Well, for yhr passt 3 hours or so, i've been pampering, cleaning out, leading out and generally adoring one of my ponies. Boo.
And to be perfectly honest with you, I honestly don't think you could find a more accepting and patient pony than her.
For the past 3 and a half years of ownership she's had never ending problems. From 6months box rest during her laminitis, almost losing her to that laminitis, then being diagnosed with arthritis, onto finding her with a puncture wound to the inside of her hind leg, more diagnoses of her having arthritis in different areas of her body, and then in November, her feet just pretty much falling apart. She had an infection in her near fore... and things just dont seem to be improving from there.
It's not yet known what, if any recovery she will make... and I will just be so ecstatic if she so much as comes back to health of being turned out. It's all I ask.
But truly, this mare is incredible. She puts up with SO much, and despite our problems to begin with (She was rather strong + suicidal)... she is one pony who has made such a huge impact on my life.
She's so accepting and gentle, so completely and utterly genuine and pleased to see anyone who pays her a visit. And it breaks my heart to think I might not be able to fix her this time.
Despite the fact i'm the very person who keeps her in all the time, im the very person who scrubs out her foot even though its painful, the very person that changes her lily pads, the very person that force feeds her some disgusting concoction the vets made up... she doesent hold a thing against me.. and I love her so very much for it.
It breaks my heart to see her go from this...
and
To...
and
I really just wanted to post a tribute to an inspiring animal. And maybe you could all keep your fingers crossed for her?
It's going to be a long hard slog, and I'm going to do everything in my power to help her recover... to some extent. Because I know she's not ready to go yet. And i'm not ready to let her go yet.
Sorry for soppyness.
