So I'm a day late and a dollar short!

Ok sooooo I missed a day posting on our new blog.. Ack!! It is still NEW to me as well so.. Anyways.. I went to sleep at 6:30pm right after work. Ack!!

Rescue Updates: 3-3-09 Pepsi and Valentine got their teeth floated. Their teeth were both TERRIBLE!! Valentine was aged at 13years old. :) Valentine should pick up weight quickly now that she can chew properly, poor thing. Valentine will be receiving her shots this week. :) Yay!!

We have several people coming out this weekend to meet Valentine and Dakota..

Valentine is getting used to her new front shoes.. After she passed her trail riding test.. (We had her feet trimmed prior) After a week of getting used to standing properly, because her hooves were so overgrown from neglect. Valentine went out on trail. She blew an abcess out in her front right hoof. Everyone.. this is why keeping up on farrier is SO important!! Her feet being so overgrown and cracked she was walking on the balls of her hooves. Valentine is healing quickly. This type of blow out is not uncommon for rescue horses whose feet are neglected. It should never be a problem again. Lynette Wilson and her daughters are taking very good care of Valentine, putting medicine on her hoof, it is healing well. We'll see if Valentine will be feeling better by Sunday. :)

We will probably turn this Sunday into a BBQ still! :) Since we have so many people coming out. ;)

Bring a side dish! :D
