Micky and other musings

This is me riding my horse, Micky..he has lived with me over 11 years now and is getting up in age: he's 21.
Last summer was a bad one for him: he had Lyme disease and also developed Cushings disease, which is PPID in horses..it occurs when the pituitary gland begins overproducing hormones; it can be devastating for an animal.  I treated him with Doxycycline for Lyme but also have to keep him on Pergolide to control the hormone production...I take every day as a gift to have him with me.
