Working Together to Save Sissy the Shetland Pony

By

A few weeks ago we received an e-mail from a woman who had rescued two Shetland ponies. She had found a home for one pony, but the other pony mare was proving difficult to rehome- Sissy needed ointment in her eye regularly, and was not the most personable pony. We weren't able to take Sissy, but we offered to put her up on our network to see if we could find her a home.

UPDATE: Garnet Gets to Gallop!

Garnet gets … [Read more...]

Immunovet EQ

By

Hanaeleh participated in a short trial, feeding Immunovet EQ fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) to six of our horses for 45 days. It comes in a powder form, and was easy to add to their grain. Because it is fermented, it is much more stable than other wheat germ options, and has a longer shelf … [Read More...]
