Gabrielle M. Thorne *She wonders to her window to check on her Lilly, she's been out for a while and she knows it's going to be hard to bring her in if she stays out anymore. Noticing her girl laying in the snow she grabs her coat and heads out to her. Looking her over and urging her up on to her feet she notices Lilly stagger <Lil what's wrong, what have you done> Circling her and pausing at her left hip she cringes < Oh my, what have you gotten into now > The bruising not so bad but the laceration needs attention. Guiding her slowly back to her stall she kisses her nose <I'll be right back baby, I'm going to call Tess over to help you> Pulling her cell out she dials her sister < Tess, Its Gabby....can you come to the stables please...Lilly has been hurt.....
Tess Culver Malebranche *Shouldering her bag he grabs her coat and heads down to the stable. Lilly is tethered to a post and Gabby is standing beside her stroking her* Hey Gabby what's wrong with Lilly?
Gabrielle M. Thorne <You know this mare, she is just like me...constantly getting into something. I noticed her laying in the south end of the pasture and it wasn't like her and when I checked her I saw this...I'm betting she was trying to be wild again <smiling> She has a fiery spirit..I think she does this on purpose to freak me out...>*Walking with Tess to show her Lilly's back hip, feeling her mares aggression spike, she pats her side and assures she will be just fine*
Tess Culver Malebranche *Digging an apple treat from her pocket Lilly eagerly takes it. Patting her neck she talks in a soft soothing voiced as she runs her hands down the Lilly's back.* Lets take a look her. *Running her hands down the horses hindquarters she feels for any hot spots along the leg. * Except for some abrasions nothing appears broken. *Lifting up her hoof* Gabby could you hand me her hoof pick?
Gabrielle M. Thorne Ok, *Rubbing
Lilly as she passes the pick behind her girl to Tess, Lilly isn't much for
picks of any sort so she makes sure it's out of her line of vision when she
passes it. <Tess, I'm amazed at how calm she is with you....She tried to eat
Kade when he came to do some work with
her...Aric has the same gift with her...I think she likes that breed though. Always showing off when he's around...So tell me, how's Rafe liking warrior life? Dante loving that his son is out there patrolling?
Tess Culver Malebranche *Cleaning out
Lilly's hoof she finds a small stone wedged in her hoof and gently picks it
out. * She probably knows I'm here to help her. And Kade I think makes her uneasy being in her mind, where as Aric is a gentle
soul much like his mother. *Smiling as she thinks about Rafe.* And my son, well he isn't a little boy any more running through the house imitating his father with wooden blades. And now I have two men to worry about, but I know he has been trained well and he loves what he is doing. *Releasing the horse's foot she gives Lilly a soft pat. * Let's get her into the barn and soak her foot.
Gabrielle M. Thorne I know what you mean, our boys are all grown up now...but I refuse to get rid of his glow worm..I'll keep that forever. * Guiding Lilly over and helping Tess put her foot into the warm water* <Do you think she's learned her lesson about being wild and crazy yet?>
Tess Culver Malebranche *Giggling as
I pour some Epsom Salts into the water* No she hasn't learned any lesson. This
will be the first of many injuries. And hopefully none will be serious.
*Drawing up some Ketorolac I give Lilly an injection. Snorting out a protest
she kicks
the bucket across the barn* You'll thank me for that later little girl. *Giving
her rump a firm pat.* Gabrielle,
why don't you stall her and I'll give you some instructions on how to care for
her foot.
Gabrielle M. Thorne *Looking back at her girl as she closes the gate on her stall she smiles,< Tess I cant thank you enough. She is very special to me....I loved her the first day I met her. She wasn't happy with anyone at her old home and when I got her here she opened up to all of us, well...except Kade.
Tess Culver Malebranche *Handing Gabrielle the list of items need to help speed the healing. She knows, she could offer to heal her. But Gabby needs to bond with Lilly.* She'll be fine Gabby. And if this doesn't work me or Rafe will be glad to give her our healing
touch. Now let's go get some coffee. I'm freezing.
