Today, Fiona had to visit the equine hospital to get a better look at what was going on in her mouth. She had a runny nose and a faint smell of infection coming from her left nostril and our farm vet didn’t have the ability to treat here at home. Luckily, we have an equine hospital nearby so today, Fiona got the care she needed. She was given light sedation and the dr found that her teeth don’t grind down in a typical way and despite our home vet floating (filing) her teeth they had developed an edge that caused an ulcer. Fiona is only 180 lbs, which is incredibly small even for a mini horse, so the hospital has better, smaller tools and were able to float her teeth perfectly which will allow her ulcer to heal. He also took X-rays to see if anything else was going on with her mouth. For now, he believes the ulcers were the only issue to handle and sent her home with fresh teeth and antibiotics. I am relieved to have her back home with her family. If you’re able to help with her hospital bill we’d appreciate it so much!

Yesterday, I said goodbye to a great love of my life, Tulip. Many of you have been with us for years and watched Tulip’s incredible journey. She came to us to heal after suffering decades of abuse and neglect and it was my honor every single day to care for her and be her safe place. She was an incredible soul and I will desperately miss her. I promised her I’d always care for her daughter Josie and thanked her for all she taught me about what’s important in life, what trust really looks like and how incredible strength can look quiet. Forever Team Tulip 🌷❤️
