Today we got bad news that our 26 year old mare Oglala Star aka Reiny has Laminitis in all four hooves. She will need to go on a very strict diet but I figure since all 3 dogs, my husband and myself are on a diet, what's one more in the Lee household. We have a nutritionist from the Virginia Tech Equine Vet School coming to help us out with our mare. It will be a long road for her but starting today she is on Horse Hay Weight Watchers...poor old girl...I totally feel her pain.
My name is Christina and this is what started out to be my dog/horse blog named after my dog Lexi. Slowly my blog has morphed into a dog/life/farm blog. I love to take photos of everything relating to the farm and local events. I am also a Design Junkie and love to take my old run down ranch and redesign every inch into my dream retreat. Join Lexi, myself and all the delightful creatures at Bluebird Farm and have a peek inside our wonderful world... "The World According To Lexi"
