Our girl, Baby

Bad morning here, we lost Baby. She was almost 29 we have had her for 7 yrs.  She did not have a good life prior to her arrival here.

Today is Misty's Birthday!

Misty is 32 years old today (April 29), and she could not have done it without all of you.

Please friend me on Facebook for all the latest news.

Stephanie

Good Tuesday morning

Hope all of you have had a good start to the week.

All is well with the horses, so the start of the week is good. Went visited with Rocky today (OTTB that my parents have been fostering for 6 years) and he had his pedicure. Rocky is 41 years old and a real sweet gentleman. Today while holding him during his pedi I noticed how grey his face is becoming. Standing there I took my hand and rubbed around his eyes. He loves this, and before we knew it he was standing there sleeping. The only time he opened his eyes was when he had to give a different foot. So so sweet.

Casper and Justice were playing horse tag today. It is so much fun to watch them play. Geldings are so much more playful in my opinion (my opinion only), as mares seem to take the little nips and chasing a tad bit more personal..guess they need to get over themselves.

Chloe aka Big Dog has adjusted so well to her new environment. There have been a few challenges by a couple of the pack but we expected this to occur. Like any family changes do happen.

Freddy is doing quite well, there have been zero issues with his Heaves aka COPD. The damage has already been done to his lungs (no fault of anyone) . His former owner did everything she could for him on a daily basis. Here is just one link that describes Heaves. There are more sites that an individual can go and search. Our weather here seems to be agreeing with him. It is possible that his sides might not bellow out when he breathes. More than likely this will always be there but not to the extent it was when he resided in PA. He has not coughed or had any wheezing episodes since the first day he arrived. He did the first afternoon he was here, but according to our vet (whom he saw two days after his arrival), this was quite normal as excitement can trigger the heaving, cough and wheezing. But since then, he has not done this. He is quite content being with Bright and she with him.

The MHR&S Team

Chloe has arrived!

She arrived last night at approximately 8pm Pahrump time. She was greeted by a very excited and tail-wagging MHR pack. The following pictures were taken this morning, and since BruNO is in charge he told her the couch was okay to be on...his rule not ours and he knows this as he high tailed off it when we got up this morning, throwing her under the bus.

Love is in the air

Here is the latest Valentine Couple, Freddy and Bright.

They are getting along very well! The engagement hasn't been announced but they are in the courting stages of their relationship, and Freddy is hoping that everyone who can will please participate in the Hearts for Hay fundraiser presently running through the month of February.

Your donations help to provide the always much needed hay for the horses at MHR&S

Thank you very much in advance for your kindness and generosity.

Miss Chloe from the great state of Mississippi

This is Chloe, a 1.5 yrs old, 145 lbs Great Dane. Our son Joseph is bringing her all the way from Mississippi. He said she is a love, and she will be joining the MHR&S family. She should be arriving either Friday or Saturday.

Freddy's check up

Freddy received his post trip exam by Dr Hadland and received TWO HOOVES UP!

Dr. Hadland and I went over all documentation received..allergies etc., past treatment so on and so forth which was all good.

He (Dr. Hadland) stated our dry environment is the best place for him. He is in great shape for his age. He said that once he sheds out we may see what he called heave lines. This is muscle that has formed due to the way he breathed. This he stated is not unusual and not to be alarmed. When it comes times for shedding he said "Stephanie, have a good time" ..lol. He will probably be the first to shed out. Oh and Freddy is allergic to cat dander, but we are a kitty free zone. Not by our choice, but the choice of the dogs.

Thank you once again to Freddy's mom for opening a new chapter in his life.
