Saturday
Didn't really do much today. Just played a couple of Parelli games and then left because it was hot out. But there was a lot that went on this week. Earlier in the week, Samantha's mom noticed that Nina wasn't acting right and that she couldn't pick up her head to eat her hay from her hay basket. She called my mom who called the vet and the vet said that there was a large swollen lump at the injection site from last weekend and there were hives on Nina's neck. Definitely still a reaction from the shots. So the vet gave Nina some medicine to eat for the rest of the week and then up until tomorrow. The vet was back out to check on everyone who got shots every morning for the rest of the week up until yesterday morning. Poor Nina. First the stitches on her nose, now this! And the vet also mentioned that a couple of weeks ago, some minis colicked from the vaccines too. So it's definitely the manufacturer's fault and the vet will be taking that up with the company. I'm just so thankful that Samantha's mom was there to notice Nina! Who knows what might have happened if the vet didn't get out there. One thing's for sure -- Nina wouldn't have been able to eat for a while if she couldn't reach her food =[ But by the time we got out there today she was definitely better and the vet had cleared her this morning.
I'm proud to say that Harry and I are making progress with the tarp! He didn't want to step on it, but I did pick it up and drag it on the floor while he walked with me and then held it and walked around with it while I held him too. Then when we were all finished, I brought it into the aisle where he was cross-tied and folded it in front of him really small, then showed it to him and rubbed it on him and he was okay with it. Progress will continue!
Sunday
I'm getting really discouraged. After Harry was working well all this time, he's not doing so hot anymore. He's all loose and flying away from me now that he knows how to largo and I can't figure out how to get him to slow down and collect without tugging on the reins and it drives the both of us nuts. And it was so hot today and I felt bad for working him so hard, but the next show is in two or three weeks, and I won't be able to go out to ride this weekend, so we don't have that much time to get back to where we were a month ago. I really don't know what to do and it's frustrating. I know he's trying to figure out what I want too, I just know that he's trying, but I don't know a better way to communicate that I want him to just collect and corto instead of flying around now, and that I still DO want him to largo, but only when I ask him to, not just all of the time as a default speed. I was getting really frustrated, but then I had to remind myself that we didn't work yesterday and that he was really behaving like he was trying to give me what I wanted. He wasn't fighting at all and I appreciate that. I just need to figure out how to ask him for it better. Hopefully this week off will give me some sort of revelation!

Day 220
What a day. I left the house at 7 AM and came back at 745 PM. I drove there this morning with only my brother because my mom wasn't feeling to good.
The vet came out today for spring shots and to float teeth. By the time we got there, Jane's horses were already done and we were just in time for the vet to start Brie. I asked him about giving her an arthritis shot, but he didn't have any on hand so he'll have to come back for that. He also took a good look at her and said that she should gain weight. We keep her on the thin side because of her insulin resistance in order to prevent a spike in blood sugar and develop laminitis like she did when she was younger, but the vet recommended changing her from 1.5 lbs of grain and 2 flakes of hay twice a day to 2 lbs of grain and 3 flakes of hay twice a day. We might just do this to get her up to weight and then cut back to 2 flakes again, because every one else is on 2 flakes and it just seems like a lot for her to metabolize.
So everyone got their shots and teeth done. Nina was terrible for the vet. She had pinned my brother and the vet against the wall at one point and the vet had to give her the tranquilizer one handed. We had planned on the farrier showing up right in time to trim them while the tranquilizer was still in effect, but he was running late so I had to go pick up the tranq in the paste back at the vet's office since he didn't have any on hand. By the time we got back, the farrier was there and the vet's tranquilizer was wearing off, so we decided to do Nina first since she was the most recently tranquilized by the vet and gave her an extra dose of paste tranquilizer.
The farrier got her hooves done. I went to go get Harry out of his stall and noticed that he was shaking. I didn't really think much of it and tried to give him a bit of the paste tranquilizer while he was in the stall, but he wasn't having it, so I brought him out. There I really noticed how badly he was shaking and knew that something was wrong. I called the vet's office and they said not to give him any more tranquilizer and not to do his hooves until the vet got out here again, so I gave the farrier Brie to do. While he was doing Brie, he said that she was also shaking, but not as badly as Harry, so I called the vet's office back and reported that to them. They said that they were on their way.
A different vet came out than the one who gave the shots and looked at Harry and Brie and said it was probably a reaction to the vaccines and that next time we should make note of the amount of tranq and the brand of tranq plus split the vaccines up to prevent this from happening again. She gave them both banamine and gave Harry cortizone (cortisol?) as well because he was extra shaky. They both had some grass and we chatted, then she left and said to watch them for about a half hour and call her back if they did anything strange like roll around excessively or bite at their stomachs, all signs of colic. We decided that the farrier would have to come back for Harry probably next weekend because we didn't want to stress him out anymore for today.
About 15 minutes into watching them after the vet left, Harry started bucking and kicking in his stall, pawing the ground, and rolling around, so I got him up and walked him and called the vet back. She said to keep walking him for about 20 minutes, put him back in the stall, and if he hasn't relaxed to call back and let her know because she'd have to come out again.
I put him back and began to watch him when my brother went to pet Nina and noticed she was shaking too. At this point, I began to wonder if it was a bad batch of vaccines, so I went to look at Taco and Sadie. Taco was shaking a little too, but not Sadie, so I called Jane and told her and she said she would be back out. I called back the vet, told her Harry was looking okay, but reported on Nina and Taco and she said she'd be right out again and that it was probably a bad batch of vaccines.
My brother went to grab some Subways for dinner while I waited for the vet. Before he got back, the vet returned which left only her and I to handle giving banamine to Nina. Nina tried to run us both over in her stall, and then tried to pin the vet against the wall on the cross ties and tried to rear onto me. The vet told me to get a lead rope with a chain and then put the chain between her top gum and her lip and I held it there like a twitch while she gave Nina the banamine and cortizone (cortisol?). By the time we finished with that, my brother and Jane were back and the vet gave the meds to Taco and Sadie as well. No one got grain for dinner and Harry and Nina won't get grain for breakfast because they were the worst tremors out of the bunch.
Jane called a while ago and said that she checked on them and they all seemed fine, thankfully. We won't have to pay for these emergency calls, but I sure hope we never have to go through a bad batch of vaccines ever again!

Day 159
I worked with Harry today. What a little punk, he tried to rear when I was going to flex him on the right side! At first, I got off and started to flex him from the ground, then I got back on and of course while everyone was watching he started to act up again. He started spinning me around until I kicked him to go forward instead of backwards. Then he stood still and slowly gave me his head on the right side. We did flexing for a few minutes until he wasn't giving me any problems anymore and then we worked on walking. He has a nice walk when he isn't all riled up, but after that it's kind of hard to get him to walk again.
His corto was kind of all over the place because Ray was in the arena cowboying another horse, so Harry was nervous. He settled down only when Ray left into a nice corto. After working a corto for a while, we tried to largo. He had a good largo for a while and then started to break into a canter. By that time his little brain was fried from the heat, so we all decided to go for a walk outside around the property. After walking up to Gary's house and talking to his dad for a while, Harry seemed to have the walking-outside-thing pretty much down pat and we walked very calmly while Brie was the one acting up with my mom. She just wanted to charge everything! She's so goofy, I swear. One day she's walking with a super loose rein outside, confronting deer and the next she's this insane little dinosaur!
Afterwards, we gave them all nice baths and my mom did a little talking to Gary about Brie's leg since it looked kind of swollen today. He suggested that if it keeps up even after we had the steroid injection in her hock that we should bring her down to the University's animal hospital so that they could study her and have more of a cutting edge team working to find out another solution. He made a good point: the vet won't think about it for very long, but she might serve as a good couple of class sessions for a whole swarm of new-thinking vet students! So we'll just have to keep an eye out for any more leg problems.

Brie's Vet Update
While we were gone on Saturday, the vet went out and injected Brie with a shot of steroids for her arthritis. We found out that it's nothing wrong in the stifle, that she just has arthritis in her hock. She should get some time off and by this upcoming Saturday she should be back to her normal riding routine! I'm so glad that this could be easily fixed and now she's not in pain anymore, although I'm sure she wouldn't have minded being a lawn decoration for the entire summer!

Brie's Vet Update
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you all know that the vet called today. From what he can tell, Brie has arthritis in her hock, but he's sent on the X-Rays for a second opinion in a neighboring county's animal hospital to see if there's anything wrong with the stifle. The vet tech said that so far, we shouldn't ride her until we get those results back (which we can't anyways, we're not out there during the week) and that riding now really depends on her stifle's condition. Her blood sugar was also slightly high for a horse that was fasting until the vet got there to draw blood, so once we find out what's going on with her stifle, we're going to make up a plan to attack both her blood sugar and how to deal with whatever problems she may have coming down the road.

Day 149
I have some good news and some bad news.
Good news is that Harry and I had a very successful ride today. We worked for about 2 hours! I never get him to myself for that long. I was super happy with his behavior at the start -- he walked! He's usually like a little freight train and just goes goes goes, but he was very relaxed at the start. We walked around and flexed for a while in the indoor then ventured to the outdoor where his attention started to get away from me, but was still pretty good. We kept our walking.
Then we traversed through the inside of the indoor and went out back in the huge pasture. That's where he lost his attention to me, instead too freaked out about everything going on outside. He got a little spooky and started spinning and trying to run back to the barn at one point, but we stopped, stood for a while and then headed towards the big hill and went up it, looked around, then went back into the barn.
Then we started to really work. The entire time I was focusing on keeping my hands quiet and properly positioned...I have a really bad habit of having piano hands, because, surprise, I play the piano. It's just natural. But I really focused on that and sitting deep and back today and rather than relaxing he seemed to want to go more and more until I started sitting more forward. Once I was a bit more forward he definitely settled into his gait better. After working on his gait, we started doing a little bit of transition work on the wall where it wasn't too successful, so we did in a circle. When he got transitions down in a circle, I started walking him to cool him down. I dropped my stirrups because my ankles were killing me today for some reason, probably from sickle-ing, and we walked pretty calmly. He was still super hot when I got off so I hand walked him for a good chunk of time before I gave him a nice bath, after which he was still hot, so I walked him some more until he was completely cool before I put him in his stall.
Now for the not so good news. The vet came out for Brie today. If you don't remember, she's been having some lameness in her back right leg for a while now. It kept going and coming, but even though we had her on stall rest for a while, she was still kind of limping when I rode her last week. Now, the vet came out and looked at her lunge (she was limping), gave her a full exam, noted a bit of warmth in her leg, and took lots of X-Rays. He said that seemingly at best she has arthritis and we can manage that with steroids. It's either in her hock or her stifle, and he kind of said that if it's in the stifle, it's not too good.
He basically told us that her show career is over. Depending on what's actually wrong with her, we'll know whether we can still ride her or not. If this is all from kicking her stall, I'm going to be so mad! I just hope she's okay. At first I was sad because I have to stop trying to do dressage and jumping with her now, and then I was sad because I wouldn't be able to really fulfill the goal of this blog: to blog until I won a 1st place in a class of at least 10.
But then, I realized that all of that has lost its value. As long as she's okay and healthy, even if she can't be ridden very much, it won't change how much I love her. She means the world to me, she's taught me everything I know about handling horses. She's given me a tough skin for the show ring. She's taught me patience and responsibility. Even if she can't be ridden, it doesn't mean I'll stop showering her with love.
And if she can be ridden, then I'll just have to work out being a great trail horse and I might still have costume classes to look forward to. Who knows -- maybe she'll win Nationals for costume. She's always been a looker =]

Day 142
I wish I had something more exciting to say that this.
The vet came out today. Everyone got their teeth floated and Harry got his, ahem, parts cleaned. While they were sedated we also shaved their ears, because everyone knows that there's no way we're able to do that while they're awake. Harry was hit the hardest with the sedative -- while it took a couple minutes to hit Brie and Nina, I let Harry stand for all of 30 seconds before I asked him to move and he started stumbling! I was trying to get him in the wash rack (how embarrassing) and he wasn't having it, so the vet just decided to sedate him right there in the aisle, then move him in afterward. Hopefully that will have a lasting effect!
It was a gorgeous day out today. I hope it's as beautiful tomorrow as it was today.
I also got new boots! Which is awesome, because my old ones started to get holes in them and it's safe to say they're not waterproof anymore. My mom found these beauties on sale at horseloverz.com!
I've wanted them foreverrrr.
Hopefully they're not super warm...they need to be summer boots!

Days 55 & 56
Saturday
Today I didn't do any riding because the vet came out. We had all three horses' teeth floated and they were given their annual spring shots. I would've taken pictures of them while they were all sedated, but I didn't want to embarrass them any more than they were while they were in our presence. While they were sedated, we clipped all of their ears. This is fantastic because they never let us get to their ears with the clippers (or anything, including fingers) while they're awake. This was especially important for Brie because the tips of her ears were DIRTYYY.
Sunday
It was kind of rainy today. I started off riding Harry in the indoor arena but was easily getting frustrated and upset so I went into the round pen outside to work with him in between rain showers. He calmed down out there while Brie was going pretty berzerk from being outside with mom. Nina looked fantastically calm, as usual, with Antz. After Harry was sufficiently calm, I went back inside.
I started getting frustrated again. So instead of being angry and letting him feel it and then possibly getting hurt and being counter-productive, I just got him to walk around the arena once, even if he wasn't on the rail, and then stopped. He doesn't like the rail because there are flags hanging on the walls. I think he'll get over that as he learns to trust me more because he doesn't have a problem walking next to the rail when I have him on a leadline.
I rode Brie. Immediately angry 1) because she was uppity after being outside and 2) because I HATE THAT SADDLE!! It is the WORST saddle in history in my opinion. Maybe it would be okay if I wore full chaps all the time, but it's for show, and I'm wearing tuxedo pants for show, and I definitely can not be sliding around and compromising my ribbon and safety in front of dozens of people. It's going on eBay this week.
I walked Brie back to the aisle to untack, had a good cry, and went on giving them showers.
In the wise words of Linda Parelli, "Don't get upset at your horse. Cry, let it out, end your session, and the next time you'll have a better day". I'll be watching more Parelli while I'm at work once I've caught up on all my homework.

In the wise words of Linda Parelli, "Don't get upset at your horse. Cry, let it out, end your session, and the next time you'll have a better day". I'll be watching more Parelli while I'm at work once I've caught up on all my homework.
