Ferdinand!

By

On Sunday we welcomed Ferdinand into our flock of sheepies!  He was pretty sad to be separated from his other siblings, but Phillip and Magellan were very nice to him (well, Magellan did head-butt him once, but after that he was nice).   Ferdinand is Phillip and Magellan's half-brothers, so they are all family, after all. :) Ferdinand will stay in the sheep pen for a week or so until he gets settled in with our routine, and then he can come out with Phillip and Magellan to graze around the … [Read more...]

By

Hanaeleh's interns finished their 6 week program last week with a final and a sensory clinic.  At the clinic, the interns worked the horses around plastic bags, tarps, umbrellas, ladders, mazes, balls, etc. All of the horses (except Ulysses) went through the clinic and all of them did very well!  Quixote surprised us all by not caring about the plastic bags and by walking over the tarp with no issues!  Cricket and Rio were the Queen and King of the sensory clinic, however, by barely even … [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...]
