Lexie Update

By

First of all, thank you to all of those people who have donated to Lexie's cause!  It is so very much appreciated! Lexie is continuing to do well. Today Emily and I spent about a half an hour bathing her hind legs and under her tail. We would have given her a full bath, but the weather was not cooperating, so that will have to wait. Misa spent a long time brushing her out yesterday, and Emily brushed out her mane and tail again today.  Lexie has been very patient through all of our … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Lexie is at Hanaeleh

By

Some of you may remember Lexie, a little Quarter horse we helped to rescue last year.

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...]
