Hanaeleh Horses: Yearly Vaccinations

By

Yesterday our horses got their second set of vaccinations. All of Hanaeleh's horses are vaccinated yearly with strangles, West Nile (unless they have an allergic reaction), and a 4-way shot, which includes both Eastern and Western encephalomyelitis, tetanus, rabies and flu-rhino. Last week our horses received their West Nile and strangles vaccines. Luckily all of our horses right now are able to receive the West Nile vaccine, as the disease does kill a number of horses in Southern California … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

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.

Venus’ New Shoes
