🧮Count My Blessings' Story

One skill all of the horses develop while in our program is to walk in a quiet, safe manner in open spaces for long distances. Here you can see Lorna and her pasture mates making the journey in hand from one barn to their pasture on the other side of the farm. In route the horses often encounter tractors, mowers, trimmers, deer, and changes in footing.

Happy Friday Everyone!

?'s Story

We use a Purina Horse brand tape to estimate weight. This tool was designed with ranges to make reading easier. Can anyone guess who in the group is approximately 960 pounds? (coat color may or may not be accurate!)

💃🏻Lola's Story

Lola is blind in her left eye due to a posteriorly luxated lens. She functions very well and the condition should not be limiting. Horses are amazing at adapting to life's challenges and Lola is no exception.
