Quick update

Nothing new just a quick update.

Ruby is not enjoying her time off.  She's not really sure what to do with herself now that she's not being ridden and is not being turned out with her buddies - definitely going a little stir-crazy.  She's completely forgotten how to stand still, especially when I'm trying to put her boots on.  Swelling on her fetlock is nearly gone, though she does have a small, hard knot there (the knot appeared after her fall in the trailer).  She hasn't taken a lame step since that last trail ride, and I'll probably start hand-walking her off-property later this week.  Monday marks two weeks since the incident.  Vet said that I could ride her at a walk after two weeks, but I plan to give her a bit longer before putting her back under saddle.  No trotting, walking only until May (approximately).  I can deal though, if it means Ruby will come out on the other side happy and sound.   Oh, and if anyone is wondering how Princess Ruby feels about her joint supplement, I think she would eat it by the case if the opportunity arose.  It looks and smells like alfalfa dust.  She's taken to licking her feeder clean morning and night. 

Jennie should be back from vacation in a few days, after which time we will finalize all the details regarding Vegas.  Hubby is trying hard not to hyperventilate, knowing how I get attached.  No real worries there though - can't afford two horses so Vegas won't be a permanent fixture unless we win the lottery :)

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
