DAY TWO: Hydrant Replacement

For those who didn't get the chance to read yesterday's post, CMVHR Co-founder, Eddie, and our friend Mike, have been replacing hydrants that froze last winter and were damaged. Eddie and Mike replaced the first hydrant yesterday (yesterday's post). Today, they replaced the second.

We are incredibly grateful to Mike for selflessly giving of his time to help us. We couldn't have done it without him. Here are some photos of today's project. Mission accomplished. :)

On the farm, there are always projects to do. Last winter was so brutally cold that two of our hydrants froze and were damaged. Today, one was replaced. Tomorrow, the second will be replaced.

We are incredibly grateful for good friends who selflessly give their time to help. Mike has been volunteering at CMVHR for more than 10 years. For the past three weekends, after helping with animal care, he stayed for several more hours to work with Eddie to prep for the hydrant replacement. The hydrant being replaced tomorrow required removing fences to put in a gate for the excavator, as well as clearing trees and oodles of tall weeds. It was no small feat.

These are photos of Eddie and Mike working together today to dig out the first hydrant, installing a new one, then refilling the hole. Mission accomplished.

A shoutout to Taylor Rental in Plattsburgh who always responds when we need help. They brought us the excavator first thing this morning so we could get started early.

A huge sigh of relief to have one done. Eddie and Mike will tackle the second one tomorrow. We'll all rest well tonight after a stressful and busy day, but a good one. Gratitude abounds.

Selfless dedication. Dede, CMVHR's amazing staff, devotes her life to all that is good and gives tirelessly of herself to help others. She is Assistant Chief of her volunteer fire department. This is how she and an amazing team of people who lead with their hearts -- volunteers, law enforcement, EMTs, and more -- spent last night. Thank you to all for your commitment and service. You are an inspiration and appreciated beyond words.

Rio was a little steamy during the morning rain! If you look closely at the second photo, you'll be able to see the faint steam rolling off of him.

We had a wonderful visit today with residents and directors from the Champlain Valley Senior Center in Willsboro, NY. This was their second field trip to the farm this year with new friends joining today for their first visit, and others who were here earlier this summer.

It's always fun to hear their stories. One of the residents grew up with horses and loves riding. She was hoping to hop aboard today! But, alas, we don't offer riding. :) Another resident has been a farmer his whole life. He enjoyed seeing the variety of animals, especially the cows.

Community enrichment programs are as critical to our mission as rescuing animals. These programs are offered at no charge to remove financial barriers to welcome all. Thank you to our donors for empowering us to save animals and heal hearts. Together, we are making a positive difference in so many lives.

COURTESY POST: Remy is not at Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue, Inc. but is located in upstate New York.

Since 2008, Remy has been at a resort that offers trail riding. The program he has been a part of for nearly 20 years is closing their doors. The owners are looking to rehome their horses. They have found homes for all but Remy so we offered to widen their reach with a courtesy post to help Remy find a safe landing.

This is the information we were provided:

Remy is a 25 year old gelding. He is just under 15 hands. He can be ridden both Western and English, and has occasionally done ring lessons for kids ages 6-13, as well as many pony rides for younger kids. He is completely bombproof around children, dogs, other horses, etc. He has a little bit of arthritis, especially in his front left knee, so the past two summers he has not been doing any heavy work whatsoever. They do believe that with the correct joint support he could get back to regular light duty work.

Due to Remy's age, there are a few special care things they've been doing for him. He needs senior feed twice a day to keep his weight on and a skin supplement called Equishield SA once a day to manage his allergies. He's also occasionally gotten Benadryl for allergy flare ups.

They say he is genuinely the sweetest horse in the world and they want to do right by him for all he's done for them. They also say that he would be great as a kid's horse or a companion horse.

If you are interested in giving Remy a safe landing in a forever home, we will connect you with the woman working hard to find Remy the next best life.

Good morning from Mommy and Will, and the humans who care for them. These two are just too cute together. They are two peas in a pod and totally in love.

Food coma....Moo and Mini (left to right-daughter and mother) are so stuffed they are enjoying a nap in the sand. The sand is cool. They have a sandy area outside and their run in shed is layered in sand in the summer. Their shed is fluffed with shavings in winter for a comfy, dry, warm sleep. They also have a large pasture to roam. This is peace. This is sanctuary.

This is because our donors ensure they have good food and our staff and volunteers ensure they have plenty to eat, fresh cold water to drink, clean paddocks, a clean shed, and a safe environment to be this relaxed. This peaceful moment is what you help make possible. Thank you to all.
