Update for Lily

Thanks for asking about Lily, Alyssa.
Sam rode her on Saturday and the horse seemed to do very well.
I am not sure if all of you knew but Lily had a real problem with her left front foot.
When we got her she had a pretty nasty crack in that hoof but she ended up splitting it right up to her coronet band and then got an infection in her foot.
The blacksmith did a major repair job on her foot by drilling into the hoof wall, wiring it closed and covering the opening with fiberglass. She was pretty sore for a while but has improved steadily over the last 6-7 weeks.
As I said above, she was ridden on Saturday and she looked great.
Hopefully she will be back in the school soon.

Skeeter

A hard decision today but we had to put Skeeter, (the best barn cat in the world) to sleep today.
As close to a dog as you can get in a cat and I mean that as a great compliment.
We are lucky to have such a good friend as Michelle who looked after my dear cat including the sad end.
It was very peaceful and gentle and G-d bless Michelle for having the skill and empathy to end his time with us in such a kind way.
I like to believe that he is a better place now.
Thanks for the memories Skeeter. I hope you will get fat and shiny once again.
