Jai doing what she does best

Jai demonstares the proper way to lift a babies leg for hoof cleaning and inspection. A wise lesson to learn lest you wear a baby knee to the head. They may be little but they are STRONG.

Foal training is growing

With every passing week more and more volunteers show for foal training. It's a great way to spend some time with the babies and take part in their development.

Kaylee learning its ok to have things on your back.

Good training for when the blanket is needed in the fall.

Jen P. with Bella. learning to adapt to changing surfaces.

 Sox a big white face and one blue eye.

Bella, Finally another Filly for Kaylee

A sad day for some, Joyful for others

My buddy went to his new foster home today, For the past 4 months our daily visits to the barn had me splitting my time between Kaylee and Wonder. I hadn't realized at first but he was a big reason I was beginning to enjoy the visits more and more. While he was intimidating, nippy and pushy to most, he almost always showed me respect in the stall or paddock. Of course there were times he wanted no part of it (but then again he was still a baby even though he didn't look it)

Jen we wish you the best of luck with Wonder. I know he will teach you as much as you teach him.

He has the right amount of spunk and attitude to make it fun.

Kaylee goes to the fair

Big day today, Kaylee, Wonder, Lucky and Cole went in the trailer and to the Bolton Fair.

It was a big day, time to show them off and raise awareness for Lucky Horse.

There were foal training demonstrations.

Jai and Linda doing desensitivity training with Kaylee.

Linda leading Kaylee after going over the blocks

A treat for tasks performed!

Even Linda got in on the action trying her hand at the Women's 2 person saw pull.

AND THE WINNER IS

FINALLY SEEMS TO BE GETTING BETTER

It's been over a month, multiple visits from the vet, blood work and tests. Can you beleive all the tests were negative with all levels and electrolytes normal. What the H**L!!!!

It appears it may have been a feed change and some bad weeds in the paddock. Kaylee and Wonder have been moved up the hill to a paddock with sand and no weeds. Low and behold shes getting better and they actually seem to enjoy it up here among the larger horses. They have plenty of running room and have a ball playing when turned out.

She's not feeling well

As we head off for our annual fourth of July in Maine, Kaylee has developed a case of diarrhea. Hope fully it is just a little bug.

07/05/09

IT'S GETTING WORSE! The poor thing you can just see her discomfort. Her back end is getting irritated, but she still is as good spiritred as ever.

07/11/09

Still Bad- last pictures for a while as we spend our time cleaning and talking to the vets trying to figure out what is causing this.

Linda washing Kaylee- this is a daily ritual with her being sick. Lucky for Wonder he has remained unaffected.
