Atta girl!!! 🤩🤩. This is truly cowgirl tough and an amazing horse. The video is a must watch! Reined cowhorse is hard enough without having to do it with no bridle on a 4 year old at a major event! Well done!!!

Best mustache award goes to……. This guy! Gypsy vanners grow these incredible mustaches on their muzzles!!!!
They are even more impressive in the winter when dripping with icicles.

This cutie will be feeling much better after having a dental exam and treatment before heading off to the trainer!

Unfortunately my availability for any farm call appointments is extremely
limited and booked way out right now, but I can still work in haul-in appointments for dental work, lameness exams and treatment of a variety of other procedures.

Due to spotty cell service, text is usually the best and fastest way to get a response for booking appointments and other questions. 505-570-5701.

Who wants to play “I spy”? We had a cute little friend keeping us company today while working on some lovely horses. Can you spot it? And identify it?………Answer is there is a tiny bat on the door. Pic in comments. There were actually a lot of bats up in the rafters 😍🦇. Great mosquito eaters! Just don’t touch as they can carry rabies.

Foxtail alert!!

Dog owners!!!! Check for foxtails! So many dogs are having issues with foxtails currently - in the paws, in the ears, between the toes and even in the tonsils!!!! 😳. These grass awns from foxtails are nasty and they embed in the hair and then work their way under the skin. Dogs with a lot of hair on the paws (poodles, doodles, Cockers, schnauzers, or any other breed that typically needs regular grooming) are especially prone as the matted and curly hair attracts the foxtail awns. However, all breeds are affected! And some dogs even sniff the foxtails into their noses. These awns are nasty and work their way slowly through even intact healthy tissue and cause havoc and infection once embedded under the skin.

What can you do:

- Ideally pull foxtail plants out by the roots as soon as you see them
- Alternatively : Mow/weed whack foxtails (ideally before they form the typical foxtail heads)
- check your dogs paws daily - gently pet them and feel between the toes and under the paws daily
- groom or have your dogs groomed to remove as much hair from the paws and between the toes as possible right now!
