Did you know that on our farm every horse is on a customized diet. No horse eats the same thing. Sarah and JoAnna are always working to make sure their horses are getting the best diet possible. We are forage based, which means we have everyone on a zero grain diet, and everything they eat is grass based which is closer to natural for them. We have some very specialized diets that help support the treatment of navicular disease, Cushings disease, insulin dysregulation, and diets that help keep our miniatures slim and trim. We are always researching and learning, and will change things based on each horses need.

Our girl had her belly checked today and we got some answers as to why she’s been a bit sensitive.

We love Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services, couldn’t ask for a better team. ❤️

Today coco made another visit to the vet. She’s got a few corneal ulcers and abrasions from itching her eye. Stupid allergies! I’m so thankful for the realationship that we have with Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services and for their new haul in facility. It makes things like this so convenient and a little more affordable.

Wondering how your horse is handling the sugars in the spring grass? Getting a baseline insulin blood test is a great screening tool to catch Insulin Dysregulation, even in horses who may look outwardly normal.

Insulin Dysregulation is a serious metabolic concern that can lead to laminitis. While it is most common in overweight/cresty neck horses, it can happen in horses who are at ideal body condition or even thin.

We recommend baseline insulin tests for all horses, because we always want to try to catch issues early before they become big (painful and expensive) problems!

JoAnna here! In April Coco was diagnosed with Cushings disease. I was terrified and devastated. If you don’t know what Cushings disease in horses is, it is also knows as Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID). It is believed that the condition is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland which cause hormonal imbalances that cause an array of health issues. Cushings is a progressive disease, but thankfully there is a medication to help slow it down. Coco is responding very well to the medication and to all of our other interventions. She’s finally acting like her self again, and has lost about 150 pounds. I’m hoping for my girl to live out a full life just like any other horse, and we will do everything in our power to make sure that she does. Here are some pictures of her progress. The first picture is from March and the second is from a few days ago. She has lost most of her fat pockets, and is developing more muscle. She also lost most of her winter coat, and only needed help with her belly and legs. I am so thankful for Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services for all of the help and advice they have provided through this difficult time.

Happy gotcha day to our Bingo boy! 1 year ago Bingo joined our farm, and we couldn’t imagine life without him! 💙

We had another photo shoot on the farm and our goofy horses did not disappoint. Sophie is such a goofball and yawned through most of the shoot

These nice days call for lots of riding and time spent with our equine friends.

You do not need a whip to urge an obedient horse. 😉

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Another vet day for Miss Coco Onyx. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated. We want to get this girl feeling better!

Today was vet and farrier day at the farm! We love our visits with Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services and Frank’s farrier services. They both help to keep our horses in top shape, and give them the best care around. Picture of Coco getting her teeth cared for!

There is something magical about being able to see a horse in such a vulnerable position. Being able to approach them and steal some cuddles is a blessing. Madison was able to steal some love during Sadie’s nap today, then her horse Sophie came over and layed near them. Madison was in heaven. ❤️

Bingo is really wondering when this wet stuff is going to go away, so that he can play outside with his friends.

03/04/2024

Days like these are much needed after a long winter in the horse world. Sophie is enjoying the 75 degrees and sunny weather today with a nap in the sunshine. No filter needed for this beautiful red girl!

Everyone meet Sadie! A little over a month ago this pretty girl joined our herd and we love her so much already. She belongs to Sarah and we can’t wait to watch this new relationship grow.

We love days like today! It was freezing, but we were still able to fit some riding time in with the bigs today.

Some of our horses are rocking their new tail bags to keep their tails out of the mud, and healthy. Here is Bingo and Sophie. Thanks to Classy and Flashy Tail bags

A few weeks ago Shannon van der Weide reached out to us about having Native American pictures taken. We instantly knew that Coco was perfect for the job, and that our property was just the cherry on top of it all. Yesterday was the perfect day for this beautiful shoot, and we are honored to have permission to share a few. Thank you so much to Shannon for allowing us to be a part of it.

We had an exciting weekend here at the farm. One of our horses was a paid model for a beautiful photo shoot yesterday and we can’t wait to be able to share a couple pictures with everyone.

And then our barrel racing team, Madison and Sophie also brought home a 1st place check from their barrel race. We are so proud of them both!

2 years ago today we were blessed with the opportunity to become this girls forever family. She is the best girl around and is loved more than she will ever know. Since Coco is not registered and we don’t know her birthdate we got to choose her birthday to be today. So, Happy 16th Birthday to this sweet sweet soul ❤️
