of course everyone wants to talk about ami…. so I will give a brief update.  he has a fracture in his foot - stall rest for 3 months.  He got bar shoes on today.

let me start by saying that I am exhausted.  I have been busy as regular, but also traveling 10 hours in a single day and coupled with the fact I have been pulling long(er) hours at the barn due to some freak stuff happening…  = I am exhausted.  I am not trying to be moody or in a bad mood - but I’m simply of explaining what is up with Ami, and then answering all the “ohh I’m so sorry” or “what are you going to do?” or “I knew a horse that had that and it died/never was sound again/his leg fell off” or “you should have done x, y and z”.

He has a crack in his foot.  He’s on stall rest.  What’s next after that… I don’t know.

I really don’t mean to have an attitude about it - and I hope that I don’t come across like that in this post or in person.  But I have cried my eyes out, I’m emotionally SPENT.  done. toast.  I don’t want to talk about it right now.  I have to get through this weekend where we are going to a big show.  I can’t stress and be an emotional mess when I have a ton of stuff to do.

My farrier, Loren was SUPER awesome.  I called him at 10am to let him know I need a bar shoe and he fit me into a packed schedule.  In fact he was on his way home when he came by.  Was ultra reassuring that things would work out.

J and B of course have been good too.  We have had ALOT going on…  10 days of random HELL.  But we have stuck together and I imagine this only makes our team stronger.

The other person who was awesome was Ami’s breeder.  We keep in touch and she wanted to know what the vet said.  I couldn’t even call her.  I had J do it.  She wrote me an email that was very re-assuring and very supportive.  said ami comes from a long line of VERY tough horses.  He will be fine.
