Best idea I've heard yet. Now if only the BLM and USFS would adopt practices like this. Penny Jackson Bureau of Land Management Marty Irby

WHEN HORSES HEAL!

I didn't know this until just recently but 25% of our boots-on-the-ground horse rescue volunteers have, or have survived Cancer! TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT. That's a heck of a lot. In fact, I wouldn't mind betting that more volunteers over the years have had Cancer than Covid. It's mind-blowing. But it made me think! What if we could set up a local (Santa Cruz County, Monterey County and Santa Clara County) Cancer Specific program that includes our rescued wild horses/wild mustangs?

Could we do it? Could we get funding for such a program? I believe we could, with a little help of course. If you are interested in helping us open up a program like this get in touch via our website at https://canhamfarm.com/get-in-touch/

Stay tuned for more updates on a horse therapy program the helps heal the anxiety, sense of connection and lack of power a cancer diagnosis brings.

MAY 1st - A DAY Of GIVING.

We are thrilled to announce the April Moon Fund - a new program to help horses in dire need of neurological, medical, surgical and other interventions. The program is in honor of a wild foal, April Moon. April was a special foal who was born with a rare neurological disorder. The disorder was incurable and the only kindness we could show her was to humanely euthanize her. She is forever in our thoughts and we dedicate this fund to her in order to provide medical help for horses and their carers in dire need!

Please consider a small gift to get this program off to a healthy start.

Increasingly we receive calls or emails from distressed horse carers who find themselves struggling to pay veterinary bills for a sick horse - a horse that will not survive without medical intervention.

It could be any one of us. It could be your horse. It could be a friend's horse. It could be my horse.

By creating a fund, The April Moon Fund, we aim to provide a lifeline to horses that without medical treatment WIll NOT SURVIVE!

In order to get the ball rolling we have secured a 1x match for today only. That means that if you donate $100 it will automatically become $200!

Let's give horses in need of neurological, medical or surgical intervention a chance to continue bringing joy and hope to the people that care for them.

INTRODUCING SÉRIF, A QUIET, THOUGHTFUL 16-17 YEAR OLD MARE WHO WE BELIEVE WOULD BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO AN EQUINE THERAPY PROGRAM.

We are looking for an reputable equine therapy program that is in need of a horse that in our opinion will do really well in an equine therapy program. Sérif is quiet and thoughtful who will be a wonderful addition to an adult or children's program.

She is very independent and somewhat aloof but we feel that is a bonus as she does not rub or lean into people. She is rideable, leads so well and has yet to spook/shy despite our efforts.

She does have Cushings Disease which means daily meds and needs forage available 24/7 as she is quick to lose weight. No shoes needed and her feet are in great shape.

If any local or semi-local equine therapy programs are in need of a solid, reliable, sweet and intelligent addition to their program, please get in touch.

NEW VIDEO - Wild Mustang Training - Training a Wild Mustang Gently Without Drama.

https://youtu.be/1_gMMzEsuQw?si=-S_m_tyTlDA1N5z1

Fiero is a 3 year old wild mustang from the Jackson Mountains in Nevada. He was captured and adopted under the BLM's incentive program then spent a year with his adoptor before being sent to auction, first to Stroud and then to Bowie. One of our social media followers noticed him as we had room at the rescue, we took him in.

Fiero had not been halter trained and was quite fearful of humans. We began by letting him settle in then began helping him discover we were not their to hurt him.

Training Wild Mustangs does not need to cause them undue stress. Many mustang training videos on social media promote drama - showing wild horses attacking, jumping fences etc. Oftentimes the frightened mustangs are chased around in roundpens using whips and other tools. All this does is create anxiety and stress. It does not need to be that way.

Please watch this wild mustangs first training session to see how wild horse training does not need to be aggressive.

Sérif, the owner-relinquished horse has a unique personality. One might say she considers herself the "Keeper of The Grain" and takes her job very seriously. So seriously in fact that she Keeps IT all for herself. 🤷🤣😳

Are you one of those horse people that have been taught to halter a horse incorrectly? When you use a rope halter do you put the lead line over the horse's back, put their nose in and then flick the long end over their neck?

If that describes you, then there's a kinder, gentler way to halter your horse without causing them any distress. I call it the "hug". Watch the video about how to halter a horse and learn to halter a horse correctly!

Thank you for watching.
