Due to the high volume of emergencies and unpredictable road access I will only be seeing emergencies tomorrow. I hope to resume normal appointments on Tuesday but I am unsure at this time. The vet truck is full of gas now so that is at least one positive thing!

Helene hit us hard. Scott and I are
Working hard to clean up all the debris and assess all the damages. We are without power but Thankfully our neighbors have a tree service and helped us get a tree that was about to finish cracking and hit the new clinic. We have horrible cell service if you are needing veterinary care please text me as phone calls are not working. Stay safe out there everyone!

Wanted to say thank you to Red Clay Soap for making my day with flowers and kind words. Also if you haven’t tried their soap it is all we use. Get dirty, live clean!

Update on baby Beau!!! I have been going out twice a week since surgery and we have
Made a ton of improvement! Spent some time with him today grooming him in the sun and making him look handsome. He is starting to come out of his shell and starting to show some personality. We still have a long road ahead but he is healing great so far!

Every one meet Beauregard. This is one lucky horse to have found Hasty’s Haven to help him. I called Joann yesterday and sent her the Facebook post and she immediately jumped into action as she always does to help him. This poor horse has had Barbwire in his foot for who knows how long. He is the sweetest most respectful gelding about his foot never offering to kick or be bad. We successfully removed the larger piece of wire and debrided the wound today. I so glad he didn’t get run through another auction. Please consider donating to help with his continued care!

Cold Nights Advisory
❄️ 🧊 ❄️ 🧊 ❄️ 🧊 ❄️

Let's talk about colic prevention during cold weather. If you are feeding grain, it's a great idea to soak it and possibly top dress with electrolytes or table salt.

Make sure your horses have plenty water and a salt lick or loose salt.

So excited to post about our 2023 Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover broodmare (mom to 4), Summer Chant, ridden and shown by our amazing and empathetic working student, Rebecca Jones.

What a lovely and generous mare. Adopted from Second Stride, Inc. in the middle of July and with less than 90 days to prep for the RRP this classy mare did not disappoint! Her bloodlines are riddled with million dollar runners and her Great Grand dam was the 2004 KY broodmare of the year. Chantilly, as we call her, is a laid back mare who is always willing to try. We entered into the Broodmare Division (which we are totally in awe of) in Dressage and this special mare placed third! The good ones just always make you so grateful!

Thank you to Second Stride for trusting us with this beautiful soul! Shout out to Erin Butler, Katie Bowman, Emily Burniston, and Rachel Craig of Kentucky Blue Equine Massage Therapy for all your support! And lastly to Dr. Kate DVM
for her unwavering help with all of our four leg creatures!

Our little Charlie doesn’t get much attention around here. We rescued her along with a baby donk from a local auction last year. She came in very sick with over grown curved hooves and walked on her ankles. I’m happy to say this old girl (30+) is doing well, her little legs have straightened and her hooves are almost normal thanks to our amazing farrier Brian Simmons. For a while there we couldn’t get her stomach right and she suffered from massive diarrhea, thanks to our badass vet Dr. Kate DVM that also is no longer an issue. Charlie is the little mascot around the farm and pretty much does what she wants! Her favorite pals are Maple, Hazel and Gold. Her stall mate is Teeter and well…they just tolerate each other 😂

Farrier day is next week and sweet Charlie would love a sponsor ($40). 😊

All things HH😊👇

Today was a hard day as a veterinarian. We said good by to a horse who was so loved his entire life and he was let go in the kindest of ways. A beautiful place of resting surrounded by the ones who loved him and cherished every minute with him. As Dr. Seuss said “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
To a baby who was failed by humans, put on a trailer for 24 hour with a broken septic elbow. She laid down for us to work on her and was such a broken sole it was hard to see.
Give your horses and extra hug and a kiss tomorrow. Sometimes we forget how lucky we are to have them in our lives.
