Thank you Mother Nature for these past couple days above freezing. It was just enough to soften up the "chunks" in the paddocks. Tonight we were able to clean and level the pens, and as a bonus, our sand pile was thawed enough we could get some fresh scoops in to fill the low areas.

Everything's super smooth, the entrance mats have been put down, and the horses are in the other barn until it freezes solid and smooth. Looking at the forecast, that won't be long.

We should be all set for the winter now, so bring on the cold, we're ready!! 😁🥶

🐴🎆The Midwest Horse Fair is constantly striving to provide quality entertainment opportunities to both horse owners and those who just love horses. Liberty Run is one such opportunity! Liberty means freedom and this is just what every horse loves to show off during the Liberty Run presentations. 🌟

🏇Each day horses are individually turned loose in the Blain's Farm & Fleet Coliseum. Each horse has up to two minutes, based on their comfort level and performance, to strut their stuff and be cheered by the adoring crowd.

Some horses may take off galloping at full speed, others may buck, rear and toss their heads to test out their freedom, while others may show off by moving through their various gaits. All of this is performed without a halter, bridle or saddle. This is a great opportunity to spotlight your magnificent horse, its breed and talents with Midwest Horse Fair attendees!

➡️If you want to showcase your horse during Liberty Run, please visit https://midwesthorsefair.com/bring-your-horse/apply/liberty-presentations to apply before November 1st. Don't forget to include a video with your application.

We look forward to seeing you at the Midwest Horse Fair, April 11-13, 2025 at Alliant Energy Center, Madison, Wisconsin. 😀

We weren't able to attend the Upper Midwest Buckskin Horse Association futurity show this year due to my bum knee, but now that I'm catching up on things, I see one of our homegrown babies won the Champion of Champions title! Congratulations to Bianca Seehafer & Hez Ultimately Cool on a successful weekend!

Whoo hoo! It's a good day! I woke up early & was able to sneak out of the house & get chores done without Les even knowing! First time I've done chores in almost 2 weeks. All the horses got scratches, I got some, we got stalls stripped & bedded, and my rock star husband is now reloading the barn with shavings. My physical therapist would probably tip over if he saw me. 😲 But hey, there's no better physical therapy than doing what you normally do, right??? 😉

But now, being the good patient I am, I will be proactive and grab some ice packs & resume my position in the recliner. 🤕

This is a little too close to home! This is the county we live in. We lost a horse from West Nile many years ago when it first became present in Wisconsin. It was not pretty. We are fully vaccinated against it now, just hoping the vaccines do what they are supposed to. With all the rain, we have had a bumper crop of mosquitos this year. 😓

Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection

Marquette County Horse Confirmed with West Nile Virus

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 23, 2024
Contact: Kelly Mella, Public Information Officer, (608) 440-0294, [email protected]

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) confirms that an unvaccinated gelding in Marquette County has tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV). It is the state’s first confirmed case of WNV in a horse this year. In 2023, DATCP documented five cases of WNV in horses; access an online map of the 2023 cases.

Symptoms of WNV in horses include fever, loss of coordination, hind-end weakness, depression, loss of appetite, muscle tremors, teeth grinding, inability to swallow, head pressing, excessive sweating, and going down with an inability to rise. The disease can cause brain inflammation in horses and people, and it is fatal in 30-40% of horses showing signs of illness.

While people can be infected by WNV, the virus does not pass directly between humans and horses. The only route of transmission is from a mosquito bite. Mosquitoes transmit the virus from birds, which serve as natural reservoirs for WNV. Since humans and equines get WNV from mosquitoes, the threat of WNV is normally highest when mosquitoes are most active, from middle to late summer until the first killing frost. The first WNV infections of 2024 in human and bird samples were recently announced by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS). The infections confirm that there are mosquitoes infected with WNV in the state that can transmit the virus to people and animals.

DATCP encourages equine owners to speak with their veterinarians about vaccinating their horses for WNV. The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) recommends vaccinating for both WNV and Eastern Equine Encephalitis as part of the core vaccine protocol, meaning all horses should be vaccinated for these diseases.

In addition to vaccination, DATCP offers these tips to limit horses’ exposure to mosquitoes:

Remove items that could collect stagnant water (old tires, buckets, unused troughs, etc.).
Keep rain gutters draining properly; turn wading pools and wheelbarrows upside down.
Clean and chlorinate pools, outdoor saunas, and hot tubs; drain water from pool covers.
Empty and replace water in birdbaths at least once a week.
Consider keeping horses in the barn from dusk to dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.

Gross, I know, but my girl horse peeps will understand this. It feels so good to get a little horse under my nails after being banned from the barn for nearly a week! I had a little knee surgery on Monday, so haven't been to the barn until tonight. Warden Les couldn't stop me, so my girl Luna & I did some mutual grooming, aaaah, feels so good!
