November 18th, 2013 Update

I’m on my way out the door for a dental appt but want to start everyone’s day here with a smile. Remember Vegas (aka Sonny)? He’s a happy boy! The young lady looks pretty happy too.

“Freckles! I think I heard the door to the feed room – my mush is being served again!”

Our little herd of mini’s lining up for breakfast…

Baby Ray had a follow up vet exam and he is doing great!

Eagle has landed in his adoptive home!

Have a great night everyone!

Introducing Eagle Oct 24, 2013

I apologize that this didn’t go out last week – I just found it in my “Draft” folder.

Remember Elian? He had been on the ground for a couple of days before we got a call on September 19, 2013, to see if we could help. When we arrived Dr. Ryan did all he could – he ran fluids and gave meds – we tried to help Elian get up but he just could not put weight on his back leg. Dr. Ryan believed there was a fracture. Elian also had a large open wound that wasn’t new – it appeared to have been there for a couple of weeks. Elian suffered. He did. I hope and pray that in the few hours that I was with Elian, he felt love. We Elian now flies with the Heavenly Herd.

The pony that we got a call about on Wednesday from an anonymous person was at the same farm that Elian lived at. Sadly, this pony saw his friend Elian suffer for days and was with him when he crossed Rainbow Bridge. We have named Elian’s friend, Eagle. Eagle was living on sand and standing in poop and he was pretty depressed.

Thankfully, others saw Eagle suffering and picked up the phone and made a call for help. They likely saved his life. The owner reluctantly released Eagle to us and he is here and safe now – we just need to pray he works through his colic. He was examined and treated for colic immediately after he arrived. He had an irritated gut due to both parasites and sand.

Eagle looks tired, very tired. Maybe it’s relief?

Sincerely,

Theresa

Adoptions, New Friends, Hooficures and More

October 26th – 27th, 2013

We hope everyone had a great weekend. It’s been very busy here, as usual.

Some really bittersweet news – our darling donkeys, Penny and Penelope will be going to their adoptive home in just a few days! They are hilarious and we’re going to miss them terribly. But they are going to have a blast in their new home. Their adoptive family fostered Story for us – they are only a few miles away. They are going to be spoiled rotten! They will have their own home and humans for the holidays!

Penny and Penelope

Bronson meeting Penny on Saturday. So cute!

Bronson and Penny

Kylie went with me to spend time with Dayo and Fiona on Saturday. We distracted Fiona with some hay so Dayo could focus on us. I usually go alone but I wanted to gently try to move Dayo a little forward today and thought it best that someone go with me. Plus, it gives Dayo another human who he can learn to trust.

Dayo

Major accomplishment on Saturday! We totally enclosed Dayo in the coral panels where he had no place to go but into the trailer. Kylie sat in front of the trailer and I was behind him controlling the coral panels. He was attentive to both of us but he never got upset once. The noise from a squeaky door made him jump a couple of times, but he didn’t try to bolt and run away. He was very calm about it. Baby steps.

Dayo

Dayo and I had a long conversation today about his future. He is now sticking his head inside the trailer to eat his hay while his back feet remain outside on the ground. I’m moving the hay further into the trailer each day. He’s calmly staying behind the coral panel pen that leads to the trailer. He doesn’t seem to be very worried about being able to run as he was even a week ago when something startled him. He just sort of jumps in place and then settles back down. Fiona happily munched on her own hay as I was working with Dayo.

Dayo

Look at that backside! There’s a lot of power there! I don’t want Dayo to have a bad experience. And my time with him is my quiet time. I hate the thought of him potentially getting hurt if pushed too hard – he may never let anyone doctor him. We are making progress so I’m happy.

Dayo

Here’s Betsy Rose on Sunday – she’s enjoying the weather – we all are!

Betsy Rose

Peggy Sue got her hooficure on Sunday. We have to put her in the sling in order for Laura to do her feet. For those that don’t know Peggy Sue, she has a bum back leg. It’s basically straight – it doesn’t bend. Her pelvis was fractured in a few places many years ago when her owners pulled her baby from her. Many thanks to Kim and Laura for their help and patience!

Peggy Sue

Eagle got a hooficure yesterday, too. Kim gently rubbed his face and neck and introduced him to some calming oils. But he was fine – a very sweet horse!

Eagle

Have a great week everyone!

Theresa
