Late night turn down service for Queen Thief, Bird Harbor, ND, and Fashion showed them all still settled and ready for a fun sleepover in the back field tonight.

14/02/2025

After an uneventful meet and greet with ND over the fence, we decided to put Queen and Harbor in with ND and Fashion right away. This was their entrance into the field.

🐎 Queen Thief & Bird Harbor: Making the Most of a Muddy Situation 🌧️

With the bizarrely wet winter we’ve been having, the quarantine turnout is a muddy mess—not exactly ideal for new arrivals trying to settle in. So today, we set up a new option for Queen Thief and Bird Harbor: the ability to come in and out of their stalls and socialize in the barn aisle.

It’s not quite the same as turnout, but these two are a bonded pair, and they were clearly happier together rather than standing out in a wet paddock in the rain. Seeing them relax and enjoy each other’s company reassures us that they’re adjusting well.

We’re now 48 hours into their initial quarantine period, and so far, they’ve shown no signs of illness. Just one more day to go, and if all stays clear, we can start introducing them to the rest of the herd. We can’t wait to see them settle into their new family here at Mareworthy.

💛 Your support makes this level of care possible.

🎥 Queen Thief - aka Peppermint Bandit 🐎🍬

It’s been just over a day since Queen Thief and Bird Harbor arrived at Mareworthy, and we’re excited to share a little update on how they’re settling in.

While Bird Harbor has adjusted quickly—eating, drinking, and exploring her new space with ease—Queen Thief has needed a little extra TLC. The stress of losing her longtime home hit her hard, and she wasn’t eating or drinking as much as we’d hoped. But today, we cracked the code: peppermints.

Turns out, Queen has a sweet tooth, and a simple peppermint was the key to unlocking her appetite. After enjoying this treat in the video, she went straight for her hay, had a refreshing drink of water, and visibly relaxed as one of our care team members gave her a full-body massage while currying off the mud from her arrival. She’s now mud-free, much more settled, and showing signs of comfort in her new surroundings.

We’re also incredibly grateful for a generous donation of UlcerGard last year from Boehringer Ingelheim Equine Health which makes it possible for us to start both mares on it to help prevent stress-related ulcers during this transition.

This is exactly why we keep new arrivals in stalls for their first 24 hours—it allows us to monitor their water intake, hay consumption, and overall well-being while getting to know their unique personalities.

The care team is up late tonight keeping an eye on Furthermore after she spiked a temperature around 11pm. Thankfully they've been able to get her temp down from the high 103.6 to a normal 100.1 in the past couple hours, and she continues to be normal otherwise.

We did call Hagyard to make sure we're not missing anything, and right now the hypothesis about why she spiked a fever is that her last dose of steroidal anti inflammatories was a couple days ago, so we're going to put her on some therapeutic support for a couple more days.

The team was already planning to be up throughout the night to check on our new mares, Queen Thief and Bird Harbor, so they'll continue to keep a close eye on Furthermore as well through the night.

We're also super grateful for the bio thermo microchips and the Equitrace app which makes it easy for us to keep track of all the mares' temps, vaccines, medications and procedures.
