Just a quick update for everyone...........God is good and there are good people in the world who see the damage other humans have done and want to help. Thank you to Andrea and Shannon for taking Spect's Solution to get him evaluated by a top notch veterinarian and treated. He will return once he is on the road to healing.
Thank you to Lynnette and Amy, who came down Saturday. It was fun spending many hours together talking Standardbreds and horses in general........sharing stories, and thanks for helping me fill tanks, muck stalls, and especially thanks for helping me bring Miss Molly P and Chevie up and in stalls for the night. Molly left this morning for the trainer. I cried. She stood, haltered, like a stone in the barn. I felt I had let her down, having her standing around our place for so long without working with her. Still it is selfish to keep her here where we cannot work on her trust issues in a consistent manner. She is a liability for the children that come to the farm - she kicks and strikes. So it was for the best, but Chevie was very upset and it made me feel guilty for taking her from him. Thank you Heather (also has Ain't Nothin New at her place).
Sarajevo is off to foster care - depending on how the family gets along with her she may be adopted. Thank you Sabrina!
Flaunting It is still here. I de=loused her yesterday. Plan to carefully worm her this week. It is amazing but true - she has gained weight since coming several days ago! If this continues, we realize that most of her condition was simply due to a lack of food and shelter - NOT ACCEPTABLE. Emily brought down some spray-on solution for rain rot - will get to that tomorrow. Thank you Emily! Thanks Bonnie and Deb for stepping up to want to help this old mare, too!
Every one of you are amazing. And special thanks to Ray and Alice and Andrea and Deb D. for your donations this week - we've got hay!!!
More pictures to come!
