Blue Moon Stables

The ice is still here, so no work for today either. Hopefully Monday will bring workmen back at a scurried pace! I have a horse update for everyone-

The favorite lesson horse out here, Spike, has been placed on "injured-reserve" until further notice because of a broken tooth. An upper molar on his right side has a large piece of it missing and may require surgery to remove the rest of it. This is not a life-threatening condition for a domesticated horse, but it would be for one in the wild. Right now we are in a wait-and-see mode to see if the hole that is there will heal. If it does, he may not require surgery. He will be out of rotation (which I realize has been almost non-existent) until he has been deemed healed by the vet. Spike's owner, Carol Lambert, and I, along with all of Spike's admirers would like to thank Dr. Hillary Henson for her quick diagnosis and encouraging words. Keep your thoughts with Spike for a speedy recovery!!!
