UPDATE: Brutus

By

UPDATE: Brutus is doing well and is still growing! He is getting towards 16 hands now, and promises to be a big boy!  He is keeping his weight on, which is great, and has a nice thick winter coat.  His feet were so bad when we got him that we are still waiting for them to completely grow out, but they are doing better.  His conformation is still such that he should not do anything terribly stressful like endurance, jumping, etc. He will be a very nice pleasure/trail horse when he is all grown … [Read more...]

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...]
