Solace, Mollie, Sisco, and Some Old Ones

December 30th, 2013 

Many thanks to Karen and Steve – they picked up and delivered hay for us today!  This is Karen meeting Mollie.

Mollie’s HR and RR are still above normal but they are getting better.  She has more energy and is getting stronger.

This is where Mollie had a bed sore from struggling to try to get up the first few days.  The sore has healed and her new coat is growing.  It’s healthy and beautiful.  If you tilt your head a little, and use your imagination, it’s in the shape of a heart! 

I thought I got a better video today of Mollie, sorry, it’s not great but at least you can see how she is doing.  She ran and played, did the tail in the air and neck thing that Arabians do, accompanied by snorting.  She’s going to be ok.

Santana – THE perfect babysitter.  He has TONS of patience!  The mini’s take turns standing under him – it’s hilarious!  That’s Harvey’s backside you see under Santana in this photo.

We have some horses that will be needing help in order to get some vetting and x-rays done.  We need horse size Farnam Super Mask’s (double velcro) without ears.  Between the sand, sun, and lime rock dust that we have here, most of the horses wear a mask and they have to be changed daily.  We have enough of the long nose masks at this time.  

Solace – he’s been laying down more than usual, not finishing all of his food, and looks like he just doesn’t feel well at times.  He’s just not himself.  We’d like to have a physical done – including blood work.  

Sisco – he’s lame on the front right foot and needs x-rays.  Sisco is a cancer survivor and an awesome horse.  We’d like to find him a great forever home but we need to resolve this issue first.  He’s a 1987 model.  Sisco loves the mares and has no clue he’s over 15 yrs old.

CJ – he’s always had a bum left knee and is lame but he gets around pretty well but he will never be sound.  We’d like to have the knee x-rayed.  CJ needs a quiet home as a pasture pal where he won’t be as active as he is here.  He forgets about his knee and runs a lot here – it’s simply not good for him.  CJ is about 15 years young.

Cookie – I’d like to have the area where the cancer was removed near her left eye to be examined – there may be a new growth.  She also needs her front feet x-rayed.  Would anyone like to help with any of these needs?  I’d like to get on Dr. Porter’s schedule and get it all done on the same day.  

This is Little E, Sisco, and Gentleman in the photo.  Matilda is under the tree in the background.  These are our “old ones” that are simply amazing and are loved very much.

God bless and have a great night everyone!

Theresa

January 2, 2014 Update

Sue and her sister, June, visited with Ruby in the horrible weather today. The little Boston’s are Popper and Trixie! Trixie is a rescue. She came to us with Stage 4 heartworms and congestive heart failure a year ago and is now doing well.

Bonnie getting a little help from the peanut gallery. LOL

Kitty Cat

Oreo (a rescue) was all curled up and napping in the feed room. He still doesn’t seem to be feeling great but the vet says nothing is wrong.

Classy with Indy and Donovan in the background.

Gentleman and June. We had to rush to get horses brushed and blankets on this evening after the horses dried from the morning showers – but before another round of rain came through. Solace is tucked into a stall. He didn’t seem to feel well today and wanted to stay in. So, he’s next door to Bronson tonight. Bronson is tucked in next to Betsy Rose.

CJ is still looking for a home where he can be a pasture pal to one or two horses. He has a bum left front knee. Here, when other horses get to running, CJ wants to run too which isn’t good for him. He needs a much quieter home situation.

Sincerely,
Theresa

Betsy Rose’s New Year’s Surprise

"Raggedy Ann you look a little different! Is that a new outfit?"
"On no – I’m not Raggedy Ann, I’m Raggedy Jan – another one of her twin sisters! Surprise and Happy New Year! She has told us all about you and invited us to come! I brought my BFF, Little Brown Bear, too! Want to meet him?"

"Betsy Rose, meet Little Brown Bear! I call him Bear for short. He is so brave and smart! He helped save Moo Cow when her owner was taking her to market and then he saved Quackey Duck from being shot! Freckles gave us a warm welcome this morning before you woke up – she adores you just like a lot of humans do!"

"Thank you Freckles for welcoming our new friends! Why don’t you invite everyone else out to join us before the rains get here?"

Freckles introduced everyone and then they all started to share stories of their life adventures.

Betsy Rose, in her normal tradition, closed her eyes and seemed to say a little prayer of thanks. She is loved, so very much, by so very many, and she knows it! God granted us a miracle with her – she is a true blessing. We will continue to try to make all of her tomorrow’s everything her past should have been. Thank you all for caring about this little mare that BELIEVES!

"Do you all know that 2014 is "The Year of the Horse?" Mommy Theresa says some humans are working hard to ban horse slaughter, to change laws that would protect animals from starvation, abuse, neglect and abandonment. And to not only have laws put in place to protect us but to have them enforced! Yes, it’s going to be a wonderful year! Thank you all for caring about us!"

Happy New Year, Everyone!
