Punch is a Knock Out!
Hi Elizabeth!
I just wanted to give you an update on Punch. We’ve decided to call him “Chaz”. He was fine the first night but coliced the second day, so we had the vet out and he gave him some mineral oil and electrolytes and he was fine by that night. He’s settled in really well since then and is making friends with our other horses.
We rode him for the first time the third day he was here and he was great! He’s very calm about everything and we walked and trotted around for a while. Yesterday he went on his first trail ride with our other gelding around our property and he really enjoyed it. My mom and I are very happy with him and how well he’s settled into our routine. Thank you so much for all of your help getting him back to Georgia for us! Talk to you soon!

One of the most common reasons a horse colics is due to a change in routine or feed. Weather changes such as a sudden drop in temperature or even a full moon can contribute to causing a horse to colic. Be sure the horse drinks plenty of water and has lots of moist fiber in his diet – especially if the weather is changin suddenly as it did the night that Punch went to his new home.

Spreading the Word About OTTBS

Just wanted to send an update of my OTTB talk with the kindergarten class. First, I just have to say that kids are a great audience! They really soak it all in. Noah and I brought pictures of Kwinn ( Dr. Kenny Winn) and I managed (with tech assistance) to show the kids your websites (including the success stories). I had printed out Noah’s story from the mission page and printed out a picture of Kwinn (prospect page) as a handout for the kids. They really loved that! Noah was so proud to hand his story out to his friends!
Since the kids already knew I had horses most of my life, we started with a brief story about my growing up with horses and my days of riding show horses. Read the rest of this entry »
