Last month, our lovely Sapphire developed some swelling along her leg. There didn't appear to be any cut or heat, so we wrapped it, thinking maybe that she had cast herself. The following day, however, the leg was *MORE* swollen, so we knew that there was something else going on, including cellulitis (a bacterial infection that is under the skin).

It's great for Ruby to move off of the leg, practice bending, as well as encourage collection under saddle. We have also started taking Ruby out on the street. She is so great! We have … [Read more...]
