UPDATE: Trabuco Canyon, CA- Pepper (Missouri Foxtrotter)

By

Great news!  We heard from Pepper's owner that someone is going to help take on the costs of Pepper!  The best news is that Pepper will stay at the stable where he has lived for the past several years, and his stablemate Mocha will be able to keep him as his friend for now. :) We are so very happy that the network has helped take the financial burden off of Pepper's owner, while also helping to pair up Pepper with a new potential owner. Thank you everyone who helped network this boy! … [Read more...]

Somis, CA: QH mare abandoned- needs home!

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...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

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...]
