Interesting Sunday

Again no pictures. Too busy. Maggie B. hadn't eaten for a couple of days and just couldn't swallow. We finally got her caught in the lower barn and she got 2 shots. Boy, is she feeling better. She drank and drank and is her old perky self. She'll stay in the barn a couple of days while we watch her.
Her buddies Sugar and Posey wanted to be with her and their fence was in bad shape so Brian and Jim fence mended. Now the girls will just have to wait until she comes back.
Juan's foot was so sore he couldn't set it down. Aaron came and found a huge abscess. It went from the top of the hoof clear to the bottom. Aaron got it opened and draining, then we soaked the foot. Juan should be feeling better soon.
Quest and Bobbie are fattening nicely as is Charles.
Belle is moving so much better. More shots for her.
There are a few coughs in the herd and Pico's and Breezy Summer's sores are still draining, but no new sickness today. Keep your fingers crossed.
Home At Last has many great supporters. Bonnie and Mike are two. Mike is a finish carpenter and makes absolutely beautiful items. Call him if you need any construction work 530-534-9289
It is hard for us to understand how some people can look at a very thin horse and say they are fine. Yes, some of our horse have lost weight while they were sick, but we are doing everything we can to fatten them. The folks we are talking about let their horses get thinner and thinner and do nothing. They don't call a vet. They don't feed more. They do nothing , then get mad if someone tries to help. Speak up when you see this. Be the voice for those who can't speak for themselves. Thank you to all of you who do this.
