We have big news! We are so excited!

We love a good series as much as the next person—especially one as dramatic as Yellowstone! But let’s set the record straight about one scene that made us yell “NEIGH-way!” at the screen.

In a recent episode, a horse was given an injection of Banamine (a common anti-inflammatory drug) *in the muscle*. While it might look cool and cowboy-chic on TV, here’s the deal: 🆃🅷🅸🆂 🅸🆂 🅳🅰🅽🅶🅴🆁🅾🆄🆂🅻🆈 🅸🅽🅲🅾🆁🆁🅴🅲🆃 in real life and could land your horse in serious trouble.
What’s the Problem?
Banamine (flunixin meglumine) is a fantastic drug for reducing pain and helping colics *when used correctly*. But when injected into muscle, it can cause clostridial myositis—a rare but life-threatening infection that produces gas in the muscle tissue. This can happen fast, turning what seemed like a harmless injection into a serious emergency.
The TV Drama vs. Real-Life Care
We get it. TV needs action, and waiting for a vet to explain safe medication practices isn’t exactly prime-time material. But in the real world, Banamine should be given orally or as an intravenous (IV) injection—and the IV option is best left to a trained professional (like your friendly neighborhood veterinarian 👋).
The Takeaway
Hollywood may make ranch life look glamorous, but don’t take veterinary advice from fictional cowboys. Always consult your vet before giving any medication, and remember: the health of your animals isn’t worth risking for a shortcut that’s TV-only accurate.

Hobbes & Bailey had an amazing weekend at AKC…I’m so proud of how far this amazing talented young lady has come, not only in handling but in life itself.

I am very proud to be her “honorary” mom/auntie when we are away at dog & horse shows.

This is part of the reason I find foster families for my show/breeding girls.

Lola is growing up with an amazing family with two kids…a brilliant beautiful young lady and a full of life young man!! They all spend a ton of time with her and lots of attention and love!!
She is happy to come to the shows with me and of course Tammy but also loves her kids so much.

I am so thankful for my amazing foster families…past and present because without them I would not be able to continue on my path with my breeding program. I love you all so very much.
