I spoke to Eva the osteo, who advised giving arnica as often as possible, keeping her cool and either hosing or sponging down her legs.
So she’s had a bute, had her first couple of arnica pills in an apple and I just sponged bathed her legs. She stood like an angel whilst I sponged cold water down her legs, over and over. I didnt even bother with a headcollar – I never need one with her. She just stood there and afterwards we had a lovely cuddle.
There is something magical about looking at the world through a pair of horses ears – they say that the wind of heaven is that which blows between a horses ears. I closed my eyes and I felt her ear laying softly along my cheekbone, tickling my face with fine warm hairs as she flickered it back – as if she could hear my thoughts.
Eva said to continue with all this and I should see a steady improvement. If there isn’t a steady improvement or she isn’t better by next Wednesday, I should call her back. Eva is so lovely – she said I could call anytime if I have any questions. It’s good to know I have that kind of expert back up and I know Eva really cares about her, which gives me even more confidence.
