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). They will need a few more trims before they are back to normal, but at least things are now headed in the right direction. On Monday, our vet came out to assess Brutus for a geld. EXCELLENT NEWS! While only one testicle is descended, the vet could feel the other one, so he can do a regular … [Read more...]

New Horse at Hanaeleh

By

As many good horse stories go, this one starts out with the best of intentions, and ends with a shot of tequila. First of all, I must note that we are really at capacity at this point- I have a waiting list of three horses. 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...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

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

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...]
