Across the Pond may have a couple stalls available this fall. We have some horses here for sale and a couple moving out of state. I’ve touched base with those on my waitlist and most have either decided not to move or have already secured a spot elsewhere. If you enjoy excellent care, a family friendly/peaceful environment, daily turnout, an indoor arena, indoor wash-rack, and more…. Please get in touch with me to set up a tour and get on our waitlist! 🤠

Olaf update:
Olaf will be 7 weeks tomorrow and will have been home from the hospital for 2 weeks! I turned them out in the pasture for the first time since being home today! So much better than arena turnout! He is back to his normal self and growing so big and strong! We will never forget his rough beginnings or all of the love and support from our friends, family and community! You will always be a part of his journey! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this special guy!

Olaf Update Day 7:

GREAT NEWS!!! It’s like a light switch has flipped. He is now standing every hour on his own and nursing at will. He has to wear a muzzle because he can’t have solid food yet but they remove it when he stands so he can nurse. We are potentially looking at bringing him home by Saturday!!!

Now that he is on a lower level of care and will be coming home ahead of schedule, his estimated bill will total around 14k. It’s hefty but so much less than it could have been. I truly just don’t know how to say thank you enough for all the prayers and donations that are helping us through this time! My heart has been blessed beyond measure!

Olaf Update Day 6:
The prayers are working!!!!!! I received AMAZING news today!!!!!!
Little Olaf stood for the first time unassisted and unprompted AND he nursed and was able to swallow for the first time!!!
The next 24 hours will be telling but he may beat the odds and get to come home earlier than anticipated! I will know more on that tomorrow. Praying that as they remove certain tubes, like oxygen, that he tolerates it well and that he does not aspirate when nursing and swallowing.

Thank you everyone!

Dressage Clinic with ALL PROCEEDS to benefit baby Olaf! Our incredible trainer, Jennifer Cherest Flory, has offered to hold a benefit clinic and my amazing friend, Ingrid Long, is allowing us to have it at Salt Run Stables in Morrow, OH!
I am truly just blown away by all the love and support from our community. Olaf’s vet bills are astronomical for anyone but they’ve hit at an especially hard time financially for our family. Please see flyer and contact me if you are interested in attending or securing a time slot.

If you’d like to donate to Olaf’s recovery:

Olaf update Day 5:

-He is holding steady which is typical in the beginning, no huge improvements but no set backs either.

-Dr. Slovis at Hagyard is a botulism expert and has spoken on this internationally. He said he has never not had one recover. (I assume so long as pneumonia doesn’t become a problem). That is such encouraging news!

-As of today, the bill is up to $9,877.90. We know everyday that they are there adds up very quickly. So here are our prayer requests:

1. That Olaf heals as quickly as possible and that we start seeing some recovery of functions, especially swallowing.

2. Please pray for Jojo as he diligently continues to seek employment.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR THE LOVE, SUPPORT AND DONATIONS! I am truly humbled that friends, family and strangers care so much. We have raised over $7500! Praise God!

Olaf update:

We had such a sweet visit but this little guy has a long way to go! Unfortunately the vet says could be 2-3 weeks 😔 Please pray that he heals as quickly as possible. His bills will likely be around $20K, so we are desperately trying to collect half of that. Take away from today:
*He needs full hospitalized care, still has feeding tube, catheter, oxygen tube, and IV. He cannot fully swallow and doesn’t stand without help, sleeps a lot. At the point that he can swallow and nurse on his own, then we should be able to care of him at home.

*small steps are a big deal! They said he was more alert today, lifted his head a bit more, those are all great strides.

*His lung ultrasound looked good today! (They were checking for pneumonia). Pneumonia is his biggest threat. As long as he doesn’t develop it, he should heal!

*Olaf is sleeping on a human tempurapedic mattress!!!! The care there is amazing!

*The tech doing his care said he is her favorite foal and the smartest foal she has ever cared for ❤️ After they assist him to stand, when he gets tired (after 5-10 minutes), he will walk back to his mattress, step up on it and with help, lay down. He knows where to go, she said she has never seen another foal do that!

He is such a special guy, I cannot turn my back on him no matter the cost. It’s just extra hard given our current circumstances.

So please continue to pray, share, and give if you can. I appreciate each and every one of you!
