Orange County, CA: QH mare needs home ASAP!

By

This little Quarter horse mare is from the same stable that we rescued the Arabian mares from a few weeks ago.  She is about 14 years old.  The owner of the stables took this mare in on a trade, and she has been used in a lesson program for the past several months. She has a swollen knee, and is going to be sent to auction if we cannot find a place for her.  The owner says he would rather not have to send her to the auction, but will do so knowing fully that she may be purchased by a killer … [Read more...]

Rescue Story: Two Arabian Mares are Safe!

By

The Grey Mares are Safe! It was pouring rain when we drove up to the stable early Friday-after-Thanksgivingmorning. We met Kathy, the woman who told us the two mares were destined for slaughter because their owner had stopped coming out or paying for them.  She led us to the two mares who were standing in a paddock, in inches of mud and muck. Their shelter was quite small, and the mares were soaked from standing in the rain. Kathy said she had purchased a rake, buckets, and other supplies, … [Read more...]

Orange County, CA: 2 Arabian Mares Need Home ASAP!

By

Please crosspost! I received a call Wednesday night from someone who has been taking care of two Arabian mares for the past several months (mucking out the stall, getting their feet done, brushing them, etc. She has not been paying board and has NO contact with the owner). The owner has not come to see the horses in several months, and the board is in arrears. The manager of the stable has allegedly told the woman taking care of the horses that the horses have been abandoned and are being sold … [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

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...]
