Yada and Louize update! (Sorry it's late)

So Yada and Louize are settling in very well! Louize is eating well with her ulcer meds (her ulcer acted up again after the move and she wasn't eating well for a couple days). Her eye is looking really good! The swelling is almost gone and it hasn't been weeping! Yay! Yada is also doing really well. Haven't been able to practice our canter lately because the arena has had equipment and hay in the way. Maybe one of these days I'll just ride out in the pasture... except there are rather large rocks out there. Maybe that wouldn't work well. I do need an open, unobstructed space to practice. Yada needs room to gain balance and confidence in her canter. Or maybe I'll explore the trails and if there are any fields or straight-aways, I can canter there until the arena gets cleaned up. I don't know. She's a work in progress but I'm loving it, even after some frustrations.

Louize will soon get a really fun trail ride, too! I want to explore the trails so badly! It's killing me. I'm waiting for a day when I have nothing better to do than explore the trails. Maybe there are trails connecting Triple D and Stonewall so I can trail ride with my friend at Stonewall, Alicia!

Also, Yada is going to a show on Saturday! It's a fun equitation show so it's nothing stressful but it will be very good experience for her and get her out there showing off her stuff! I will have to do walk/trot, though. I was hoping I could work on her canter. Her left lead (the race track way) is okay! She's very confident at it on the lunge line but her right lead is not... I have only made her do it a handful of times. Hopefully Louize doesn't lose her mind being alone for most of Saturday... I will give her lots of carrots and apples before we leave and some more when we get back in the hopes that it might relax her a little bit. Poor thing is going to be lost all by herself!

On another note, Jill Schnedler pulled a nasty move on my mother today. She tried calling into the hospital and claimed that my mom broke patient-doctor confidentiality and tried to get my mom fired! What the hell?? Luckily, my mom was able to prove that A) Jill Schnedler has never been her patient, B) Jill Schnedler goes to St. Joseph's Hospital, not Eastern Maine Medical Center where my mother works, C) my mom doesn't have access to Jill's files, and D) my mom never revealed any medical information in the first place except for one small tidbit of information: Jill only has electricity because she has a prescription for a nebulizer (that requires electricity to work). She owes the electric company over $6000 and she has never filled her prescription for her nebulizer. She doesn't own one and has never used one yet she tells the power company she needs power in order to get her medicine. This doesn't breach any confidentiality information. She told me this in person when she had to call the power company to get an extension on her bill because it was going to get shut off if she didn't call them!

Oh well. It didn't work, Jill. Maybe next time you try to get someone fired you give a story that has even 1% of the truth.

I'm on to bigger and better things. I have better things to focus on than trying to ruin lives. I have a job interview soon (YAY!) and I am having a blast with my horses!

Goodnight everyone! And remember, if people ever try to drag you down with them, just walk away. It's easier to leave them in the dust than to get tangled up in their net of self-destruction.
