10grand reached well done to all involved :D

To our dear followers, it’s Nicole here, adoption and foster intake co-ordinator of our rescue. I’m reaching out for urgent help tonight. It’s for precious Trevor. I wish I didn’t need to ask for donations just straight after new year. A time of celebration and joy. A time to be with family but to be honest we have no choice.

Rescue doesn’t discriminate. Rescue doesn’t stop in the new year. We must do whatever we can to investigate what is wrong as he continues to cough up blood. We don’t have any time to lose. We must act fast so need urgent donations.

I’m hoping at least 12 of you can kickstart our urgent fundraiser for Trevor by clicking here now: https://sunraysia-animal-rehousing-group.mygiveeasy.com/urgent-help-needed-for-trevor/donatenow

Poor precious Trevor. Trevor is a Rhodesian Ridgeback Cross. He's a beautiful boy who was dumped at one of our carer’s doors in the early morning.

Trevor was with our initial carer for 3 weeks and then we were able to place him into our foster carer network in a home.

From the day he arrived he had a hacky cough that went for over 3 weeks that then progressed to phlegm and then blood. We thought it was a kennel cough initially however after trying medication after medication, it just didn’t go away. Trevor has had numerous overnight ICU stays with nursing care due to how extreme the coughing and hacking and his inability to breathe properly.

Trevor's condition is chronic, painful and debilitating as it affects his breathing and eating. It pains us so much to see him not being able to walk and run like he should.

We’ve just conducted some extensive x-rays to see if we can work out exactly what is wrong. It seems as though he has a bone fragment lodged which will require surgery. Too sad for words.

We must do whatever we can for Trevor. He’s come so far and been through so so much.

We were put on this planet to help precious animals like Trevor in their darkest hours. We will not let him down. However, we need your help tonight to relieve some of the financial stress we are facing.

We need to raise at least $10,000 to pay off all the vet bills that Trevor has built up and to make sure we can continue to do whatever we can for Trevor. There is still a long road ahead for Trevor.

Just $5 from each and every one of you would get us to our goal. It’s the cost of your next cup of coffee but one that will help us so very much.

If you can please write the word DONE below after you have donated and please please share this post far and wide. We need to do this for Trevor. We really do need this post to go viral.

This is our time of need. We are all anxious. Doing all we can for Trevor but desperately need these funds right now as you can imagine.

Much love always and thank you so much ###x.

Making decisions about rugging is much easier when you realise just how different horses are from humans. The temperature range where we feel comfortable (our thermoneutral zone, or TNZ) is much higher and narrower than horses.

In general, horses are comfortable between 5-25℃, whilst humans are comfortable between 25-30℃. That means that we feel cold before horses do, but horses feel hot before we do.

Horses would feel the cold more if they are old, ill, injured and cannot move, or clipped.

The PCA Horse Welfare Policy advises owners to be aware of the horse’s ThermoNeutral Zone (5C – 25C) and use rugs appropriately to protect against cold but prevent overheating. Check rugs daily and horses weekly for signs of abrasions and rubbing.

If it is 3C when you leave home for school or work, but it will reach 20C, get the rugs off before you go.

Here’s a test for you:
If rugged, would the horse’s coat be dry (no sweat) underneath the rugs, if you checked under them during the warmest part of the day?

When you've got a horse acting up, not quite fitting the plan, it might feel like a total mess.

BUT, guess what? This is your golden ticket!

The horse that pushes you to learn more will be your best teacher, helping you grow!

Working with Dan the man. The new project ottb.
Using our recycled material round yard.

With Equitation Science we have a new way in asking questions.

We had our first ride and it wasn’t the best no one got hurt but we found that there are several issues including some not so clear signals meaning we were lacking In ground communication. Once we fix this we should be able to try again and have more confidence to go forward.

I don’t believe it’s natural to have horses backing and backing to a point there is no stop to the point they sit on their behind or fall over themselves causing injury. We didn’t get to that point and as I noticed escalation we stopped when we got forward and I hoped off. My wonderful partner filmed it so the footage isn’t shown as the quality is poor.

With Equitation Science we strive to communicate with little arousal and flight as possible. Even I have had to learn to be more quiet in my handling and not aggressive in correction but only reward the slightest try.

He can pick up his leads correctly in his canter work and he looks amazing when he canters head down stretching his topline.

Let the journey begin.
