UPDATE: Jack’s New Home

By

This morning we took Jack to his new home! We were so excited to take Jack to his new home, with an incredible new owner, Elisa P. We were ready to load Jack up into the trailer this morning, and brought Jack down to the open trailer on the street. He took one look at the open trailer, and decided to run the other way- literally. He dragged me for a few feet before I let go of the lead rope, but luckily he stopped pretty quickly. I walked him back to the trailer, but, again, he wanted nothing … [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...]
