New Arrivals

Blueberry, a pretty welsh cob x mare who suffered a serious case of laminitis and founder. She suffered serious neglect that left her crippled, and starving. Blueberry's feet were left to grow until they coiled like a ram's horns, leaving her unable to walk. After many trips to the vet lab, and many trimmings, her disfigured feet remain abnormally shaped, and painful for her to walk on. She enjoys being brushed and fawned over, and makes a nice nanny to younger foals. Our hope is that Blueberry will enjoy a small period of time in which she is treated like a princess, before her time comes to be put down.

Thea, Zam, and Jigger, are three registered arabian horses that came to us from a family that was forced to give them due to an illness in the family. Because of the family's medical problems, the owners were unable to give them the attention they needed, and after a long period of struggling to meet their needs, they came to the difficult conclusion that they needed to moved to the farm. The horses arrived with several health problems including an infestation of lice, rain rot, and a fungal infection. Two suffered from a severe respiratory infection, and one had a terrible case of heaves, the worst I have ever seen. One was a bit underweight, and they all needed their feet to be trimmed. After changing their diet, worming, antibiotics, delousing, and grooming the horses have come around, and their health has improved dramatically. The horses were also lacking in handling, and were difficult to work with at first, but with a lot of hard work, they have been coming around. One has already been adopted, another's adoption is pending, and we are currently looking for a good home for the third.

Cupid and Phobe, are lambs of unknown breeding born on the farm on February 13^th. Their mother was a surrender we had taken in in the fall of 2005, and had come to us bred. Having been born on the coldest day of the winter to date, Phobe, the first born, was cold, and lifeless when found on my morning rounds. After warming her and feeding her a bottle of warm replacement milk, she started to come around, and on this day she is thriving. Her brother a bit small is growing well, and mama is a wonderful mother, with good instincts. Both lambs have been adopted and will move to their new home in the spring.
