Ry & Callie had a fantastic weekend at a Multi-State Rodeo(PA, NJ, VT & MD). They came in 3rd out of 65 High Schoolers in Pole Bending in the 1st Performance. They put in some great runs in barrels and goats as well.
When horses travel, it can be very stressful for them. Similar to staying in a hotel room, often horses don’t get the quality of rest they do at home. Hundreds of horses they don’t know, music from the rodeo, and lights stay on 24/7 in the barns. Horses calling out to other horses or kicking their stalls. People feeding and coming and going at all hours.
In an effort to keep Callie comfortable when away from home as well as feeling in prime competitive shape, we do several important things. I typically give an “Advil” (known as Bute)dose both morning and night while traveling. Just like humans, horses can become stiff sleeping in a strange place as well as after competition. Bute helps with these symptoms.
Stress can also cause stomach issues so we provide high quality forage, electrolytes to prevent dehydration and pay close attention to their input and output.
Grooming is a must to help aid in any soreness as well as circulation and relaxation.
After competing, I typically cold hose horses’ legs for 20 mins. After that, an application called Poultice is put on the horses legs. It is a cooling clay with natural anti-inflammatory ingredients. I apply a thick layer to the horses front and back legs up the knees and hocks. We wrap a layer of Saran Wrap around the horses leg to keep the Poultice cool and moist so it doesn’t dry and loose its cooling properties. After that I apply “standing wraps”. First, a soft pillow type bandage is wrapped around the leg over the Saran Wrap. Then a stiffer bandage is applied over that. This promotes circulation, prevents swelling known as “stocking up” and support for tendons, ligaments and muscle as well helps in the recovery process. Next we apply a “back on track” blanket that has unique qualities to enable muscles to recover and keeps muscles warm.
We are adamant about 2 clean full water buckets, a clean nicely bedded stall and a full hay net. This process can take up to an hour or an hour and half after the run is over. We do this to keep our horses healthy, happy, and feeling their best. After all, they keep us safe, run fast and hard, and they are our partners. But mostly we do it, because we love them so deeply.
Here is a picture of Callie girl in her standing wraps (you can see the poultice around the knee, the white pillow wraps and the stiffer standing wraps), her Back on Track Blanket, in a clean stall with a hay net full of alfalfa hay after running yesterday..

Yesterday we said goodbye to our official greeter of Plot Twist Horse Farm. April, fondly known as Bobble, Bobs, or Boblette, never met a stranger. She welcomed each and every student, client, vet, farrier, Girl Scout troop and Special needs school buses with happiness and enthusiasm. Occasionally, she could be found in a clients car, detailing their cars interior and picking up all the crumbs. She was an avid lover or car rides, treats, trash and chasing deer. In fact, we dubbed her “the black bullet” on trail rides often galloping ahead or past the horses as we cantered down the trail. In her younger years, she would hang out of the window of the truck, barking, letting everyone within hearing distance know she was on her way to the barn. As the days have grown shorter, her arthritis had grown exponentially. It was time. We love you muchly Bobs, and miss you dearly already. May you forever be running through the fields and woods, chasing deer and always have your head out the window, barking your happiness.
