This Giving Tuesday, Meet Dolly & Frosty!
Two sweet souls who needed a soft place to land… and found it with HARPS. ❤️

Dolly, a beautiful 21-year-old bay mare, and her loyal sidekick Frosty, a senior pony with a heart of gold, were shipped to us from Missouri with nowhere else to go. HARPS was able to open our doors and give them safety, comfort, and hope.

Dolly and Frosty will be looking for their next home at the end of this month!

Both come fully vetted with:
✔️ Complete health records
✔️ Current Coggins
✔️ Deworming
✔️ Recent farrier work
✔️ Scheduled for dentals later this month
✔️ And plenty of love to give ❤️

Your Giving Tuesday support helps horses like Dolly and Frosty find safety and second chances. Whether you donate, share, or adopt—you help make these happy endings possible.

Donate today and be a part of something special. Together, we can make a difference!

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a serious neurologic disease in horses caused by protozoal infection of the central nervous system.

The Amercian Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) says that EPM is tricky to diagnose because its signs can mimic other health problems and range from mild to severe. Some of the common signs include incoordination, muscle atrophy (especially along the topline or hindquarters), abnormal gait, and weakness. It can also cause cranial nerve damage (facial paralysis, difficulty swallowing), behavioral changes, and even seizures.

If you notice any of these signs, contact your veterinarian promptly. Early detection and treatment can improve the chances of recovery.

After a night of Trick or Treating, Girl Scout Troop 2092 (from Barrington’s Grove Ave. School ) helped ring in a beautiful crisp fall day here at the Farm!

A wonderful experience was shared as our local Girl Scouts learned all about equine care, handling , leading and feeding of our hooved animal friends. Thank you Troop 2092 for all the carrots, apples and your special gift of loving all our animals!
