Back after not posting for a while... life has not been kind with a riding accident (two fractured vertebra in my back)and now bad news on Mercy, my "third child." She is 17... has had problems breathing and has been treated for fluid in the lungs three times this year - no cough, no heave...

Haven't been on in some time...horses are all well and have been a good diversion from some sad news we got in November - my stepdad - who raised me - was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer that had already spread to his liver... he opted not to do chemo as he did not want to be ill for...

I owe some pics of my Shetland, Silversong Nefertiti - this was taken over the summer right after we got back from the Holley, NY show on 7/11/09. Neffie is doing well - despite a partially paralyzed tongue we are managing - hubby wanted me to sell her to cut down but luckily nobody wanted her...

Saoirse is home! (Too bad not all the other horses feel the same way...) She rode home in the crew cab of my truck as my horse trailer was sold two weeks ago and I am waiting on a new stock trailer. There was nothing like a baby foal with milk breath nuzzling my shoulder and talking to...

Been a busy summer - trained Weatherly to ride (she is doing great), showed Nefertiti as a Classic and got a championship, had successful elbow surgery on the right elbow - next week they fix the left...and bad bloodwork this week that showed elevated liver enzymes but despite all that, I am...

As Mercy will be celebrating her fifteenth birthday June 21st, I am wondering if two of her foals have produced anything... the ones I do not have records on where they are would be: Silversong Coup de Grace - foaled 1997, mare by Lucky Four Haligonian Make My Day and Silversong State of the...

I have had type 1 diabetes for almost 20 years. I am having a devil of a time trying to get my blood sugar to stabilize - I wore a continuous glucose monitoring system for three days and the data chart looked more like the Himalaya Mountains. My A1Cs have yet to be near 7.0...I have been...

http://s620.photobucket.com/albums/tt287/S...nt=P1010167.flv A video of Mercy and Freedom enjoying a warm afternoon here... it was fun watching them play - the swooshing is me waving the whip and that gets them going.... Denise

We have had warm weather and Mercy was clipped for her visit to the mall in February and Freedom was looking at my clippers longingly...so I did a quick clip on her last night and bundled her up. She has been shedding in clumps and has been so itchy...and she was loving getting clipped -...

Been busy here - I sold Indy to a new home - but a good home for her as she is with one of her daughters and the horses there are all well-cared for and very loved. She was not doing much here - I am no longer breeding - and I felt bad that Benn no longer wants to show and she was purchased for...

Other than feeling like I got punched in the ribs, I feel a heckuva lot better! My inflamed gallbladder was full of adhesions and it is gone. Feel like I can at least muck the mini stalls.... Thank you to those who sent prayers - THEY DO WORK!!!! Denise

Met with the surgeon today to go over the results of my HIDA scan... my gallbladder has a 20% ejection fraction and is inflamed...possible blockage in the main duct and the duct coming off the gallbladder based on other symptoms I am having so I go under the knife next Friday with contrast xrays...

My Modern Shetland filly, Silversong Nefertiti, made the 2008 All-Stars... ASPR Any Age Mare - tied for 4th Modern Pleasure Shetland Mares 2 and Under - 6th Amateur Modern Pleasure Shetland - 5th What a difference a year makes - she is thriving on her modified diet (she has a partially...

Haven't been on much as things have been crazier than normal here. I work at a school and figured I picked up one of those bugs that seem to be going around but it was not going away and I was not knocked out like I usually am with one of those viruses. I ended up in the ER last Saturday (a...

After feeding two two year old fillies and with one for sale and no bites in this economy, I came up with a solution that works for me... Weatherly's dam is for sale - an older horse but she is retired from the show ring/broodmare herd and she is sound and has been trail riding all summer. I...

In May, hubby brought home an orange male tabby cat. Of course, he had it in the car and just let it loose...I told him you need to bring kitty inside to acclimate him to the new environment.... :arg! We searched for the kitty and could not find him for months. My neighbor called at the end...

After not seeing the girls for a week, I was glad to get home to see everyone. Nefertiti was probably the happiest to see me. She whinnied and started following me everywhere I went, her nose on me. She supervised me cleaning the barn and then went into a prancing, bucking and galloping...

Came back from a week visiting family and friends in CT/RI and had results of long overdue blood work - my potassium is high and I guess the doc's office is trying to get in touch with me... I go in for more bloodwork tomorrow. My A1C was better than it was last time but still need to get down...

Karla took some great pictures of Mercy and Freedom in motion over the jumps and a very cute one of Kennedy helping with Mercy on the way down to the ring... I give permission to post as we are without a home computer at the moment and my work computer won't let me to m webpage or the Forum...

Nefertiti (my Shetland), Mercy and possibly Freedom are going. Just look for the fat black and white mare that jumps - with a redhead on the end of the line. Neffie was very naughty in 2006 so if you see a naughty and noisy bay Shetland, that will probably be us. Since Ben has "retired"...
