Huge Thank You to Havens Horse Feed

By

We recently received a donation of 60 (yes, 60!) bags of grain from Havens Horse Feed. They donated bags of both their Basis Sport pellets and the Power Plus Muesli. We have been feeding the horses the grain for the past few weeks and the horses LOVE it! We hadn't heard about Havens Horse Feed, but they are actually local in Orange County, and ship across the United States. Their feed is 100% all natural and they have a number of different types of feed available for different needs. You can … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Cody

By

A few months ago, we posted about Cody, a Missouri Foxtrotter who needed a new home. He had bucked off his owner, and she felt that he was no longer safe for her to ride. Cody found a wonderful new home with a woman named Stephanie, who had adopted one of our horses, Montana, a few years ago. Cody has fit in very well with her family, and sent us this update: He is a hilarious character and fits right in with our barn. He is super curious and well behaved. I ponied him all over before riding … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Austin

By

Many of you may remember our sweet boy, Austin, who we rescued last year. When we took him in, Austin had been abandoned by his owner because he was blind in one eye. He was underweight and his hooves were infected with a debilitating hoof bacteria. He still has scars on both hind legs from fungal infections that were not treated. We were able to put weight on him and after several farrier visits, we were able to eventually cut away the diseased hoof. In fact, he was doing so well, that we were … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Ollie had quite a bit of snot coming out of his nose- it was reminiscent of childhood snotty noses and pretty disgusting, to be honest. We wiped the area clean and contacted the vet, who said to put him on some antihistamines for a few days as several horses seemed to … [Read More...]

Venus’ New Shoes

By

Last month we noticed that Venus was beginning to look a little tender-footed. We noticed an indication of an old abscess that had burst and some bruising on her feet. We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]
