What a great day! Zippity arrived around noon, boy was I glad to see her. I had her purple halter ready for her, she is so cute in purple. Ginger got so excited and she started to whinny then I see my neighbors 4 horses pop here heads over the fence to see what was going on.
I put hay in zippitys food bucket, and she started to eat. I was able to get her halter on her, and lead her around a bit. Zippity has a injured leg and it was not looking good. I called my neighbor and she brought over some spray to help the leg, there were a lot of flies around the cut. On Sunday (I will call him trainer one) he came over to take a look at Zippitys leg. He said I needed a vet to
come and take a look at it. He helped me get it wrapped up and put some medicine on it. I called the vet and talked to them about Zippitys leg. I made a appointment for the next day to have the vet come and take a look. The vet arrived around 11:00, she said the wound was about 2 or more weeks old and needed treatment. She washed the wound out and put medication on it, she said it will take a few weeks to heal but should be fine. I was so glad to hear that.
Zippity is doing really well, I can lead her around make her stop and back her up. She is such a easy going horse, the vet was really impressed with her and told me I have found me a treasure, I also think that. I hope to do some halter shows with Zippity. I have a lot of work to do, and I look forward to it.

Yeah! I am so excited. I think it is good that you had a vet come look at her leg. BTW: why no photos? I want to see the 4 hours peaking over the fence, the cut, the arrival, and that cute purple harness photo I took. ;)
ReplyDeletelol my internet crashed after I posted this so thats why there are no pictures but they are coming
ReplyDeletePoor Zippity! Can't believe she would have a cut for a couple of weeks and they wouldn't help take care of it. Good thing you bought her so she can get the care and love she deserves! So excited for you!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the people you bought her from didn't say anything to you about Zippity's leg. I'm glad you got a vet right there and are taking care of her so well. What fun it will be for you to raise and train this baby!
ReplyDeletewe are all glad that zippy is doing better. I wonder what will happen when both horses try to be the "one" to follow you everywhere. This new filly may help Kuma keep in shape. Keep the camera handy. This is a once in a lifetime experience. ENJOY!
ReplyDeletewell they did have a vet come and look at her. but it just got worse so we are now putting medication on it and it will get better
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us come and see Zippy this evening, Leah. She is a beautiful little horse! It will be fun watching her grow up. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute! I can't wait to come meet her someday. I hope her leg gets better quickly, poor girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Zippity went to your home, she will be a great horse for you! Her mother was giving riding lessons to kids as a 2yr old, and she won a few Western Pleasure shows. She is a very smart and gentle horse. Her father was only halter broke by me as a 7yr old sallion, and within a week I had a saddle on him. Good luck and I will keep checking your blog!! If anyone asks you about her breeding, she has Jackie Bee, Nebo Cheif and Buttermilk Lou on her mom's papers. They are all world champions. Glad her leg is getting better, I didn't have time to clean it before I brought her to you with the baby and working :( Glad it's better.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley!
