Plot Twist Horse Farm’s Wall of Shame

Shakey, pictured here, after pooping in her water bucket, neck blanket over her ears and tongue sticking out has earned a spot on the Wall of Shame. She will wear a Hall of Shame Halter for a week 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you know that exercising horses in cold weather can actually damage their airways? 🌬️❄️

In a study, "Airway cooling and mucosal injury during cold weather exercise" that parallels human studies, horses were exposed to air temperatures of -5°C (23°F) and -15°C (5°F) while exercising.

The result suggests that when horses breathe in cold, dry air during intense exercise, it cools and dries out their airways, leading to irritation, inflammation, and even cell damage. 🐴 Over time, repeated exposure can cause long-term respiratory issues.

Protect your equine athletes this winter by not riding in temperatures below 25degrees!

Sarah & I have been farm sitting since Christmas Eve. We’ve been anxiously awaiting a Ewe to have her lambs. Well, this morning our Christmas wish came true! She had 3 lambs, unfortunately one was still born, but we were able to get the other two up and moving, clear out the placenta, palpate for any others, and help the babies get up and nursing! All seem fine and are tucked in for the night. They are both males and I think one should be named “Jesus”.

So the Universe is a weird place. A few hours after Lucky passed, this little guy was born to my neighbors doe (she works on the farm). She immediately sent me video and said “It’s baby Lucky”. I got to meet him today and so did Casper. He was returned to his momma with a new name - Lucky Jr. You have some big hooves to fill lil man, but you are loved already!

The hardest part of owning livestock is not the long hours, or the all nighters when they’re sick, or even freezing temps and hot and humid days. It’s when you can’t help them or fix them, and you have to let them go. Thank you Lucky, for being the sweetest and most loving goat, and offering your love to everyone who walked through the Plot Twist barn doors. You will be greatly missed.

We had a wonderful time this evening at Miracle on Maple! Cooper & Phoebe were rockstars. It makes my heart so warm when the kids yell “Santa!!!” and commence telling me what they want for Christmas. Such a wonderful Catonsville tradition and Plot Twist Horse Farm, LLC is honored to have escorted Santa down Maple Ave for the past 4 years!
