Sugar & Vinegar an Interesting Mix

Filly is just so amazing. She's the sweetest filly with such a wonderful disposition & cute personality. She just wants to be with people, to be touching them & having them touch her. After all she's been through it's amazing that she likes people. The daily wrapping & splinting, the dosings with probiotics & Bio-Sponge, all have been met with little to no resistance. Filly just takes everything in stride & has been so easy to handle. She's truly a joy.
Filly's legs are doing fabulous. Her right leg appears to be completely normal & her left is mechanically normal, only needing more strength. By the end of the day her left leg was tired & it was visibly weaker than in the morning. A bit more padding was added to the back of the pastern to offer more support for the 12 hours splinted. Filly just stands nicely through the entire process, sometimes wiggling her lips on DW's head. Filly can now trot like a normal horse, although she's a bit clumsy in her learning period.
Grey Girl is a tiny cutie, full of spunk & sassiness. It's amazing how strong she is because, at less than a month old) she's harder to hold than Filly has ever thought of being. GG needed another dose of Bio-Sponge & it was all CMK could do to hold her while DW dosed with the oral syringe. By the time GG was dosed, CMK & DW were also covered in Bio-Sponge. When all is done, she gives CMK & DW the evil eye. Boy what a little spitfire!
