It's that time of year again where pollen and allergens flow....My poor Missy suffers from heaves (horse allergies/asthma). We have found supplements to help her out alot, but this lingering cough is always the toughest to get rid of which can make working her difficult. Oh but she loves working!!! I've been taking it easy on her and she was very mad at me for doing that because I got her out to trim her hooves and she looked at me as if to say, "That's it?" I give into my horses cute faces pretty easily so I up and got her saddled. I told her I would be easy on her and work her in the yard....HA! Missy said no we are going on a ride and made her way undirected to the road! So we went for a ride much to her delight or rather persuasion! She was so happy! Then yesterday, I took her to Jubilee to trail ride and she did awesome even her coughing was limited! And boy did she want to RUN!!!! It's always so much fun to ride a horse so full of life and have such JOY even inspite of her condition!! She really inspires me to keep on going and living even though I have health problems too. She teaches me that it shouldn't be an excuse to hold Joy back! My dear Mighty Missy, I have you to thank for this lesson and I truly enjoy your JOY!!!
