Started off the day taking Tony to the vet. He is 13-15 YO his teeth are worn from eating on dirt and rocks it looks like. Seems to have some slight neurological issue going on so we are starting him on a treatment for EPM. These treatments are fairly expensive but we have seen such wonderful results.
He is such a good boy and gaining weight slowly. He has a nice handle on him and is so gentle and willing. No he wasn’t saddled he just let me climb right up and take him for a nice little short ride to see what was going on with him.

It's a beautiful day here at Candlelight. The old man Cass and Jammin are enjoying the shade. Stallone and Sassy Pants are living the best life ever for 1 year olds. Me? I'm sitting in the shade watching water tanks fill.

Well the boys are settled in nicely. Here is what we know. We wormed them both yesterday.

Sonny is 13-15 YO and stands 15 hands he has 3 white socks and small blaze. He is the sweetest boy and good to be groomed and for cleaning his feet. He needs some weight but nothing terrible and some muscle. Feed and grass will do wonders for him. He was being ridden on trails by the grandmother.

Twist has a blaze and 1 white sock. He is 10-12 YO and stands 14’3 hands. He is very sweet and good for grooming and having feet cleaned. He needs some weight but nothing terrible. Feed and grass will do wonders for him. He was being ridden by the grandkids.

These boys have been together and prefer it that way and call to each other when out of sight. Both will probably need their teeth done and we are having them trimmed next week.

06/02/2024

Let’s welcome these sweet boys that will be looking for good homes in the future to Candlelight Equine.

Both are QH geldings 12-13 YO’s and good trail riders ridden by a grandmother with her grandkiddos.

Due to a very sad family situation they have lost weight and need some general care to be fat and ready to go. Both were wormed today and are now eating happily. Both will need trims and teeth looked at.

Twist and Sonny are the names they came with and they will be keeping. They are the sweetest boys.

We took in a super sweet 17 YO mare that has some issues we are working on to make her sound for pasture companion, broodmare or extremely light walking by kiddos. She is doing nicely thanks to Trey Tucker for his shoeing assistance.

We love getting updates on our sweet Buttons. He is living his best life getting to trail ride and play on barrels with his sweet owner.

06/01/2023

So today Candlelight got to deliver OUR Sweet Buttons to his new family and home. Buttons now has a sweet young lady named Madison to call his own. We can’t wait to see what their future holds.

So for those of you that know Buttons you remember how he got his name. He was rescued when he was cast to the side and others felt he had no value, he was rehabbed and given lots of love, prayer and of course put on a good feeding program, now he has been sent for his new beginning with a gal that needs him just as he needed her.
So a pastor told us one Sunday about how the buttons in a shirt factory when they fell in the floor were left there until someone swept them up and tossed them away because they had no value unless attached to a shirt. The pastor reminded us that until we accept Christ and are attached to Him we have no value. This sermon fell upon our ears as we were trying to help this sweet discarded horse and that is why his name is Buttons.

Buttons is looking so much better and we have started him doing some light riding lessons.

03/26/2023

Buttons is looking better he is loving having grass out in pasture with his buddy Esther while still getting his grains. We are going to have his teeth done this week.

Not how we want to start our day but Sweet Maya is now at peace. Enjoy those beautiful pastures sweet girl.

Maya is not pregnant which is a good thing but unfortunately she is most likely in a form of liver failure this is not a result we wanted but we will love her and keep her as comfortable as we can. Vet also believes that she is 25+ years old.
