07.01.2022 Rainforest ride, via the nut farm dam. Slightly lost for a while but that's what makes life interesting. 3 1/2 hour ride. The ponies enjoyed the lush grass in places.

07.01.2022 Aussie stockman and his wife had just got married and found our quiet little Pub for their wedding night. The man approached the front desk and asked for a room. He said, 'We're on our honeymoon and we need a nice room, with a good strong bed." Our English Barmaid winked, 'You want the 'Bridal'?' The drover reflected on this for a moment and then replied,... "Nah, I reckon not. I'll just hold onto her ears until she gets used to it...!!! See more

07.01.2022 Our girl "Khemakazi" she has earned her name by the way she gets around. Top speed. Sometimes crashing into fences or narrowly missing crashing into them. She h...as gone through the veggie garden fences at top speed quite a few times. She can do those fancy western sliding stops when it's raining and like an expert......even roll backs like a pro... Uninjured untill i locked her in a smaller yard.....for her own saftey..... then she presented lame for a few days....what the heck. Let her back out to run like a bat outa hell, narrowly missing fences and spills and back out there being Miss Indestructable. But she seems to have nine lives or more. No scars even. What a little orphan beauty she is and we love her. See more

04.01.2022 We are off again. Absolutly perfect morning. Butlers knob ride. Better Tracks

03.01.2022 Horses and Floods, part II Brian S. Burks, DVM, Dipl. ABVP Board Certified in Equine Practice In the event of an emergency, listen to the radio for public servi...ce announcements and the weather forecast. If evacuation becomes necessary, either move horses to higher ground or take them with you to a prearranged site. To assist emergency services, place waterproofed notes in the stables and house indicating if there are any animals left on the premises. Be sure to turn off the electric at the main circuit breaker. Do not attempt to drive over flooded roads, or to ride horses through deep water; it can suddenly sweep you, the vehicle, and the horse away, causing drowning. If you must leave your horses behind, ensure they have an easy escape route; do not leave them stabled or fenced in small areas with no way to escape. Many animals have died in floods when owners left them confined. Horses can swim quite well and can handle water up to their bellies for lengthy periods. In general, most horses can handle their limbs submerged for 48-72 hours, but limb swelling can occur with prolonged submergence. Your horses may need to be fed where they are and will be kept warm by eating hay. Make sure that the hay stored on high ground is kept as dry as possible, placed on logs, pallets, or posts to reduce ground contact and water uptake. Do not cover hay or other feed directly with plastic covers to prevent rain damage as it is likely to sweat under the plastic and develop molds which could cause respiratory disease or colic. Always place timber over the hay to keep the plastic or iron sheets from touching the hay and ensure some ventilation around the hay. Other foodstuffs should also be stored off of the ground. Horses can experience a myriad of hazards when swimming or being carried away by water. Submerged objects- wood, metal, and even plastic- can cause serious injury when horses are swept into them. Mud can also pose a serious hazard for stranded horses; if trapped and immobile, a limb can fracture or seriously injury may occur when struggling in deep, sticky mud. Eye injuries are commonly sustained when horses attempt to pull themselves free and hit their faces on stalls or fencing. Diseases common to horses after floods include rain scald, scratches (mud fever), thrush and soft hooves, pneumonia, lacerations and blunt force trauma to the limbs or torso, waterborne illnesses such as leptospirosis, and problems from drinking contaminated water or eating moldy food. Prolonged water contact (> 3 days) can cause degloving injury to the skin, where is comes off as if a glove, leaving the dermis underneath surprisingly intact. Contaminated water may carry harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Aeromonas, etc. which can cause diarrhea. Aquatic insects may abound, which can carry the causative agent for Potomac horse fever, Neorikettsia risticii. Sources of fresh water should be sought, but if they are unavailable, chlorine can be used to make large volumes of water safe for drinking (just try and boil enough water for a horse!). Mosquitos and other insect pests may be abundant after a flood. They not only annoy animals but may carry diseases such as eastern/western equine encephalitis or west Nile virus. Flies may spread many diseases, most notably equine infectious anemia. To reduce mosquitoes around horses, purchase insect repellent from your local horse equipment store or veterinarian. Drain water that has built up in old tires, bird baths, and other items. Standing water may remain for some time in low lying areas. Wild animals are also likely to be displaced and can pose a hazard. Certainly larger animals such as bears may pose risk, but also snakes, rodents, and other small mammals can bite or chew upon horses as they are annoyed and hungry themselves. If your horse requires medical attention or euthanasia, you should contact your local veterinarian as soon as possible. Before placing horses back in previously flooded pastures, check to make sure the fences are intact and remove dangerous debris looking carefully along fence lines and in corners. Water may have ruined the pasture causing a green drought where there is some new, but insubstantial growth. In these circumstances horses will need supplementary feeding. Lack of adequate forage could also force horses to eat poisonous plants, such as red maple leaves, cherry trees, poison hemlock, or other such plants. It may be best to wait 7-10 days to allow pastures to dry out and for any fecal matter washed upon them to be destroyed by sunlight. Lush pastures may require mowing before returning horses. Flooding and other natural disasters are a significant source of danger for you, your family, and your horses. Planning ahead and practicing that plan can make things go more smoothly when a real flood strikes. Fox Run Equine Center www.foxrunequine.com (724) 727-3481 Your horse's health is our top priority.
