Both my girls are getting better, but slowly.
The Mare is walking better, but not normal. Started her on a feed supplement that is high in protein and fat to help her regain muscle lost while in stall rest. Also ordered another supplement that has minerals that's supposed to help her soft tissue heal stronger. Don't know if any of this stuff actually works, but worth a try.
Yesterday the Boss saddled up for the first time since having her knee replaced. She had to mount from the right side because her left (new knee) wasn't strong enough. Thankfully her horse doesn't care. She rode for only about 15 minutes in the pasture at a walk, but that was enough. Her leg was swelling above and below the knee. She's paying for it today.
The bad news is that I haven't been able to get to the range since last fall. I'm missing that.
