I don't think I can resist it! Very nice offer. Will have to fit that in there between work and school

and trying to ride my own horses. I will have to make plans for that definately.

I know right Jessi! DL... here is a Sato kid who is being started under saddle that also might be going well enough for you to get up on.

White Pharaoh is a palomino and white gelding.

OR

Mirascotch who can be seen here and he is by Mirabeau. Video of him jumping. He is MUCH more advanced now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tUHDYffLCc

OR Miramaze who is just being started under saddle and progressing well.

And several more...

Just an update on my Sunny's Halo mare...and the reason why I haven't bred her.

Here she is a few weeks after I rescued her back: [img][img]http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m171/arcticcielo/sugar3.jpg[/img]

and her leg when she first came home[img][img]http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m171/arcticcielo/sugarsleg.jpg[/img]

taken beginning of May[/img]

and last week[img][img]http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m171/arcticcielo/sugs.jpg[/img]

Her gut is even larger then last week, and her udders are starting to fill. She still has about 2 months I would guess.[/img]

Someone should be on a fast track to hell for letting that happen to a horse.

OMG!! Was that cellulitis!? What caused it? Absolutely unbelievable. You're sure she's pregnant? She's so small.

ACC if you look at her from the rear she is huge. And she is even bigger then last week. Her udders look like they are starting to fill a little. She wouldn't be due until atleast September all the way until December if she is. I have the vet coming out, but I guess he is booked solid and can't come for another few weeks yet. I made my appointment about a month ago! Plus she is super cranky, and she has gotten that way with previous pregnancies.

She sure did recover quickly. She really isn't a hard keeper, you just have to feed her. And deworm her. Nothing special. No supplements.
Here is another mare I picked up that was also in a bad situation. She has already put on some weight. She might be bred to a saddlebred

what is wrong with people....

As far as her leg...not real sure what happened. I had the mare in 2003 and had her for almost 7 years. Her leg was already scarred up from a previous injury. This woman I got her back from said that her leg just split open. Not sure how that would happen. I had her for a long time and her leg never just split open. It has gone down a lot and looks better now. I had her on antibiotics from the vet and use equiaide-that stuff does wonders on proud flesh.

I had a mare who had a leg that just "split open." She'd had a previous shoulder injury that was closed and healed when I got her. A few weeks after she arrived I noticed some fluid built up around her knee. I sweated that and it went down. A week later, the knee split open up the forearm a bit and a load of puss poured out. The infection had hidden in the forearm. I'm just sayin' ...

I've seen that happen before too. Sometimes there's a teeny bit of foreign object in there that keeps it from healing completely.

I've also seen Purpura Hemorrhagica where all the legs blow up and are so swollen for so long that the skin dies and sloughs off. That is NOT fun to treat!!! :shock:

Your mare is likely to have lymphanigtis I have seem mares come to stud with legs like that they split open as the Leg is under pressure from the lack of drainage and the Lymph fluid runs out it is sometimes sticky and yellow but clear unlike pus hope she heals soon she would need ani Bs

accphotography · Postby **accphotography** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:18 am

That definitely sounds like cellulitis.

angrovestud · Postby **angrovestud** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:22 am

ACC your bang on its definatley cellulites I have the human form and if i get scatched or cut i blow up and get cellulites i carry antibiotics as it can kill me! your mare will be affected for the rest of her life she will suffer from this pooling of fluid so she would benefit from low stretch mulit layered bandaging overnight if shes in this will help her body to eliminate the fliud xx

So weird. I had her for almost 7 years with the leg injury already being there when I bought her. Amazing how this would all of a sudden happen with the new owner after 7+ years since the injury. I never had any issues with this leg with her.

She was already on a full dose of antibiotics and that really cleared up the drainage/pus. Its closing up and getting smaller. The girl had it wrapped with furazone so it blew up huge with proud flesh at first. I just hope the infection didn't get too bad. I have no idea when it happened and how long she sat without it being cared for.

Too bad for such a sweet mare. She has had some wonderful paint foals in the past.

I've seen cellulitis happen zero evidence of any external injury so it actually may have had very little to do with the initial injury there.
