Introducing Titan!

By

We received word this week from our veterinarian about a horse who was in need of a home, due to a long layup needed. His owner was unable to continue to rehab him, so he needed an immediate home. Titan is a 14 year-old Irish Sport Horse/Hanoverian gelding. He was an eventer in his previous life, although his owner solely rode him in dressage. Titan has a condition called "kissing spine," which causes pain when worked in more strenuous conditions. He is with us, however, because of severe … [Read more...]

By

Last week I met with Hannah Hess, a staffer for Mimi Walters. Mimi Walters is the representative for our area, and unfortunately, she is not a co-sponsor for HR 1942, the SAFE Act. I met Hess in Walter's office in Irvine. I was somewhat surprised that Hess was not familiar with the bill, so I reviewed the information about the bill and how it would prevent horses from being transported over the borders and slaughtered. She was very friendly and polite and I discussed the reasons why the SAFE … [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

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...]
