That brumby has gone and done it! She has gotten rid of her yucky ole abscess! Here is a photo Bill sent me at work yesterday that shows Lilly's infection has worked its way up to the coronary band to drain. Is this a relief? Yes, this is an immense relief. Both to me and to my brumby!! Bill said the swelling was almost completely gone, and that she is almost walking around normally! A new horse! Now I know more about the progression of abscesses and how long they can take to reveal themselves.
We three brumbies of New England are
bearing tack we traverse afar
field and fountain, Pine Hill Mountain,
following yonder farm.
Ooo-ooo, farm of wonder, farm of night,
farm with Bill, all his diagnoses right
Bear River leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to your perfect light.
Born a brumby on a southern state plain
Carrots I bring her to crown her again
Brumby forever, ceasing never
to respond to an indirect rein
Ooo-ooo, farm of wonder, farm of night,
farm with Bill, we adore him quite
Bear River leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to your perfect light.

That is a relief - sometimes abscesses seem to take forever to resolve!
Haha!! I love your song.
Wow, that is quite a dramatic burst! Good news though, now it can drain and heal. MB's seems to have cleared out too, but it's hard to tell until our ground unthaws and I can see how he's really moving. It looks good though, and doesn't appear to be draining anymore.
Cute song, you are very creative! :)
Oh Hooray for Brumby's relief!!! She is a sweet happy Brumby again! I love, love, love your Christmas carol! You are so creative! We, too, had a reliable Toyota Corolla for many years. We cried when we had to move on to other cars. Congratulations again on your Lilly's recovery.
