Our first day of Saturday lessons with Jeanne went great! We also had lots of boarders, leasers and FOCHF (Friends of Cobble Hill Farm) here all day.
But our day ended on a sour note when Sweet Pea was getting tacked up for his lease ride by "Amy" and her mom. It appears that he had a seizure. Dr. Dowd was here (yes, we have now ruined two of his weekends in a row, but he is really, really nice about it!) and stitched up Sweet Pea where he had some pretty bad cuts (either on the way down or the way up). I don't want to write much more speculation because SP is one of our most favorite horses in the barn and while I want everyone to know what is going on (the Hunt girls, Amy's family and several boarders were here for the excitement) I don't want to speculate. It was a scary incident.
Everyone's thoughts and prayers worked great with Bam's injury ... so please do the same for Sweet Pea tonight. He is comfortable, seems fine and is in his stall eating hay and a bit of extra grain he got to get him to eat the anti-biotics and little bit of bute to help the pain (one gash was pretty nasty).
We have so many great pics of him, but here is a good one of many.
