I'm very, very happy she did not bleed out. And the prognosis is so much better than when Saiph first contacted me and asked for help. And I sent all the help I could muster. Some of them are staying to try to keep her calm. Lots of light, love and peace to you and Gemmie.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834640625999522559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957257570347188011.post-52892063667083415352015-06-29T04:58:54.415-07:002015-06-29T04:58:54.415-07:00Pretty, pretty mare.

I check e-mail, texts and phone calls, not FB. But I did and the first post that popped up was that you were en route to Tryon for surgery. And then I saw the pictures. I was as upset as if it had been one of my own horses. I'm not a big praying person, but I prayed for you and Gem all the way home and all last night, and checked FB first thing this morning and was SO RELIEVED to read that the surgery had gone well and there was no tendon involvement. SO relieved. I know you still have a long road ahead of you but I'll be thinking and praying and sending all the healing thoughts for your girl. Gem is a fighter. If any horse can pull through, it is her. It sounds like she is in great hands and the equine hospital is lovely. Please don't hesitate to ask if there is any way I can help. Lily had a puncture wound to her left hind back in 2011 and then a soft tissue injury in 2013. Lots of bandaging, antibiotics, x-rays, and stall rest both times, and then the long road to both rehab and lengthen turnout to 24/7. I'm happy to share any shareable knowledge from those events.<br /><br />And she does look gorgeous in that photo of her in the stall.Nicole Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817619834026667737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957257570347188011.post-34754989084338466412015-06-28T19:04:54.436-07:002015-06-28T19:04:54.436-07:00Oh, Sara, I am SO sorry to read this.
