What should be the barn name for Nhlosane?

In the past she's been known as Nelly and Sony.

26/01/2025

Nhlosane is a bit unsure about her new neighbors, otherwise she's enjoying her first turnout in the round pen today.

Nhlosane has a very healthy appetite 💜

ND’s Hoof Abscess Update

Poor ND. That’s what finally blew last night.

Hoof abscesses are a painful but common issue in horses, caused when bacteria get trapped inside the hoof and create an infection. The buildup of pressure can cause severe lameness, sometimes overnight. The tricky part is that abscesses don’t always show up on X-rays, and they can take an unpredictable path before they finally drain.

In ND’s case, we had X-rays done earlier in the week, which didn’t show any major abscess, but a few days ago, she blew out through her outside heel. That seemed to be the culprit at first, but it stopped draining yesterday—only for this abscess to finally erupt last night.

We’re keeping her hoof in a soaking wrap with Epsom salt for the next 24 hours to help draw out any remaining infection and provide relief. She’s also on antibiotics, and we’re keeping her legs wrapped for extra support since she’s been compensating for the hoof pain in her movement.

Hopefully, now that the pressure is relieved, she can truly start to recover. She’s been a tough girl through all of this, and we’ll keep everyone updated on her progress!

Happy Friday! Join Kyle for a walk to check on all the mares including Nhlosane and Lass.

After a long journey from Oklahoma, Nhlosane has finally stepped off the trailer and into the barn at Mareworthy. She traveled like an absolute pro—calm, confident, and ready for her fresh start. Watching her settle in today is a powerful reminder of why we do this work.

But here’s the reality: we’re still 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 to our fundraising goal to cover her transport and vet bills, and 𝘄𝗲 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲—along with the 12 other mares who rely on us every day.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
🌿 It ensures we can say “yes” when mares like Nhlosane need us.
🌿 It provides ongoing medical care, farrier visits, and daily needs.
🌿 It gives mares the safety and dignity they deserve for life.

If you believe in a future where retired broodmares are valued beyond their breeding careers, 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝘂𝗽. A gift of just $𝟭𝟬 𝗼𝗿 $𝟮𝟱 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 makes an enormous impact when we come together.

We took a leap of faith to get her here, and now we need your support to make sure she has everything she needs. Please donate if you can and share this post to help spread the word!

Together, we’re rewriting the story for mares like Nhlosane. Let’s make sure her next chapter is her best one yet. 🐴💫

Lass was a very good girl for her chiropractic adjustment today. This was her first time having Dr Oliphant use the stool to adjust her back, and Lass took it all in stride.

That also reminds us that Lass is becoming a grown up as she's tall enough for Dr Oliphant to need a stool to adjust her back.

Thank you for the continued donations; your support helps us provide the best possible care for all the mares (and filly) in our care. Donate today at www.mareworthy.com/donate or consider becoming a recurring monthly donor as a Pasture Pal at www.mareworthy.com/pasturepals Every dollar makes a difference.

Nhlosane arrived at her layover facility to rest for the night. We're excited to meet her tomorrow. We're so grateful to Leonard Horse Transport for all the updates theybi been sharing.

24/01/2025

ND went back out with the herd today 💜

She's still not back to 100% so we're keeping her in her Cloud Boots and leg wraps for extra support, but it was so nice to see her walking bearing almost equal weight on both front feet.

24/01/2025

Nhlosane is on her way to Kentucky!!!

We're still short of our fundraising goal, but we decided to get her on the trailer and settled into the herd since she was cleared medically to travel. If you can donate, please do so at https://givebutter.com/nhlosane or on this post.

We are so grateful to Lynn and her team at Thoroughbred Athletes in Oklahoma for caring for Nhlosane these past few weeks, and we've been getting great updates from Leonard Horse Transport throughout the day each time they took a break. The most recent update we received is, "She is being an absolutely amazing traveler! She is enjoying the infinite hay supply she is receiving! We will be back on the road momentarily"

Best friends 💜

Tonight ND and Fashion are back together in the layup area inside the indoor arena after having spent the past few days in stalls while we worked with Dr Growette to get ND's hoof feeling better again.

Since ND is making great progress and is on a solid treatment plan, including a visit from our farrier tomorrow, we'll be turning her and Fashion back out with the herd after their farrier appointment.

ND will wear her Cloud Boots for turnout to help keep her comfortable while she returns to 100% but we know this tough old lady will be happy to rejoin the full herd.

We're so grateful to Fashion for being a great companion for ND during this time; she's kept ND company without any complaints.

Good evening! All the mares and Lass survived the insanely cold weather we've had the past few days in Kentucky. It's only 20°F today, but it feels like a heat wave after last night's --6°F air temp.

🌟 POSITIVE UPDATE: Northern Deputy's Hoof Journey 🐴

Some much-needed good news to share about our sweet Northern Deputy! After a tense few days, we're seeing real progress in her recovery journey. Overnight, she finally blew an abscess from her front right heel - a development we've been anxiously waiting for!

This breakthrough came after:
• Starting to bear weight on the leg again yesterday after we added standing wraps
• Switching from oral banamine to IV bute for pain management following Dr. Growette's visit yesterday
• Careful monitoring and specialized care

While we're still managing some leg swelling, our medical team has developed a targeted treatment plan. We're utilizing a regional limb perfusion technique - a method that delivers antibiotics directly to the affected area using a tourniquet. This approach:
• Concentrates medication exactly where it's needed
• Minimizes stress on ND's digestive system
• Provides more effective treatment than systemic antibiotics alone

Dr. Growette will be continuing these specialized treatments in the coming days. We're cautiously optimistic about ND's progress and will continue providing the exceptional care she deserves; it's clear she is back to dreaming about going back outside with the herd 💕

As always, providing this level of specialized veterinary care comes with significant costs. You can help support Northern Deputy's recovery in two ways:

🌟 Make a one-time donation: www.mareworthy.com/donate
🌟 Become a Pasture Pal monthly donor: www.mareworthy.com/pasturepals

Monthly donations through our Pasture Pals program help us better budget for ongoing care needs and ensure we can always say "yes" when our senior mares need specialized treatment. Every contribution makes a difference! 🙏

Thank you all for your continued support and concern for our senior mare. Your generosity and kindness keep our mission going strong. ❤️

Can you guess who the ONE mare is who is NOT wearing a blanket?

Here's a clue: she proved her resilience when she flourished after she arrived in the summer of 2023 emaciated with several health concerns. Now she's one of the biggest-bodied mares at the farm, and she's incredibly healthy.

🚨 Update on ND - Positive Thoughts (and Funds) Needed 🙏

Our beloved Northern Deputy had a visit from Dr. Growette this morning for x-rays of her front right hoof, as she's still not putting full weight on it. In the past 24 hours, our care team noticed some swelling in the leg, prompting additional x-rays of the upper leg area. A concerning spot was identified that might indicate a soft tissue injury. Dr. Growette will return tomorrow with Dr. Tuso for ultrasound imaging to get a complete picture of what's going on.

Currently, our care team is providing: • Anti-inflammatory medication • Full stall rest • Standing wraps • Cloud Boots • Extra TLC

While we're optimistic that our oldest resident mare can overcome this with time and care, we could really use your support right now. Quality veterinary and therapeutic care is essential but comes with significant costs.

If you're able to help keep ND and all our resident mares receiving the best possible care, please consider making a donation at www.mareworthy.com/donate

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference in providing the comprehensive care our mares deserve. 💕

It's forecasted to drop to a real feel of MINUS 7°F tonight 🥶🥺

The mares are all blanketed, and they're currently in stalls for a few hours with full buckets of warm water in hopes they'll all drink more where we can easily monitor individual water intake.

This kind of weather is extra hard on old ladies, and our median age is 20 years old. Please keep the mares in your thoughts and send as many warm wishes as you can over the next three days.

ND went back out with the herd today 💜 She's still not back to 100% so we're keeping her in her Cloud Boots and leg wraps for extra support, but it was so nice to see her walking bearing almost equal weight on both front feet. #northerndeputy #mareworthy #SeniorHorseCare #retiredbroodmare

Sometimes water just tastes better when the hooman holds the bucket for you. We're so thankful to our care team for making sure all our mares are drinking enough despite the extreme cold weather. Holy Fashion figured out she gets more pampering time if she makes them hold the bucket of warm water to verify she's drinking. Clearly it's a win win. #HolyFashion #mareworthy #mareworthycharities #SeniorHorseCare #retiredbroodmare #winterwithhorses

ND is walking a little better today after her application of Magic Cushion last night. We are so grateful to the care team at where we board our mares for always going above and beyond to make sure they are all as comfortable and healthy as possible. #northerndeputy #seniorhorses #mareworthy #hoofcare

Luci made us so proud today when she walked up next to Vee and volunteered to have her feet trimmed next without even needing a halter, but then she totally embarrassed us. We're so glad Alec Fourman of Fourman's Natural Hoof Care has a good sense of humor #EmpressLuciana #mareworthy

🌟 Final Update on Fashion's Recovery! Fashion has spoken - she's ready to be social again! We've just returned her to the herd, and while we'll continue monitoring her closely as her digestive system fully normalizes, we're thrilled to see her energy and spirit returning. We want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our amazing veterinary team at Lexington Equine Medical Group . While Dr. Growette is our primary veterinarian, we're fortunate to have several dedicated doctors ensuring round-the-clock care for our horses. Dr. George handled Fashion's case brilliantly, allowing Dr. Growette some well-deserved time off (though she still checked in via text to follow Fashion's progress - that's dedication!). Having such a committed veterinary team is crucial to providing the best care for our retired mares. We're grateful for their expertise and dedication! 💕 #Mareworthy #HorseHealth #ThankfulThursday #EquineVets #HolyFashion

If you ask Lass, she will tell you the best part of snow is eating it. #mareworthy #stowawaylass

Holy Fashion isn't feeling her best, so the veterinarian is on her way to help her feel better. Keep Fashion in your thoughts.
