We are a family oriented farm that lives life together. This is a diary of our lives together, and the ramblings of me, the trainer.
If you're in the Charleston area we'd love to meet you.
Shambley Equine was here on Tuesday. It was a busy visit. We started with India having her hocks injected. They use a combination of steroids and hydralonic acid to lubricate the joint. It will make her more comfortable and free up her gaits. She has received routine injections for the last couple of years.
We then had Shiloh evaluated for the same thing. Shambley agreed that he also was limited in his movement and that his hocks were in the process of fusing so he also was injected.
We then looked at Rosie to determine if there was a reason for the funny faces she makes, but it appears to be behavioral.
After all of that it was time for the big event... Rizzie became a gelding. Here is a picture or two. If you have a weak stomach I apologize the pictures are courtesy of Jessica our resident vet tech.
Showing off my baby
The above slide show is pictures I've managed to accumulate of my pride and joy...Shiloh. These are all pictures I've found of him on the web. They start with him as a yearling at the Saratoga sale and go up through his winning at the race track. You will find more pictures of him in the bottom slide show at the Clemson show with one of my students aboard back in Dec. 2007. Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures of myself showing him in the near future.
You'll notice a couple of the pictures are during his time at Canter. Please check out their website at
