Today Mario our wonderful farrier will be back to the farm to finish some of the herd trims as well as try to find some hope for Toby the new horse who came to us with Summer sores and very bad feet. If anyone can help this gentle giant it will be Mario. We will post pics of Toby’s feet and progress as we go. Poor Toby came to us with his front feet shod and his front left foot mostly covered in epoxy. He in addition has large summer sores the size of an adults palm of your hand on his front right fetlock, left rear inside and outside of his fetlock….. Baby steps for Toby……

Toby came to us as a owner surrender as he has had summer sores that refuse to heal, a lameness on his front right hoof and in need of some rest and help for his hooves. Toby has large summer sores the size of the palm of your hand, and they will take months to heal in. We are having the farrier and vet out today for evaluations and to start treatment with him. Pictures and Toby’s own page will be posted this evening.

Cash our first L.E.A.D. horse has found his new career as a Law Enforcement mount. He will begin his training after the first of October. We were lucky to have Cash brought to us in great condition with  strong foundation in Dressage as our first horse for our program. He has been a delight to work with and a pleasure to have around the farm. We will be posting update on his progress after he transitions to the mounted unit…. Good Luck Cash!!!

Our First L.E.A.D.S. Horse will be available soon!

As some of you know we are the home of the L.E.A.D. (Law Enforcement Adoptable Drafts) program,and our first horse to be made available to law enforcement agencies will be ready soon. Keep checking back for more information!

On Firday Aug 12 We took Fiona and Merlin to Wekiva River Preserve in Apopka Florida to visit the kids and Critters summer camp program run by C.A.T. The Center for Animal Therapies. There were approx 21 children present who got a hands on chance to meet the big horses. Both Merlin and Fiona seemed to enjoy themselves a great deal and the children had fun too. We spoke of the responsibilities of owning a horse, the care involved with horses, equine safety and nutrition as well as reading body language to ensure proper communication with a horse you are working in harmony with. We look forward to  meeting the kids at the Fall Kids and critters program again hosted by C.A.T. Hope to see you there!

Gentry has arrived safe and sound at the rescue…. He is a half draft, nice flea bitten grey. He is awaiting his retirement family to get the final things dont so he can make his grand entrance to his new life…. He is sweet, kind, and loving…. what more could you ask for?

We launched our new website today!!!!!! A special thank you to Mario for his web talents and hosting abilities! Mario You Rock!
