Dumplings, and an 800th Anniversary

[uathsaille]

Last night we watched an interesting, very disturbing movie that Phil had rented from Amazon knowing that I love Asia Extreme horror movies: Dumplings. I won't tell you why it made me so squeamish, but it is worth renting. It wasn't a horror movie at all, but more of a, I don't know, psychological suspense/drama? Definitely not your standard fare

ohshit. I'm so sorry to hear it's Cushings. Then again, it's starting to make sense... but isn't the life she nor you wanted for her either. Then again...the right place to spoil her might suit her best ;)

am sorry you didn't have a Camera for Sunday either! must have been a treat to see all that.

Thanks - I've had a suspicion for a long time about Cushings, based on the peeing and the bulges over the eyes where there should be hollows. It also explains her tendency to get massive infections, and wounds that don't heal, and also the slightly in-foal looking belly. :(

I know that she can go on for years with medication and correct management - so hopefully I can find someone that will sign an agreement about not turning around and re-selling her, who wants to adopt a horse with all tack and compete in dressage for several years. I don't know if she can be bred or not - I understand that is difficult for Cushings mares. And she'll never be a backyard trail horse, so she won't be suitable for a home like that. Very difficult to find the right person for her.

But I've had her basically sitting around in a top show barn for about a year and a half at, what? $800-$1000 per month? It's the only place locally that offers full care, which I need because of my hellish job. So I can't justify keeping her and not riding her
