So yesterday when I got to the barn Nina had no heat and no fluid in her leg. She does have some scar tissue laying down. After I rode there was a little fill. Today, again there was no heat and no fluid.
I didn't ride, she was batshit crazy and even I could feel the barometer dropping as a front came in, so I lunged her a little, tried to control the spooking and running, gave up and went and got a Mountain Dew. By the time I got back she had settled and trotted around for a while. Again a very small amount of fluid in the leg after..
I am planning (sort of) to ride tomorrow, give her Tuesday off, ride Wednesday and Thursday. I have lessons all afternoon on Friday so she will be off, ride Saturday and if she is sane we will do the walk/trot equitation at the schooling show on Sunday.
She needs to either be lame or do something on Sunday. It is the barn's second annual English/Western schooling show. I judged the English classes last year and didn't want to this year because I wanted to show. I had this silly idea that we would be jumping by now.
There is a walk/trot Equitation class - I hate Equitation - but at least we will be entered and it's a fun show.
If a miracle occurs this week I might shove her over a crossrail and do that, just skip the flat class in the division.
Hoping for a good week.
