Introducing Freya: Her Rescue – Part One

By

Freya's Rescue - Part One of Two When we write about taking in a rescue, we often talk about the time in which we pick up the horse, and then discuss the rehabilitation process.

Sometimes the backstory is even more drama-filled than the rescue itself; this is one of those stories.  Last month we were … [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.
