Little Bear Update from 6/30 - 7/2 A.M.

Little Bear is a joy. It is wonderful to watch just his curiosity as to what is transpiring around him over the last couple of days. He seems to be quite taken with the elderly women across the way from him.

He has a voracious appetite, which is good but he does eat very slowly. We have him on several smaller meals throughout the day in order for him to become adjusted to his new diet. The diet that he is eating has been recommended by our vet.

Prior to his leaving OA he received a physical from Dr. A. Edwards, DVM. I was provided a copy of this physical in regards to his condition and am typing it verbatim.

Small firm knot on ventral neck. Several small areas of healing alopecia. No evidence of parasites. He has been improving dramatically since arrival at farm. Lame on (R) front-ringbone. Seems pasture comfortable. This horse appears to be in good health. Weight is good considering age. No nasal or occular discharge. Weight 662lbs.

On July the 9th, Dr. Hadland will be here to give Little Bear a complete physical and much needed dental work. We will be videoing this so that all of you can see and hear what Dr. Hadland's assessment of Little Bear is and any additional recommendations he may have. We thank you and our vet thanks you for helping horses in need.

Last night Little Bear whinnied at us for his feed as he did this morning. This was a very good sign to us. He is alert, his eyes are bright and he does take a great deal of interest in his surroundings.

We may not do things the way others might, but we do what has proven to work for our organization.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful Thursday. Thank you to EVERYONE who has helped in the Doc Wilbur Medicine Cabinet.

Good Morning to Everyone,

Last night's final check of the horses was at 11pm. Little Bear was doing well very well, and this morning he is doing just as well. He has been munching on his Sr. Equine and Rice Bran. This morning he will be started on psyllium, and this will continue over the next seven days. He is drinking, and all systems are working.

As I stated yesterday, Dr. Hadland will be here on the 9th and Little Bear will receive a complete exam and more than likely much needed dental work. So he will be kept on a soft diet. If you are watching Justin TV, you will see there is a bale of hay in the RP. He is pretty much just nosing through it and picking the tiny grains out of it. This was also the first indication that we knew he needed dental work. His mash had already been prepared but he went there first and we watched.

He is a very sweet little old gentleman, and has been welcomed into our family.

Little Bear has a bath

Cathy Potter and Linda Hayte gave him a bath and Little Bear stood perfectly. He allowed fly spraying and was quite content.

Please welcome MHR's newest arrival!

Please Help Miracle Horse Rescue in welcoming its newest arrival as of 6/30/09

"LITTLE BEAR"

Little Bear arrived at 10:30am this morning. He has been signed over to Miracle Horse Rescue completely. He will be a permanent resident and will receive the love and care he so justly deserves the remainder of his days.

Little Bear will be receiving Alfalfa Cube Mash, Rice Bran, Sr. Equine and Canola Oil and has already received his lunch of this combination and loves it. He will be receiving full check up and much needed dental work on July 9th, 2009. He rested and entire day and night at our wonderful haulers RTB Equine Transports Ranch. Kelley and Randy are excellent, professional and truly compassionate individuals.

We will be posting updates on him as often as we are able to. We will have the video of Dr. Hadland performing everything on him. According to the documents we received it indicates that Little Bear is 30 years old.

Thank you for support of Miracle Horse Rescue.

Trooper, 6/28/09

This is Trooper. Six yr old QH, that we have had since he was a yearling. He was born with deformed legs and underwent surgery at the ripe age of 3 months old. Unfortunately the surgery did not work. However, Trooper does not know his legs are deformed and he motors around and yes even runs and bucks. He is full of personality and would make a great pasture pal. He especially loves the ladies. These pictures were taken 6/28/09
