UPDATE: Brutus’ Surgery

By

Today was Brutus' gelding surgery at Hanaeleh Horse Rescue.  We are very thankful for the vets from Dr. Secor's office who came out to do his geld at the facility where we are keeping Brutus, so we did not have to transport him to the clinic.  Brutus did very well during and after the surgery, which was relatively quick and simple- while only one testicle was visibly dropped, the other was still easily accessed. There is apparently a superstition on the racetrack that says that if you throw … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Brutus, Our Latest Rescue

By

Many of you have asked for a Brutus update - we have some wonderful news! On Saturday, Brutus got his feet done by our farrier.  He was good (for not having had his feet done in a long time, anyway).

Realistically, due to time and money, we do not have the ability to take another horse on.  Knowing this, however, doesn't change the impossible situations we are put in on a regular basis. The afternoon started out with a cancellation to see one of our horses- life … [Read more...]

Ladybug’s Colic Adventure

By

While the warm winter days might be a dream for those who enjoy the beach in February, the extreme changes in temperature (80 degrees during the day/40 degrees at night) can be detrimental to horses, as these changes can lead to colic. While we do our best to ensure the horses drink enough water and … [Read More...]
