ON the runway.. The girl in the tight pencil skirt. Thirty-one year old Precious is hard to fit, blanket wise. She does require protection from the freezing temperatures as she has some bald areas. She pays no mind to the leg hold straps that help keep everything in place.

A Thank you from Debbie..

THIS came up in our conversation at Debbie's Birthday Bash the other night. Here is Darlene dressed for the part as Miss Scarlet when we did a movie night at my house many years ago. It's a running joke at the farm. Told you Darlene I would look for the picture.

DARLENE is still a newbie at this "taking care of her horse" thing. We spent a good hour just removing ice from water buckets this morning when the WC dipped to -25 last night. Darlene's retired mare, Legend's Morning Glory" has been getting a lot of attention since she came back to Trillium. Kudos to Darlene for taking an active role in the care of her beloved Glory.

THE key to preventing a crisis in equine health care is fast instinctive action while seeking professional medical assistance.

Those in the stable have been aware of Libby's compromised vision these past 10 days. With Melissa's permission, we will explain further so that others may benefit from this observation.

Melissa had noticed a cloudiness in Libby's right eye last week besides the normal gunk in the corner of her eye she sometimes gets. Her gut was telling her to make an appointment with the vet the following day. The cloudiness progressed within 24 hours and was most concerning. The vet arrived to examine Libby and do a few tests.

There was no injury or trauma to the eye, nor any ulcer. The eye was not only cloudy but sensitive and inflamed. Her diagnosis of Uveitis (Moon Blindness) was devastating news since recurring Uveitis has no cure in the end. Treatment began immediately with a wait and see approach.

As the week passed, the eye did not appear to be improving, other than the swelling was reduced. Fearing Libby might lose her eye altogether, she sent more pictures and videos we took of the eye to the vet. Doctor E. decided to revisit Libby and do a follow up examination. This time the diagnosis was changed to Keratitis. It is still a serious eye disease but perhaps more treatable. After switching medications, there has been a dramatic (even miraculous) improvement within just 24 hours. Libby's eye has almost completely returned to a normal clarity. She will continue on this route of treatment for a few more days.

Libby will require careful monitoring of her eyes moving forward. Thanks to Melissa's keen observation when grooming her mare and her instincts to act on those niggles of caution, Libby is on the upward swing. (Before picture from a few days ago with a visible blue haze to her eye, to a picture from this morning.) Swift action can mean the diffence between saving a sight or losing it.

AND she was surprised. Her daughter Emma pulled it off and made Debbie's milestone birthday one to remember. Special thanks to Emma for inviting Debbie's barn people to her surprise birthday party at The Massey House in Newcastle tonight. Such a fun time we had!

JUST bustling in the stable this morning. I caught just SOME of the people working away at chores: feeding, watering, cleaning, chiro treatment, stall stripping, organizing bedding, etc. etc.

LIFE can be challenging on the farm some days. Glad to have all the extra hands this morning. (sound on)

THE short drive in this morning and I was relieved to see I had some help with chores. In fact, the ladies kind of took over. I did do several turnouts but started to feel unwell again. I begged off early and went home to finish fighting this bug. It sure is blustery out there and lots of snow. The only good thing is that it isn't too cold and the sun came out. That's a good sign. I still am snowed in getting to my front door with huge drifts of snow. I almost got stuck trying to navigate the driveway, but jockeying back and forth with my snow and ice tires proved successful.

HORSES are out for the day. Storm alerts are in effect but shift to more intense weather by tonight with falling temperatures to -13, WC of -21. Decided the horses go out as usual since most the damaging wind, snow squalls will be tonight when they are indoors.
