New News!

I haven't been posting in a while, just plain down in the dumps....  The GJA is lame and Keith's horse Tillie is lame as well.  Might as well call the ranch "Lame Acres".  Anyway, I found a new horse for Keith, since we aren't sure what the heck is wrong with Tillie.  X Rays, were inconlsusive, meaning it cost me $300.00 to tell me the horse is lame and we don't know why. I knew that before the $300.00. Next option is an MRI to the tune of $1400.00.   Chicken Poop!  So, until we decide what to do, I found Hubbby a new 2 year old.
So, this is "Shasta".  Yep, we bought him in Shasta.  He is a 2 year old.  Remember, my husband is 6 foot 3 inches tall.  This is a big colt.  Roping horse breeding and still a stud.  Gelding bus arrives next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, The GJA is lame in his hock and the vet blocked it as high as she could go and, yep, you guessed it....  still lame....  So, he is just plain on stall rest to see if it helps...
Well, at least the hubby is having fun.

I'm in LOVE with that new horse! Oh man he's pretty. droooool...
I hate doing Xrays to find out nothing. There's been days when I call the vet, whose office knows my voice, saying "This is the Crippled Critter Ranch. We're having a sale on stupid today".

Shasta is one good-looking young guy! Wow!
Awww.... I hope the lameness issues clear up. What a bummer - especially not having an answer. I hate that!
