Both girls trimmed on Sat­ur­day, both stood per­fectly with­out cross ties while being worked on, baby Greta stood duti­fully by momma watch­ing the won­der Phil do his work on her hooves. Every­one thinks Sor­cha is putting on weight, I remain skeptical...

Vet pulled blood on Thurs, inter­nally Sor­cha is doing fine, so that’s keep­ing me sane. I can’t thank my fan­tas­tic vet and Sap­phire Hills enough for the atten­tive­ness to my girls. Sorcha’s stall fan ROCKS and both girls are get­ting plen…ty of food and pas­ture time…we are watch­ing the grass intake a bit b/c I don’t know how long it’s been that they have been off it, but so far they are absolutely lov­ing it. And baby Greta thinks she’s a bar­rel racer, that’s for sure! Vet agrees as well, it’s not really scratches, nor mites we’ve been deal­ing with on Sor­cha, just some dry itchy skin and feather. I never thought it was either, truth told…I’ve got a rem­edy mix I’m ran past her and am going to try this week since I’m not too keen on the whole motor oil thing just yet! Besides, I already hung a wal­nut branch and celtic horse brass ‘ward’ I made out­side Sorcha’s stall with an old Rom ‘whis­per wish’ for good health…being the super­sti­tious rodeo lot they are there, I just got winked at and accepted, but I don’t want them to think I’m *that* weird! lol  It’s so nice to be in charge of the deci­sions for my girl and have a ‘team’ involved of peo­ple that are all on the same page here along with my vet. I’m feel­ing much bet­ter about the whole sit­u­a­tion, but a load of guilt for not break­ing away sooner. Bren is a loud­mouth and ‘spoke up’, but my Sor­cha is so quiet and a sweetheart.…Just count­ing my bless­ings that all the girls are as healthy as an ox each. Bren is work­ing with Keely 3 times a week now. Greta is now very much a curi­ous tot who we can touch all over and pick up her legs.  Well, that’s it for the update tonight! More to come this week and pic­tures as well.
