Not the best start

-


Welcome to 2026! The year of fun and no vet bills. Right?Well we made it all the way to January 6th without seeing the vet🤦🏼‍♀️ “A good run” as one of my barn mates put it. 
We are hoping it’s an abscess that exited through her coronet band and just irritated the leg causing the edema. 
But her SSA (the stall-side infection test) was 1180.  It’s supposed to be 0. 
 
So we got a goody bag of antibiotics. At least Napa’s new bags are cute!

Two doses a day for 10 days.  Mixed with a bit of TC Complete and molasses. See you soon 4am🥶 At least I can make it ahead of time and just drop it off  

I love my horse! I love my horse! (If I say it enough times maybe it will be true at 4am)

Fresh Start

  I decided we needed a fresh start. Ms. Sassy Pants came into my life in 2017. It's been a ride of one medical appointment after another since then. It has been frustrating but I can't say I haven't learned a ton. I've been told I could (should?) retire her more than once if I wanted too. But it was up to me. She never told me that's what she wanted. Someone even one told me I was "inhumane" to keep trying to find solutions. But I couldn't give up on her.  As of today we are W/T/C with a bit of jumping.  I have decided our new story (blog) starts today! August 11, 2025.  This is going to be mostly a diary of our adventures. The good the bad and the ugly. Hopefully with the only cameos of veterinary professionals being at vaccine time.  Onward!!!

New Digs

This last weekend Bunny got new digs! She now has the biggest stall on the property or the "Barbie Dreamhouse"  She has a new neighbor named Leon. ​ Creeper looking in on us. At least at this point she'd stopped weaving like a mad girl and no one was calling me to tell me my horse was nuts! Saturday was long as she got used to the change.   Beautiful view out the back at sunset. Yay Bunny! Much better set up for her. Now that she's chilled anyway!

Swag

So we are trying to think positive this year. Since I don't have an official barn team, I made my own. Sassy Eventing.    Here is our cross country shirt. She also has a stall guard with the same logo that my Mom got us for my birthday last year.   And stickers just for fun!  Here's hoping we get to use them!!!!!  ​
