Scream for HELP!
Alright guys, our newest rescue that we pulled is really struggling and is needing some ER Vet care. Not only was she severely emaciated and only weighing in at 573 pounds when we got her, she is pregnant and has such terrible teeth that she has a hard time eating. On top of all this she has strangles, and her guttural pouches is extremely full of puss and despite all our attempts to get to rupture on it's own, she now going to be seen and have it drained and flushed. This is going to be a very expensive vet bill and we sure could use some help with donations, otherwise her care will be very limited to what we can afford. We would like to raise at least $500.00 to start, if we can receive more funding, we will have the vet also do the ultrasound to make sure the baby is still ok and also do a teeth float while we are there and sedated and being monitored.

FUN FACT FRIDAY! Are you familiar with the many adaptations that help your horse stay warm during the cold winter months?

🌾 Hindgut digestion of hay produces the most heat, acting as a small furnace inside of the horse. This is why free choice, good quality hay is so important in the winter.

💪 Horses have a huge muscle mass and muscle activity produces heat. This includes running and playing and even shivering if their body temperature starts to drop. It is important to remember that these activities also will result in a bigger caloric demand so free choice hay and in some cases, grain, is often needed.

🧥 To blanket or not to blanket is a constant debate but either way, as it starts to get cold your horse will grow a thicker coat. If you decide to leave your horse unblanketed you may notice that they look “fluffy”. This is due to a phenomenon called piloerection where the hair stands up to better trap air within. Two layers of the coat also help with warmth. The inner layer is softer and has air pockets to create an insulating layer. The outer layer is coarse and has oils that keep moisture from penetrating the insulating layer and keep the horse warm.

⚖️ Wild horses go into the winter heavier than ideal and the fat serves as an extra layer of insulation. However, if a horse is going to be kept heavily blanketed and in a barn during the cold weather months this is unnecessary and can lead to obesity related issues.

🦵Their distal limbs (below the knees and hocks) are made of mostly bones and tendons, tissues that are resistant to the cold temperatures.

🦶The hooves have an alternative route of blood circulation through larger vessels that can be used in low temperatures. This is why horses can stand in snow without detrimental effects.

👃A horse’s nose has a robust blood supply and is rounded so that it is less susceptible to frostbite than a human’s nose.

5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ still needed!
Border horse slaughter raised half the bail for this guy and there is $750 left. We would like to bring him home to the sanctuary here, where he can enjoy the last of his years. If I can have just 30 friends spare $25 we can raise his bail. Out of my 668 friend and 713 followers, I know we can do this! Donate through our rescue/sanctuary Venmo - or PayPal . We have about 24 no more than 48 to keep him off the truck. He has been there way long!
