The poop Scoop

October 15, 2012

This is an unusual day here. I haven't had many quiet days in the stable in a long time. Move over Xina!

Horse health updates.

Horse vaccinations last Monday went very well. Everyone except Trucker was good about taking their shots.

Sissy is on the mend and is at least getting out of her stall for turn out.

Casey has been diagnosed with uveitis and is being treated with steroids for now.

Doc is battling Laminitis. Hopefully the Bute, shoeing and everyone pulling for him will keep it from getting worse. We're thinking about ya, Jan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter Ventilation Guidelines.

I know it's cold. But your horse will do much better if he or she has fresh air.

The barn will typically stay 10 degrees warmer inside with 14 horses than the outside temperature.

WHEN IT'S…

30 degrees and up keep the leeward doors open wide enough for 2 people to pass.

20-30 degrees keep the leeward doors open wide enough for 1 person to pass.

10-20 degrees keep leeward doors open enough for Oliver to pass.

0 degree leave main front door open a crack. Burrr.

 

 

Thanks to everyone that helped unload shavings last Friday. We unloaded them in record time. 2 1/2 hours. Tina said she never wants to do that again. Christina was taking pics that day too. It is a disgusting job. Cough, Hack, Wheeze! Who's the beast of burden around here?

 

 

 

 

 

I'm back!

Keep your heels down, Holly.
