Now, some news.
Infinity is probably totally blind on her right eye. That is the veterinarian wording.
All medication and good treatment helped her to avoid inflammation for a long time, but lost of her vision was avoidable.
She is n the period of transition and training how to live in this condition.
As you know she was always at the bottom of the social leather, and it caused lot of stress on her (which is possible trigger of inflammation and deterioration of her vision)
Trying to help her I created separated, safe space for her, and she seems to be very happy to be able to munch her hay quietly , without and interruption.
:)
At this moment, fence between her and rest of her herd has been made of electric fence stripe, and it works fine.
You will easily find entrance at the barn wall between her and Charlie's stall.
Please, keep them divided like that.
Things to think about:
Hay in the feeder in Infinity's space is not all eatable.
Feel free to use dry, but rotten hay from both metal feeders as source of minimal bedding we use in summer months.
Infinity needs fresh, eatable hay from the storage or plastic feeder. She need 2-3 hay rack of hay 3 times a day. Please, assure that whoever is there in AM give her that hay in her metal feeder.
You will see how happy and calm she is in this setting.
Regarding her grooming, tacking and managing any how, please be aware that you have to approach her ALWAYS from the LEFT side, and whatever you do around her follow by calm, constant voice, so she can learn to pay attention on it.
No kids, guests, visitors at her field any time.
It is responsibility of each of us, adult activist to prevent any accident, and keep Spirit field safe place for all.
Feel free to approach any newcomer with smile and question "How can I help you?" and go from there to direct guests to the info box at the fence if they are interesting about program, and make clear that no one can enter the field or interact with horses beside assigned volunteers and instructors.
During the regular grooming and tacking procedure, if there is no experienced volunteers, better leave Infinity alone, until I come.
Thank you in advance if you will take my suggestions seriously.
About Veronica, she can enter the field even without me, but I will make clear that she is responsible for her guests, together with anyone adult activist.
Also, I am sure that you recognized how much we are lucky to have Veronica with us, so her lessons are very important for the whole Spirit Program.
I will try to keep you posted about her schedule.
Thank you for keeping our field, horses and whole program nicer, better and stronger with your help and hard work in program activities.
Sorry for long post and hope to seeing you soon.
Wish you the great week, with love,
Dada
