited to say goodbye to the Zaldi and buy what she recommends if that doesn't work!

I took no pics but I had such a nice afternoon with Fiona. She was perfect for her hoof trim, got a good grooming with some SureFoot time, fly boots on for the season and a new mask, and a celebratory roll in the sand arena before licking her bowl clean at dinner. It's a gorgeous summer day too!

I finally made the decision to consign my Zaldi. Saddle fitter is coming 7/7 to take it, bring a Thorowgood for me to try, and offer suggestions if that one doesn't work for us. It's a bummer but I'm relieved to have a plan
