Saturday evening I noticed that our senior boarder, Vinny, had a swollen area on his cheek. Sunday he had some bloody discharge but no fever. Vet came out Tuesday and after xrays discovered he has a fractured zygomatic bone. Minimal trauma to the skin but possible MOI is kick by other horse or significant blow to a tree/run In shelter. He is on pain meds, antibiotics and SMZs. Send this cool old man some good vibes!

Hi families!
It’s that time-camp is next week! I have all your liability releases and shirt sizes. If you have not sent the remaining balance of $250 per camper, please do that by Friday.

Please apply sunscreen for your kiddos so they are ready to go. I recommend either a swimsuit or extra set of clothes for the creek time. Crocs or water shoes are good for the creek but not for the horses. Sneakers or boots are preferred for riding time.

See you all Monday the 29th!

Jacob Koogle is one of the original Koogles that made up the history of Koogle Stables. So wonderful that Myersville honors him. He is buried at Saint Paul cemetery behind Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Myersville.

Interesting article. I personally have five different feed scoops that are all different sizes. Each has their purpose for the type of grain or supplement I use it for. The smallest scoop hold 1 quart of peleted feed where the largely holds a little over 5 quarts of pelleted feed.

A good standard horse scoop holds 3 quarts which is equivalent to roughly 3 pounds of feed.

Ask anyone how much they feed their horse, and they will usually answer with the number of scoops, quarts, cups, or coffee cans. Ask an equine nutritionist for feeding recommendations, and they will answer with how many pounds (or kilograms) to feed. Is there a difference? What is a typical…
