Ambush

My horse Ambush, the one Kylee rides and now calls HER horse is not feeling well. It started out her being lame. the Equine chiropracter came to the fairgrounds and popped her knee back and she seemed alright but the next day she was lame again. But now she has something else going on. Kylee and her mom took her to the vet last night because she was real weak and had an abscess on her shoulder. the vet worked on that and couldn't find anything but did take blood to be worked up. We will find out about the blood on Monday. So Ambush is laid up for awhile, getting penicillin shots, washing her sore with anti-bacterial soap and epsom salts. So that's it for now.

Heading for home

Here is Kylee at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds 2 week-ends ago. Check out the flying hair. she did real good on Ambush. that is where she won the halter and all the medals pictured before. Also a pic of Ambush relaxing in the pasture. Last weekend was the Monroe Fair and Ambush pulled up lame so she had to ride a different horse and this sunday maybe another playday if Ambush is OK.

Waiting for the bus

Kylee's first day at a new school in a new town (to her) and she doesn't know anybody. I drove her to the bus stop, we have to make a new one, because it is a little ways, but she can walk it but I (you know grandma's) had to make sure the bus stopped and everything without me embarrassing her. lol. the fog was rolling over the trees while we were waiting. Pretty.

Pieces of my area

I always show pictures of Mt. Rainier but never of Baker. Well here is Mt. Baker almost as high as Rainier. Rainier is South of us and Baker is north and east. Both beautiful mountains and so close.
Here is the mighty town of stanwood population around 4000. this is the east end of town looking west.
