1998 5 yo Stallion inspection, for better views of his conformation. (Why the bell boots?) Absolutely gorgeous.

Had to cancel my second appointment with the heart doctor up at UW-Madison that was scheduled the second week in May. Three months ago, the doctor was mailed an extensive packet of everything Iâve gone through: tests, records, notes, etc. Since I have such an excruciating time sitting in the car, I called her nurse and asked if the doctor would be able to tell me if sheâd be able to help me or didnât think she could do anything. (We had sent information to other specialists before who told us they couldnât do anything and recommended us to another doctor who could.) I didnât think that was asking too much, as it would be a 7 hour round total trip/visit. The nurse said that she hadnât looked at any of my files and wouldnât until the morning of or even until I was in the office. That didnât go down very well with someone who has sciatica and fibromyalgia. Will try to contact doctor again and explain the situation.
Eyes are worse than ever. No doctors left to see. And because of the doctors cracking down on opioid painkillers due to people who doctor shop and abuse them and ruin it for people who are in actual pain, another doctor recommended looking in to stem cells. My dad already researched it and found some doctors, so appointments will be scheduled. Fingers crossed; though I have absolutely no expectations at this point.
Still need to pursuing payment and cancelling charges for incorrect test (balloon expulsion test) that GI doctor at Northwestern did.
Another sad note: my parents bought me a horse of my own after 22 years of riding. It is great therapy and one of the only things that I can do and got be out of bed and gave me a purpose every day. However, the horse turned out to be too âunmotivatedâ and with my heart condition, I got tired way too quickly, so to my utter devastation, he had to be sold after only three months. (Back in 2007, my parents leased me a horse after I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue SyndromeâŠthe horse was out of shape, and so was I. Together, we slowly built up our endurance and strength. Horses have healing power. Iâve witnessed it as a volunteer at the Midwest Therapeutic Riding Center for severely disabled children.)
From her GoFundMe. [edit] If this person truly loved horses, theyâd be happy with a mini or a schoolie to love on. I was hospitalised (three separate admissions, MRIs, looking for a bleed or tumour) with a migraine that lasted three weeks, with onset of vertigo. For weeks it was hard yakka just to stay upright without keeling over and vomiting. I dragged my sorry arse out to feed and water my horses after I was released from hospital, because just to look at their fetlocks was a blessing. Everyday. Later that year I broke my arm. Had to devise a way of zipping up my boots with an arm in a sling, because damnit, I wasnât allowed to work so I was bloody well going to ride. True, a broken arm was considered a liability so I was barred from work for eight weeks. After six weeks the only thing I couldnât do was use a tin opener. It was an interesting experience, and taught me that if you want it badly enough, you can make âitâ happen, and by " it" I mean something that makes you happy and fulfilled within your own limitations.
The point is, if you love horses, and you canât ride, yet your parents buy you a horse that you luuurrrvee⊠you donât sell it because it is lazy!
Clearly this individual was well enough to go to numerous A shows and racing events.

Iâm always amazed by the research abilities on this BB. Now weâve seen this horse all the way from a five year old to a retired senior citizen.

From her GoFundMe. This is a person who very clearly has Munchausen by internet (Fictitious disease.)
F**k youâŠall of you. You all are sick in the head. I have legitimate, rare, incurable health problems, which you do not, and know nothing of the atrocities I face just to have the will to exist. I feel sorry for all of you, who donât have any of my problems, yet are âone fry shortâ and all the other things you called me. Yes, Iâm taking all the meds and hospitals, ER visits, and Dr apps the past 12 years just for fun and am making it all up. Holy hell. You are all demented.
Itâs sad and pathetic that middle aged ladies have nothing better to do than investigate on FB and save quotes, etc. That is a sad, sad, demented life you all have. I feel sorry for you all. Maybe someday youâll grow out if acting like little teenagers in another 15 years when you hit your 70s.
Best to you all who have nothing better to do than attack a sick girl and make fun of her. I put my name out there. You are cowards who hide behind the keyboard preying on others just for something to fill your miserable, empty lives. How sad for you all.
uh oh

It is fairly rare to find an Irish Draught that is too straight/post legged behind. Most are sickle hocked if anything, due in part to the combination of a long gaskin with a relatively short cannon bone. You will sometimes get IDs that are straight through the stifle due to an upright and/or short femur. But even these horses will usually tend toward sickle hocked due to the length of the tibia vs the lower limb bones.

But you are the one posting from the Central Time Zone at 2am almost nightly so�
I think we have a new CLOTHISM. Yes with the âLâ in memory of a rambling ranter who spelled it that way back in the day when when agahasted, the dead cactus and helmet on tne rusty stirrup iron made their debut. Been awhile since we have had a new term.
So thanks for inspiring Old McD to add MUNCHAUSEN BY INTERNET to our CLOTH vocabulary.
Like most of these and the threads that inspired them, itâs really kind of sad.

Small correctionâthe quote in post 102 was âa few fries shortâŠâ and it, and the other comments were about Amy, not you.
And I still say that you should take over the schooling rides on the grey. So there.

I donât think most people doubt you have health issues but it is hard to reconcile being bedridden with being able to do anything other than a pony ride on a horse and it is even harder to fathom spending tens of thousands on a horse while begging strangers for money for medical bills.

Is this a houseguest?
I dunno, I donât understand who us saying what about whomâŠmaybe itâs a SybilâŠswear sometimes you need a cast list with synopsis of who they are and what they previously said. Or an exorcist.

OK, Trying to catch up hereâŠ
Is Bringing up baby Amy? Or did she buy a horse from Amy? Or did someone just mention her and she took over this thread, but is not actually Amy and tied with Cradillo? I need a flow chart to get through this on my lunch break :yes: Anyone care to clear this up for me?

No connection between Amy/Cradilo and Bringing up Baby (and her other screen names)/Easy Boy except people here think both of them sometimes run at the mouth in crazy ways on the internet. No other connection.

ah, thanks for the clarification. I too was confused!
Easier to tell us to f**k off than to explain that.
which she has never done. How do you have $$$$ camera equipment, travel the world, have expensive horses, expensive saddles, expensive cars, if you have all these bills and are too sick to walk?
easy. You donât actually have an expensive illness, and are a privileged midwestern white girl. Itâs just a cool story to tell so that people will feel bad for you and you have permission to be condescending.
Only problem is when it doesnât work and you canât talk your way out of it so you just throw a tantrum.
