A big White Bird welcome to Victoria Solzbach who has joined the team as our new shoer, and to trainer/trimmer Katelyn Bryant, who will be doing our barefoot trimming! As our previous farrier moved to Ohio (Ol Raspy, and no, we did not drive him away!), we are fortunate in having found such skilled local talent to help keep our horses' tootsies in top condition!

There is nothing like a barn full of nice hay to help you sleep at night! Many thanks to the volunteers who came out to help us stack today. We are about half way to having what we need for the 2026 season. Progress!

This was way too close for comfort! We are happy to see the rain, but relieved that this lightening strike (red dot) in Rocket and Ruby's paddock did them no harm. They were safe and dry in the barn.

This handsome fella' is Reuben! Eight years ago, we were contacted by a horse owner who had fallen on hard times and needed our help. Reuben (originally a stallion) arrived with his little herd of three and underwent the removal of some factory-installed equipment during his stay at White Bird. He was adopted soon afterward, and since then, has continued to live his very best life. Thank you, Shirley, for providing the excellent home he deserved!

Yesterday was "Part Two" of our hosting the Town of Farmville Parks and Recreation's Summer Camp. Activities for this event included our Horse "Meet and Greet," Model Horse Painting, and a fantastic vaulting demonstration by Kathy Pitt of Hunter's Ridge, the awesome Suffolk (rare breed!) gelding, Pal, and the Smooth Move vaulting team. We had a great time! Many thanks to our dedicated volunteers who helped us to prepare for, set up and manage this event, which helps to introduce youngsters to rescued horses. Who knows? Tomorrow's rescuers may be right in front of us!

Volunteer shoutout! This is Lua, Nora and Marco. This awesome family has been helping out at White Bird for several years. Nora is the resident artist who is the talent behind our stall tags. She also makes fantastic hand-crafted items for our annual Open House raffle. Nora and Marco have been donating their allowance to help support our horses. And every Tuesday, they clean stalls and fill water buckets to keep our horses clean and hydrated.

Volunteers like these are critical to the care of our homeless horses and they are deeply appreciated. We just couldn’t do all this without them!

Time for Skye to come into the barn and out of the heat! Temperatures are a little lower today, but some of our horses are more sensitive than others and overheat more easily. We are watching them all carefully for signs of distress. We will sure be relieved when temperatures return to normal.
