Delilah got her feet trimmed today and those long, flared feet trimmed up. Hereās the summary I sent to AC: Delilah was showing lameness in her left hind right after having her hoof flexed for trim and then set back down for a few steps and then got better. Seemed toā¦
Baxter Update from Jan 26ā28, 2010
Jan 26 Baxter is not gaining as much weight as we would hope to see by now (7 1/2 weeks post-rescue). Heās eating fairly well ā pretty much all the hay he can eat until he wastes it ā but he wastes a lot of his grain dumping it on the ground and refusing to eat it. Iā¦

Annie Update from Jan 16 2010
I rode Annie today and she continues to do really well. She is fairly solid W/T/C and we are starting to learn leg yeilding, first at the walk and then at the trot and she is picking it up so well. This has got to be one of the most intelligent horses I have ever met!ā¦

The Paddock Paradise Project
Turnout. Every horse owner wants to provide more of it, but thatās often easier said than done. Land is expensive, and here in the Pacific Northwest, our winters and our horses can turn a lovely pasture to mud faster than you can say āWhat happened to my lovelyā¦
