The vet is on the way. Starbuck needs prayers again – we found him with a large tooth dangling in his mouth this am. He can’t nurse or eat. I don’t know if he injured himself or what is going on but it looks horrible and painful.

Also, Gentleman has a rear leg injury on the right side. Dr. Adam will be examining him too.

A coggins has been pulled on Mia, the black mare.

What a way to start the day…

Mia met her new human family today and it was awesome!! Everyone clicked – she’s going to get lots of attention – I’m very happy for her.

When it was time to go Mia wanted to go too! She will make the short trip to her new home on Wednesday. I can’t wait! Thanks everyone – great job!

To say it’s been very busy here would be an understatement. Here we go again…

This black 7 yr old TB mare needs a safe place to go ASAP. The owner was evicted from the farm and can’t take the mare with her so she said she will call the local rendering company to shoot her and haul her away. A person that works on the farm alerted me to her. I went to visit the mare and she is a baby doll that wants to trust. You can feel it and see it in her eyes. She’s never been raced and has basically been living feral. She hasn’t been treated nicely but doesn’t hold it against you. Her feet need to be done, she’s had no vaccinations, she needs a coggins, etc. She has a horribly matted mane with sticker berries in it. She is of good weight and is about 15.3 hh.

She was very inquisitive with me and I feel she really wants to learn how to have a good relationship with a human. She is fearful yet very curious. You can see in her eyes how beautiful she is – I think the eyes really are a window to the soul. She came over to me and put her head down so I could rub her head between her eyes. I squatted down and we spent a few minutes getting to know each other. I didn’t want to leave without her.

This lovely mare is located near us – Morriston, FL. Now the owner wants $100 for the mare and we need another $30 for a coggins. We can’t bring her here but we are working on finding a home – can anyone help in any way?

I just received a call from Story’s foster parents – Story is down and won’t get up. I called Jenny and Diane to go there – they are just around the corner and am impatiently waiting for a call back. This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago – Story looks great. I’ll update again when I know more.

Starbuck is doing better each day. His legs are becoming stronger as are his whinnies! We’re still treating his belly button to help to prevent infection he has what is called Patent Urachus. He is still on antibiotics. His mom, Bella, isn’t producing much milk but he has come to like milk replacer. While he was pretty calm the first few days he was here (he was a preemie and his knees were pretty unsteady) he now would love to get out of his stall to play but that won’t be happening for a few more days – we’re following Drs. orders. We’re all amazed at how he is progressing but we won’t let our guard down – he has a ways to go.

His mom, Bella, had her teeth done over the weekend – which she needed. Dr. Bess says she is about 20 years young. Bella is a very sweet mare that loves her baby to no end.

Starbuck and his mom are still in need of sponsors. They use a lot of shavings and his milk replacer is pretty expensive. He will be on antibiotics for a few more days. Donations are greatly appreciated and donations are tax deductible. No amount is too small! Thank you!
