Let them go on a good day. We owe them this. It’s not about us or how we feel. It’s about them.

Two of our senior special needs horses here at TOHS gained their wings earlier this week. Both have lived here for quite some time. Both had a very hard time over the winter and we knew it wasn’t fair to have them try to endure another. We gave them a wonderful summer and early fall to leave this world with those beautiful memories.

Run free with no more pain Niko and Lucy. We will never forget you 💙💙

Let them go on a good day.

Sarah and Boomer got moved from the temp quarantine stalls to permanent stalls in the arena barn on Saturday. They now have pasture turnout! They have limited grass for now as too much all at once can cause colic and founder. Have to be careful adding things into an emaciated horse’s diet too quickly. Baby steps are making for great progress!!!

Sarah. First pic the day before they came here when they had gotten out and were in the neighbor’s pasture. Second pic is today.

The b***y tells the tale.

Ten days difference.

Dentals were done yesterday by another of our amazing vets. Both horses needed done but neither had any unhealthy or loose or missing teeth so further proof that their condition was due to malnutrition.

Sarah’s left hind leg continues to hold swelling. Second vet opinion points to cellulites and fluid retention so a medication will be here in about a week and we will address that from the inside in addition to the poultice and wrapping and BOT wraps we have been doing.

Boomer continues to blossom😊 his personality is that of a teddy bear with some s***k ❤️

Happy chilly rainy Monday everyone!

Updates on Sarah and Boomer and they are all positive!!!!

Both had their feet trimmed Saturday afternoon. Boomer has one hind foot in pretty rough shape but other three seem solid. Sarah had foundered sometime in the last few months (from stress, clearly not from over eating 😡) but dropping the angle in her heels and squaring off her toes to help relieve pressure for now made a huge difference. As we progress if we feel X-rays of her front feet are warranted we will have those done.

Both received their first red light and MagnaWave treatments yesterday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sarah especially has perked up since.

We got bloodwork results back just a little bit ago and while we do have some levels that are low or off balance, nothing is dangerously so and can all be attributed to their starved condition. The best news there is both liver and kidney function for both horses are normal!!!!! That is a huge worry crossed off the list.

I must admit we are weary today as there just seems to be no consequences from any authority anywhere for the owners who did this to these horses. I do hope we can get some laws changed in the county and state to protect horses very soon. Authorities hands are just tied and it’s so very frustrating. This situation didn’t have to happen. It was completely avoidable and today I think I’ve reached the angry stage of this progress. I will do my best to keep it in check and focus on the continued recovery of these amazingly sweet kind souls.

Dentals tomorrow! More supplies have been arriving and I can’t put into words how humbled and grateful we are for each and every single one. From Sarah and Boomer. THANK YOU ALL❤️

Sarah and Boomer having a relaxing afternoon in the arena as the rain has started. Wrapped her back legs with poultice and standing wraps overnight looks like swelling went down a little that’s very encouraging AND she got up from rolling much better than yesterday at this time. Boomer steady as he goes opening up and wanting attention like a lot of attention he loves face scratches! Feet trimmed later today , MagnaWave and red light tomorrow for them both just to start the pampering and hoping to help the arthritis they both have. More updates tomorrow!
