The Land of Misfit Horses

11/23/2024

Dental day! Today is a prime example of why dental visits are IMPORTANT for your horses no matter the age or size! Here is our example:
Dexter! Our horses get checked routinely every 6 months unless they are on the 3 month check schedule. Dexter has just reached his 6 month mark with us. During his exam earlier this week it was found his mouth was a mess. HUGE front hooks and back hooks. Cuts in his gums and tongue. Now this dude showed no signs of any dental distress until last weekend. He is a big fat boy who never misses a meal and isn't fussy with his head. Fast forward to last weekend his behavior changed with being fussy with his food and grumpy towards horses and people. Some would have thought he was just being bad well we knew something was up internally as this wasn't Dexter. Thankfully our vet Dr. Landis was out right away and found the problem and today his mouth was corrected and he feels great again! Pic below shows the one massive front hook. Unfortunately my phone sucks and wouldn't get the back teeth pics as they kept coming out blurry. But here is a prime example why routine check ups are SO important! This could have been easily missed by a person who doesn't know better and thought he was just being a naughty race horse. Thank you Dr. Landis for everything you do for our residents at the farm ❤️ your the best!

It was a LONG day but rescue mission is complete! Welcome standardbred rescue Hoosier Jackie to the farm family! This beautiful 19 year old Standardbred unfortunately ended up in the same killpen as residents Ben and Ace at the farm. Her time at Moores was coming to an end as she was awaiting to ship. Thanks to the efforts of Penny with her horse angels and her donor Kim we were able to get her bailed and today she she received her freedom ride. She needs tlc but nothing we can't fix. During her qt period she will get all her necessary medical care as in teeth, feet, shots, exam and anything else she may need. Once her qt is over and she is up to weight we will start her under saddle training. Our goal is to get her wonderful for the program so kids and adults can enjoy her! Nothing beats a standardbred! They are one amazing breed of horse!

Amazing job to our team misfits at the turkey trot hunter pace today! This event is a annual tradition for our boarders to attend. Next year we plan to have all of our boarders attending (this year we had some away on vacations and horses who weren't ready condition or training wise for it). We train all season for this super special day! The course was amazing with tons of jumps and hills! English riders dream out there today! This is one event we go to that is boarders only as our school horses aren't conditioned for this and its veryyy intense unlike the other hunter paces we go too.
Today's team was:
Cassie and her standardbred ben
Sharon and her standardbred Patrick
Krystall and her thoroughbred Jericho

Go team misfits ❤️❤️

Some of the fun over the past month! What a wonderful fall its been ❤️ pics have been slow as I soooooo need a new phone, it's getting very slow and bad with taking pictures.

Before last night went up in flames literally we were going to post the huge thank you to Krista, her mom, Olivia and Jay for the new panels to add to what was our round pen. NOW it's officially no longer just a small round pen BUT a second arena for riding, lunging, liberty work, special needs riding etc! It's HUGE ❤️ it's large enough to comfortably ride w/t/c, put out a few jumps and even do a mini barrel pattern. We are so excited for this feature as this allows riders more opportunities to work their horses and for more riders to ride at one time in different locations! We are so incredibly thankful 💕
We will be setting up a viewing area next to the second arena so families can sit and watch rides!

Extremely thankful to the best farm family for dropping everything to help today/tonight! Thank you to everyone who also came and helped and those who offered help! We are holding out for the long haul right now. Everything important is packed, trailers are hooked on stand by and now we just wait! We are in talks with the fire department and if we get the call to leave we will be out! We will be camping at the farm tonight.

11/06/2024

UPDATE: we have a evacuation plan set in place! We are prepping now to be able to leave at any second. The smoke is so bad in our area that our lungs hurt. If you don't read your messages about the farm being closed or seeing these posts we are NOT doing lessons today! This air quality is unsafe for any horse or person to ride in! Safety is my absolute number 1 priority at all times! This is the closest we have ever had a fire be to the barn. I thank everyone who has reached out about helping, stay tuned as everyone will get a call immediately if we have to leave here.

11/06/2024

ATTENTION!!!! There is a NASTY fire less than 10 mins from our farm. Air quality is BAD!!!! It's raining ash. Air quality is not safe to ride our horses in!! We are halted at the farm currently for safety reasons. We have no idea yet if they will require evacuation or not.

Congratulations to our team misfits on finishing the season strong with another win at the monmouth county hunter pace! Our high level hunter pace team took to the fields and trails today w/t/c/g and over all of the cross country jumps! Cassie and Krystall are going 5 years strong as the leading pace team for the farm, this pace they were only 22 seconds off the ideal time!!! They clocked 36 mph during one of their gallops today! Hunter paces give you a totally different thrill and excitement. We are proud of our teams this year for the paces and we are looking forward to 2025 hunte pace season. Krystall also took the year end champion for the thoroughbred incentive program for the hunter pace!

Congratulations to our riders at the All thoroughbred show down today!
Samantha and poppy got reserve champion in the beginner eq division!!!
Krystall and Canoochee placed 5th and 6th in the fresh off the track division.
Cassie and Deckology unfortunately scratched the day as this show was to much mental stimulation for him. He tried the best he could and we can walk away knowing he tried and we will try again in a smaller show setting for him.
