A Shite day.

Today started well, with the farrier out bright and early to shoe horses, and I was ready almost 30 minutes ahead for once.

My assistant took one of the horses out for some in-hand walking as part of a new conditioning program, while I held the last couple of horses for shoes. She then called me from the arena saying that the mare was having a neurological event that in the moment appeared to be a seizure.The mare stumbled several times before falling against the fence and passing out for about 1 minute, with some tremors. She was able to get herself up, after my assistant carefully removed the halter at my instruction. (note that this part occured while I was still holding a horse for the farrier)

I called our vet clinic and consulted the on-call vet, who was not worried as she had no fever, and was reasonably aware and had gotten herself up and moving. The only sign of anything unusual other than the prior event was that even at rest with her head held at normal awareness you could see a leaping pulse along the jugular on both sides of the neck up to about halfway. (normally this is only visible in the bottom 1/4 where the neck meets the chest, I learned when the vet arrived later in the afternoon)

We placed the mare in one of my smaller riding arenas that was soft and clear of equipment along with some hay and water for turnout under observation for the rest of the day. I went into my house for lunch for about an hour.

I came out to find that during my lunch the mare had passed away, with minimal signs of a struggle. I am guessing that she had passed within the last 20 minutes prior to my arrival. The vet came out for an exam and determined that it was Congestive Heart Failure, of which the only signs may be a passing out event and the leaping pulse. There was literally nothing that could have been done unless she was already open on an operation table when the initial event occured. This mare had been healthy, sound, and in fabulous condition prior to this happening. I was grateful that my assistant was not injured, nor was the mare in a riding session. She was out in our arenas both times, probably the softest surfaces and safest areas that anything could have occured due to the good footing and pvc fences.

Run Free Bella girl, you will be missed.

Nubian goats come in various colors although the most common color is a blend of brown and white. Nubian goats are also called Anglo-Nubian in Britain, where the breed originated. The term “Nubian” was first coined in France, where goats had been imported from the eastern Mediterranean. These goats are one of the largest dairy goat breeds and were once used as a dual-purpose goat for meat and milk. Please stop by and show this animal some love

Here are some FUEL UP peaks of my Pole Barn which continues to morph and change as I find the time for the sweat equity. 😎 A load of framing wood has arrived! 💪🏼 It’s time to start framing the walls out in this place so I can insulate it for its 2nd year of fun under our new ownership. Last winters’ workouts and ski tuning parties were a bit chilly! 🥶 There’s something about big visions and goals with me when it comes to garages and barns. 🤪 #barngoals #barnlife #polebarn #barngym #homegoals #manzone #fuelup #livethefuel (at Upper Macungie Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjHItx_sWJP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did some horse exercising today with some of my coworkers, our 34year old Arabian gelding was so excited to guide the hack out (trail ride) portion of the ride.
