I would like to introduce you to our newest HHER resident -- Hermes.
Hermes transferred to us as of November 1 upon the passing of his Mom, Mary. 💙
He is a 21 year old Belgian Draft cross who experiences reoccuring bouts of cellulitis. As he boarded at our home farm for many years, we are familiar with the issue and the care he requires to keep him happy and comfortable. Accordingly, Hermes' transfer to HHER has been a seamless transition for him.
Hermes was a Premarin Foal whom Mary obtained from the Rutgers University NAERIC Young Horse teaching and research program in May, 2005. For several years in the early 2000's, the Rutgers Equine Studies program ran this project for the students with Premarin foals from Hyatt Ranch in North Dakota, which culminated at the end of each Spring Semester with an auction on Ag Day. Mary was the lucky bidder of RU Hermes and then enjoyed a long loving partnership with him. .
