Sheridan Creek Bio: our website http://www.sheridancreekequestriancenter.com
Sheridan Creek Equestrian Center is a horse boarding facility located in Gardnerville Nevada. We specialize in the discipline of dressage but welcome everyone who is interested in riding to board with us. The facility is located in Gardnerville Nevada and consists of 36 acres. We have an indoor riding arena as well as several outdoor arenas. The purpose of this blog is going to be to talk about the horses at the facility and the general going on's in the horse world. Sheridan Creek currently has 5 horses. Attie a 11 year old thoroughbred mare out of seattle slew, Kelly a 20 year old Canadian Sport Horse out of Cosy's Commander. Kelly is currently in foal to Pablo and is due in July, Max a 20 year old appendix quarter horse (our lesson horse), cozette our boarders horse an kara a 28 year old arabian.
Well to start our story I should back track a few months and talk about Attie's ruptured peronious tertious and how we are planning on treating it. Attie unfortunately incurred a tragic accident about three months ago and we decided to have stem cell done to her. This will be the first time in the world that stem cell has been done on this tendon. Unfortunately Attie has about three inches of seperation between the two ends of the tendon and we felt that stem cell will give her the best chance of being able to get through this. The usual vet stem procedure only produces several thousand stem cells but we have decided to take her to davis and have them try something a little different. Instead of just incubating the cells for a few days the people at davis incubated them for three weeks. When we went in to have the stem cells injected into her they inject over 70 million cells. It was absolutely amazing you could actually see the stem cells attaching to the damaged part of the tendon. Attie handled the surgery very well. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay long to let her come out of the anestesia as the road conditions on highway 50 were starting to get bad and we did not want to have to spend the night on the road as we have many other nights. Attie now appears to be feeling better, we are taking her back to Davis next week to have her re-ultrasounded. She appears to be developing a cribbing habit since she has been in the stall for a very long time. We started giving her pony pops (http://www.sheridancreektack.com) which really appears to have solved her cribbing problem.
Tomorrow I will get everyone up to snuff on Kelly, Max's and my new horses Wincento's past
