Aiden Training Update
Quick update on Aiden, who has now been in training for one month. He is progressing well, albeit a bit slowly at first. He got kicked by another horse right after he arrived so he got a delayed start while that healed, and then he turned out to be a bit of a bronc…
Romeo Update
Dr. Hannah called me tonight to let me know that she developed the xrays and they confirmed what we suspected…Romeo has suffered further catastrophic injury to his leg. It was helpful to be able to compare the xrays to the previous ones we took, while the leg was…

Zanadu’s potential adoption unfortunately fell through. Some concerns over her soundness in her right knee were raised by the vet which caused the adopter to back out of the adoption. We had Dr. Hannah out the following week to further evaluate her knee, which is…

Everybody wants a horse they can ride. I say that any horse that would permit a human to sit on him has a serious lack of dignity. I say if humans want to go around in circles, they are fully capable of doing so under their own power. I had to do some righteous…
Lucky update
Lucky is doing fabulous! He has graduated to turnout in the round pen which he is quite happy about. He tolerates stall rest very well, but he’s a young, active horse with a lot of energy, so actually getting some time to stretch his legs makes him much more…
Sophie Update
Volunteer trainer Laura McCorkle has been spending some time with Sophie over the last few months. Here is a little about what Laura has to say bout this young mare: “Sophie is a lovely, willowy, long-legged teenager — with all the good and sometimes aggravating…
