Quick Update & Quiz!!

I hope everyone is having a lovely week!  Here's a few things to catch you up on and keep you on your toes:

• I want to welcome a new member of the Janicki Family!!  My brother, Craig, and his wife, Erin, went all the way to Washington to pick out little Kody, a 8 week old Karelian Bear Dog.  His big sister, Wrigley, cannot wait to meet him and teach him all about life on a farm. 

• Smokey had a meeting with his friend, Michele Haman (http://www.equi-libriumtherapy.com/) today.  We all know that if your horse is lame, you call the vet to have an evaluation done to find the source of the problem.  However, when you feel your horse is hurting but not obviously lame, it's a tough call as to what course of action will work for your horse (and your pocketbook).  I have used Michele before and really like how she works with the horse, from the evaluation to the therapy to the follow up, and I knew that the first step in figuring out Smokey's issues was to start with her.  He was definitely sore for mid-back over his croup, and very sore over his poll.  Additionally, he had a few ribs and vertebrae out of line.  But, Michele performed her magic and he is now a new horse!!  Michele thinks that everything is where it should be now and he feels much better, so I am going to have Lacy ride him tomorrow see how it goes! 

Now, I know you all have been waiting for my big announcement that I teased you with in my last post.  So, I am going to give you a picture as a hint.  This is just part of the annoucement, so more details will come!  Good luck...and may the odds be ever in your favor!
