I've been toying with the idea of this program for months and finally decided to just put it out there and see what happens 🤞

The beta launch of our Horses for All workshop will be on Saturday, September 6th...Facebook event page coming soon so it'll be easier to share :)

Until then there are details on the website:

...just out here reminding myself that if we still lived in Texas, we'd be dealing with heat like this for MONTHS 🫠

The horses aren't enjoying the heat wave but we're getting through it one hose-down at a time 🫶

Nothin' to do but hose off horses 💦

Not much to report here except that it's HOT 🥵

All the horses get loose salt + electrolytes in their morning/evening mashes and we have salt licks out but I'm also putting out pans of loose salt and electrolytes.
..Elliott and Walley love the blocks but not all of them do, so giving different options encourages them to keep up their salt & electrolyte intake even while they're sweating.

They're all hanging in the barn under the fans and I'm watching for any sign of colic; this kind of heat makes me nervous!

This is why when people ask me, "what's it like having horses???"
I tell them, "Imagine a toddler...now make it 1200 pounds" 😂

Yesterday we brought home 4 laying hens and the horses don't know what to make of their new neighbors 😆 🐓

P.S. in case you're wondering the girls named them Koa, Vanessa, Lavender and Cotton Candy 🤪

Hey, friends!

We're running low on MSM and salt-- both items are easy to gift directly from our Chewy Wish List 🫶

MSM is a joint supplement that all of our horses get each day. For those in good health (Elliott, Izzy, Andy) it's a great preventative to keep them feeling good. For those with arthritis or DSLD (Dolly, Teddy, Walley, Floyd) I've seen it make a huge difference in their comfort and mobility.

They all also need loose salt daily to maintain their fluid balance and stay healthy, especially now that our temperatures are warming.

If you're in a position to help by gifting, the item will be shipped directly to us and remember: your purchase is 100% tax deductible!

LINK IS IN COMMENTS since the algorithm no longer likes outside links being shared directly in the post 🙄

And --of course-- pic for algorithm tax as well!

My boy, Floyd, proving age is just a number...

this 30-something guy found a weakness in the fence this morning so, naturally, he pushed it down and walked right over it and straight into the hay field 😅

But it didn't take long for him to get a little lonely and come to the gate to be let into the hillside pasture and re-join the herd. I guess even the yummiest buffet can't replace friends 😉

Andy wants to know if you'll be a Hoof Hero??
Link in comments to our March fundraiser-- your donation helps offset the cost of hoof trims for the herd ❤
