Well... what a whirlwind couple of weeks it has been! Busy, busy, busy!
At the very end of the year, Ajax arrived. We then had to transport most of the current gang to Foster Homes because on New Year's day, we have 7 new arrivals! So, I'll go through the list of horses... we're up to 18 again I believe.
Magpie - she is doing phenominally well! The vet has cut out the dead tendon over the exposed bone, because it's not exposed anymore! The tissue from the other side has grown under the flap and the bone is now covered! The smallest of the four wounds is completely closed now, with another wound well on it's way. It's just the exposed tendon on the back of her right hind that is slow going. That is just due to the fact that the tendon slides with every step. It all looks as healthy as it could be though. It just takes time.
Ajax - is a very nice guy! We had him gelded and he's just hanging out and healing. Once he has healed up, he will be going to Bobbysox's foster home to see if they get along. If everything pans out well, then both boys will be Adopted together! Here's hoping!
Rhapsody is now Adopted by his awesome foster-mom, Tara. That was a secret I had to keep for a LONG time so that her mom could surprise her on Christmas morning! So awesome! Baron, Lulu and Fable are all at their new homes as well, living it up!
Willow, Legend, Epic, Duke, Duchess, Hula, Bobbysox, Starbright and Friday are still doing what they do at their foster homes. They are all doing very well.
That leaves us with Magpie, Ajax and Mulligan here along with the new herd! My daughter has put her foot down and claimed naming rights. She has never had the opportunity to name incoming Minis and she just couldn't pass up the fact that there were six girls and her favourite TV show has six main characters. So, they are now named after the My Little Ponies! LOL
"Rarity" "Twilight Sparkle" "Rainbow Dash" "Pinkie Pie" "Fluttershy" "Applejack"
There is also a boy who came with them, Rarity's two year old colt, who our friend Shawn named after one of the boy MLP's. So, he is now "Big Macintosh". LOL
So, it turns out that Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack are all in foal. Dash is due anytime and the other two should make an appearance later in the Spring. Here's a picture of Karen (one of our awesome volunteers) with Dash and others from the MLP herd.
