I've ridden Farletta twice since the surgery and she is doing Fantastic! The change in the way she holds her self and the obvious improvement in comfort is amazing! She is riding just as great as ever and has adapted amazingly well to the loss of vision on her right side. She has been able to longe and free longe walk-trot-canter and is able to turn 360 degree pivots both directions with confidence. The great relationship we've built over the years has definitely been evident in these first rides. My promise to Farletta is I will be her "right eye" when we ride and will keep her safe on that side -- she is alright with that!

It's been two weeks! No more green hood and tomorrow she gets to go out into the big pasture! Farletta is doing FANTASTIC! We can still hardly believe the change in her...she is so calm and happy! Here she is on the longe line for a light workout. If all goes well I'm hoping to ride tomorrow! CLICK the photo to see Farletta longeing! Farletta's recovery period is almost over...just 3 more days until she gets to go out in the big pasture with her friends! I removed her suture today and she looks great. I can't believe how beautifully she healed! All the swelling is gone and the shape of her face is normal and symetrical. I'll have more pictures soon!
Farletta is doing great and looks better every day. Today is Day 9...five more days until she can go out with her buddies in the big pasture! Click the picture below to see a short video showing her progress...
