Maple View Farm

Maple View Farm Maple View Farm - a horse hoarder's Heaven - home to the horses of Cindy & Lizzie Allers. We have Standardbreds, STBDx, a QHxMorgan and Minis.

Maple View Farm was founded 1977 as a Standardbred breeding, training & racing farm. Eventually most of the mares left, the race horses were sold or retired and I got too tired of training & racing. The interim years had the farm home to Gracie’s Bluebelle & Christmas Blues(now deceased). My youngest daughter Lizzie got interested in horses and 19 years ago, 2002 we adopted our first OTTB, Lively

Danz (Dan), now deceased. In 2009 we acquired Shadow Dancer. We added in May 2012, Betty, a Nubian x Pygmy goat as a companion, and Dan adopted her as his goat. July 2012 Lizzie brought home from Vernon Downs, Big Enough (Goober) to add to another race retiree, Yankee Arnie. February 2020, Larry, an orphan Standardbred we fostered as a newborn, was given to us from our Amish neighbor, he was very lame and done as a buggy horse. February 2013, Napoleon, a mini, was a gift from my husband. Napoleon was lonely and in Sept. 2013 we added Summer and her foal Odin to the herd. October 2013 we were surprised with the arrival of Enough Already aka Felix, a foal of Dancer and Goobs. 2014 saw the arrival of Solstice, Odin’s sister. 2016 we welcomed Stormy, the foal of Summer & Napoleon. 2019 Angel came to us for a soft landing. Winter of 2020 Butterstuff came to spend the winter and is staying. Mini horse count is now 7.

Dozens of rodeo horses are dead after their treating veterinarian says they consumed feed that may have been tainted with monensin.

"Much is known about what has happened here that cannot yet be told," the veterinarian said. "But the bottom line on this story is that it’s an important one to tell, so this never happens to anyone else. I will say this: Never buy horse feed from a mill that makes cattle feed. Period. Please quote me on that. Every horse that ate this feed is dead."

Give up? They are all horses that have died recently in NY state from Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and there are many more. This is a 100% preventable disease through vaccination (you know, the “E” in your EWT). 🥺

🦟 Sometimes we hear, “my horse doesn’t travel so he doesn’t need these vaccines.” Nothing could be more false. EEE (and West Nile Virus) are transmitted through mosquitoes. Horses don’t need to travel to be exposed to mosquitoes.

Don’t skip a simple and affordable vaccine that will prevent a deadly, and increasingly more common, disease that IS in our area.

***Drivers Stay Alert***

Every year Upstate Trauma treats patients who are injured from motor vehicles involved in horse and buggy accidents. Let's do our part by staying extra vigilant and exercise caution in an effort to keep these riders safe!!

-Slow down when you see a buggy in either lane! Most travel 5-10 mph, you will approach it much faster than you think.
-Only pass when its safe and legal to do so!! When pulling back into the travel lane, the American Trauma Society recommends leaving 20 ft in front of the horse.

Most importantly get off your phones and pay attention to the road!

Mr. Tux has decided that I’m not such a bad human for vaccinating and neutering him. I call every morning and he comes into the feed room to get some breakfast. Each day he allows closer and closer interaction with me.

Good morning Mr. Tux. Glad to see you back by for a visit. This kitty 🐈‍⬛ is feral. He was trapped about 1.5 weeks ago in the barn looking for food. He was sedated, vaccinated, neutered, ear tipped then placed in a covered cage to recover for 2 days before being turned loose. He was very aggressive both in the trap and the cage. I used a long metal grabber rod to place and remove food and water from the cage. But he is no longer going to be contributing to cat over-population in the area. I am a firm advocate for trap and release of stray and feral cats. This is the closest we ever are to him. I’m sure he has come by to see if he can get some food. I leave a large bowl of barn cat food out at all times.

Morning feeding with ‘help’ from the barn cats!

Some of the bigs were feeling a little frisky when the rain started this afternoon.

Fun in the snow today ❄️🥶

And out they go. What a beautiful fall day in central NY.

Let’s head to the back field. Everybody wants to get in my personal space!

A thought-provoking read. By Jane Smiley Most horses pass from one human to another - some horsemen and women are patient and forgiving, others are rigorous and demanding, others are cruel, others are ignorant. Horses have to learn how to, at the minimum, walk, trot, canter, gallop, go on trails and maybe jump, to be treated by the vet, all with sense and good manners. Talented Thoroughbreds must learn how to win races, and if they can't do that, they must learn how to negotiate courses and jump over strange obstacles without touching them, or do complicated dance like movements or control cattle or accommodate severely handicapped children and adults in therapy work. Many horses learn all of these things in the course of a single lifetime. Besides this, they learn to understand and fit into the successive social systems of other horses they meet along the way. A horse's life is rather like twenty years in foster care, or in and out of prison, while at the same time changing schools over and over and discovering that not only do the other students already have their own social groups, but that what you learned at the old school hasn't much application at the new one. We do not require as much of any other species, including humans. That horses frequently excel, that they exceed the expectations of their owners and trainers in such circumstances, is as much a testament to their intelligence and adaptability as to their relationship skills or their natural generosity or their inborn nature. That they sometimes manifest the same symptoms as abandoned orphans - distress, strange behaviors, anger, fear - is less surprising than that they usually don't. No one expects a child, or even a dog to develop its intellectual capacities living in a box 23 hours a day and then doing controlled exercises the remaining one. Mammal minds develop through social interaction and stimulation. A horse that seems "stupid", "slow", "stubborn", etc. might just have not gotten the chance to l
