So we clipped her billy goat hair on her legs (Both leg photos are after). And shortened her mane with clippers and scissors(Before and after pictures).

The first two photos are of the lump on her right side. That is cellulite we think but I am monitoring it. The second two are of her left side where there may be a lump so I am monitoring it too. The picture of her right hind is of her injury. It is so full of scar tissue that it is bad. We are working her to break up the scar tissue.

The first four pictures are of Ashanti's tail after washing, conditioning, and some sort of spray all brushed out. The last picture is of when I risnsed the shampoo out but it looked like before we started. She has the cutest tail ever

In our tack room, there are some old saddles collecting dust so my trainer just gave me one and just said, clean it up and let's have you ride in it. So that is my new saddle for Ashanti. I was able to ride her at a walk as she is just too lame at a trot. The barn was under quarantine for a week after the rain stopped for disease was flying around the barn. We have a riding instructor at the barn but she left after a month or two. She made an absolute mess where her horses were located. She drove the tractor making a soaking, muddy mess, her new waterers just leaked everywhere, she moved her feeders towards the middle of the pasture making it dangerous for the grooms and helpers to come feed; I could say more but I don't want to bore you. Oh yeah, her area smelled like drugs and her dogs terrorized the cats to the point of vomiting, pooping, and peeing literally everywhere. That was not a fun time! Ashanti is now back to round pen work; so pretty much just lunging her in the round pen either with or without a lunge line. We are bringing her to the creek to help ice her legs as the water is freezing and that helps so much as the heat is just cooling down. She may be sent to a breeding farm after all but time will tell.
