Gorgeous photos. Also, the big bay mare of RedReiner's was beautiful too.
Your paint in her before photo, looks 100% better than the small herd down the road from me. They are walking skeletons and she continues to breed them. They are of a decent blood line too (I have been told). They get numerous calls on them (all we have to call is the Sheriff's office - and I have) but still, her yearlings looks just awful.
I have given up calling animal control for uncared for horses. I have such a large equine comunity in North kitsap, that we all tend to get together when theres need, and gently hound the owners into selling, caring for said horses, or giving them away. Ive noticed over the past two years, that most of the time, people just didnt know what all it took to properly care for their horses. So everyone gets together, and we try to help educate those who are willing to learn. I know numorous people who donate feed out of pocket, donate barn space for recouperation "sp?" ect. Our animal control here usually doesnt do much until the circumstanses are dire. So we try to not let things get that bad, as it can take years for AC to step in.
wow! that's awesome!! Unfortunely here, in farm country, (and as a vet tech in sunnyside for 6 yrs) it's a throw away mentality animal control is not even in the picture even tho we have one! My neighbor has calves that are absolutely horrific looking and my sister works for bovine vets, and when I called her this winter and asked her if the vet could come out and see about it, she said they wouldn't bother, cause they don't want to get tied up in court, you need to call the sheriff! Right! that's gonna work!!!
I'm glad tho that your community comes together to help that's the best for all!

Hoping and praying for a quik recovery for her! But it is a risk we all take when owning / working these large animals. No matter how domesticated they are, they are and will always be dangerous.
I really hope she heals up quikly. Ive had my fair share of equine related injuries.

Well I have found out that Michelle will have surgery Wednesday for the fractured pelvis. Also when they got her to H V they found that she also has a broken wrist/arm. I have been over at the stables this am looking putting up gates on the driveways. This is unrelated to the injury but is a project that Michelle was starting to do to help keep her daughter from getting out by the road. The call was made this am for a locate of utilities. I witched em out and it looks like we will be fine but won't know for sure until the locators come out.
Thanks for all of the well wishes for Michelle. She is a very dear friend that is like the only family I have.

The last time I rode I got dumped off a barn-sour mare onto a big pointy rock and displaced the joint between the ischium and the illium (a common "broken pelvis" and one that got treated by a week's bed rest, and set me up for sciatic pain for the rest of my life). I have more cow-related injuries: my first shoulder dislocation was from a big holstein in the show ring. Of course my worst all-body damage was from a wooden corral panel falling on me, and I partially dislocated my left hip this winter due to a bad combination of a frozen watering trough and a random loop of barbed wire, but both of those stories need hand gestures to tell properly.

is absolutely true, although I'm also with CR about the necessity and humanity of culling particularly mean or especially stupid animals: when the tamest and most intelligent ones can do so much damage by rare accident, there's no reason to keep the ones that try to hurt you a'purpose, or are always freaking out at the smallest breeze. I don't ever go into the field in the summer without knowing exactly where the bull is and how I can get away from him if I need to; I don't approach a new calf if its mother is at all nervous about me doing so. When I get my weaned wether lamb late next month or early July, he's not getting a drop of water nor a bit of food for at least a week which is not from my hands or lead to on a lead I hold (which will mean a whole lot of personal contact and getting up very early) because over the years we've determined that the best relationship between us and our animals is mutual respect and gratitude, along with a good dose of caution on the human's part.
Which is why, when the rooster crowed right behind me on Sunday morning, my first thought was "oh, dear, I didn't bring any chicken treats."

It varies.....some say Hitler Died is April 30, 1945...others say that the skull believed to be his was tested and found to be a woman's? So who knows?
He was a SHE?
No wonder he was all messed up. Should have stuck to art instead.

I took Prada to the equine dentist last thursday. He checked her out, and said she doesnt need a float. He also checked where she ripped out two teeth a little over a month ago. She's all healed up from that too. No signs of wolf teeth iether coming in yet. so I will have her checked again next spring, when he "the dentist" is back on this side of the mountains.
Thanks for the oppinion RedReiner!
Oh that's good! your being very thorough! I'd just give her some time! Yep I don't care how you stack it 17 hands is big!!!! LOL
Sometimes my DH and I wonder how we pay our bills and feed everyone too! lol Luckily even with horses being accident prone, we have kept everyone happy and healthy, with minimum vet biils and trips. I still have to take Prada into the vet for exrays of her jaw, but not for another month. Just need to make sure she didn't leave anything behind when she tried to eat my fence and ripped out two teeth. Stooped little filly.
Oh I made some progress with her yesterday! finally got her to longe to the right without turning her butt at me!
Also rode Lacy for a while, man og man are my legs sore! I havnt been up on a horse sence last fall! and that mare is stubborn when getting her to work close to dinner time. lol
