heat wave continues. I do NOT like hot and muggy. Whisper colic'd mildly Wednesday. Vet said to give her banamine. I did and it was just a brief time and she was back to normal. The vet was here Tuesday for shots....we sat and talked about Whisper for quite a while...she told me later that the mare is fortunate that I keep such close track of her. Yesterday, another vet suggested Succeed for her...says it has worked wonders on race horses that tended to colic. I checked on it...really expensive. A dear friend in FLA is sending me two weeks of samples of a feed additive that is supposed to help with hind gut issues...she said it has worked wonders on her old walker, So, when that comes I will try. Meanwhile, need to mark three weeks on the calendar to know when to watch for those little signs she is not up to snuff.
She needs to be ridden but I can not cope with this weather and , to be honest, six in the morning is a bit early for me to want to face the day from the back of a horse and that is the only time it is cool enough.
Hoping all are healthy and that the horses are staying well, and sound.
