We love our farrier! The farrier comes every 4 weeks to trim hooves and make sure our horses feet are in good health. It’s especially important with all the wet weather we’ve been having. I love this picture of the girls watching lol

Sorry for the butt shot Alex 😂

Happy first day of school to all the kiddos!

Here are some updates since I haven't posted in a while :)

- We did great during Debby, no flooding and all the horses were able to stay out in the pasture happily munching on grass.

- My due date is quickly approaching 😅 43 days left! We haven't had any lessons in a while so I can prepare for the baby and rest, but I'm hoping to start an unmounted program and some limited regular lessons again in the fall once we get into the swing of things.

-I'm so thankful for our team that works in the barn and our interns who come out to help keep the barn clean and the horses happy! I couldn't do it without them 🥰

Knowing your horse's normal vital signs is VITAL —pun intended!— to detecting distress and a possible emergency! 🩺

Practice taking your horse's vitals often (T.P.R.: temperature, pulse, respiration rate) so you can get to know what's normal for your equine friends and recognize what is abnormal. If your horse seems a little "off" and his values are outside the normal range, a call to your equine veterinarian is definitely warranted!

The typical ranges for adult horses are as follows:
🌡️Temperature: 99.0-101.5°F
❤️Heart rate: 28-40 beats/minute
🫁Respiration rate: 12-16 breaths/minute

Keep in mid that very hot and humid conditions may cause small variations, so be sure to have a conversation with your horse doctor about what is acceptable and about how to properly assess your horse's vital signs.

Thank you to the AAEP Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information!

We did something a little different this weekend and had a movie night at the barn! We watched Secretariat under the stars and even got to see some Starlink satellites come across the sky (we had to Google that to make sure it wasn’t an alien invasion 👽)

Thanks to everyone that came out and helped make it a fun night!

Lailani and her favorite girl, Echo ❤️

Our sweet Elsa girl is at the hospital in Ocala being monitored after having a really weird injury!

Here is what she presented with: she came in like normal but didn’t eat her food and wasn’t her normal sassy self. A local vet came out and she started to have some swelling under her jaw/neck and you could feel some air bubbles under her skin. The vet gave her some medicine, antibiotics, steroids, pain meds and we kept an eye on her for a couple days.

The swelling got worse and her face started looking like she was stung by a million bees! The vet came back out and determined she needed to go to the hospital at this point.

In the hospital they used a special scope that they put down her nose to investigate her trachea (wind pipe) and they found a small tear. The tear was alllowing air to through her trachea right under her skin, causing all the air under her skin and the puffy look to her head and neck. The tear was most likely cause by a kick to the neck, but that’s just a guess.

On the last picture you can see a dark spot on the left of the image, that’s the actual tear. Doctors will monitor her to make sure it doesn’t get worse, but the tear should heal itself and the air will eventually be absorbed by her body.

I hate it when our horses get injured or sick, but I try to use it as a learning experience for us and I love to share what we’ve learned.

Hopefully Elsa will be home this weekend ❤️
