malia rides again
August 23rd, 2006
the vet was out a few weeks ago and gave our injured horse malia the thumbs up. he said there is NO sign of lameness from her injury. he gave us the ok to take her riding, so lauren and i took java and maila on a brief jaunt around the neighborhood.
malia is a sweet and honest horse. she has been very patient with the extensive treatments and fussing with her legs. she has gotten weary of having her back legs touched but lauren and i have been working with her and lauren is doing horse yoga on her legs. malia is more easily spooked than when she arrived and we are working with her on rebuilding confidence.
there is a parelli horse trainer who has started to board her horse next door! how lucky for us. lauren met the trainer when maila was transported to the horse farm up the street for the first week. it may be time to put our round pen to use (it has living posts so we were waiting for the roots to securely take hold).
