Now You See It…

Now You See It….

After 6 weeks, my vet has reversed his diagnosis of a fracture of Charm’s coffin bone. He said to me, somewhat sheepishly, that when he looked at the xrays from 6 weeks ago on a higher resolution screen in his office, he thought he might be looking at the frog line instead of a fracture. Xrays taken today confirm there is no fracture. That’s the good news. The better news is that whatever was ailing her is just about gone, and she’s really benefitted from the 6 weeks off. Another two weeks, and she can be ridden again. I appreciate the vet’s “err on the side of caution” approach, especially under the circumstances, but geez, it did cause me some angst to worry about how the heck she’d done that to herself. 

Pregnancy-wise, all is going according to plan. Charm’s next check-up will be next month sometime. As of today (8/8/13), we’re at 108 days out of 340. Time flies….

Speaking of flying, check out this last foal by Mr. Bo Buttons of 2013 – “Banjo”.
