Summer heat can escalate quickly into a serious welfare risk for horses affecting hydration, comfort, and overall health.​

The four keys to beating summer heat are simple but essential: ​
💧 Water​
🌳 Shade​
💨 Airflow​
⏱️Timing​

​Make sure your horse always has access to fresh clean water, reliable shade or shelter, and good ventilation to help regulate body temperature. Then adjust work and turnout schedules so exercise happens during the cooler parts of the day when possible.​

Together, these basics help reduce the risk of heat stress and support safer more comfortable summer conditions.​

It’s an honor to be able to be a member of A Home for Every Horse and the United Horse Coalition and a participant in the Equine Welfare Data Collective surveys. These programs help rescues like us!
Thank you to A Home for Every Horse, United Horse Coalition, Equine Network Foundation, Equine Data Collective, ASPCA, Purina, Chewy and so many others that bring these benefits together!
It means a lot to us and we need it so much to be able to continue on and help more horses and people facing hardship or needing a bit of help to keep their horses! It also gives us resources to help get horses to new permanent homes when needed!

Please note the FarrierDirect flyer, if you know an AFA member, please pass this along!! It can help them help a horse owner in need as well as keep farriers paid for their very much needed hard work!

We are so appreciative to every person that helps us help keep horses safe and cared for!

Scooter has to agitate his big “sister,” Kricket, he loves the drafts. She is easy with him but she will scold him, which he definitely needs from time to time.

Well Dottie has done great with taking care of this rambunctious boy but she is older and growing tired of him nursing. He is creep feeding mare and foal feed, munching on hay and grazing very well during turnout, so we are going to start weaning him off of her.

We will start separating them for short periods and increase their time apart gradually.

We will have a couple of our old babysitter mares or his Uncle Oni with him so he isn’t alone.

Yes he skinned his forehead, he is a rambunctious baby boy, they are going to have bumps and scrapes from time to time and we will not always know how they got them. No we will not bubble wrap him 😉. We keep things as safe as possible but they are curious and playful and things are gonna happen.

Great idea

The guys took down old tpost fence, rebuilt perimeter fence to this area and we have a nice new grazing spot next to the arena. The plan is to have a couple more run in sheds/paddocks this side of the arena, like the other side, but for now it works great for additional grazing.
