Today was spa day for Maude… whether she ordered it or not! 😂

When we started working on her tail, we quickly realized we had a situation. Tangles, knots, and dirt had turned part of her beautiful mule tail into one giant matted mess.

There was a whole lot of detangler, patience, brushing, picking, pulling apart knots—and eventually, a little trimming where there was simply no saving it. Just look at the pile we took out! 😳

But underneath all of that mess was a beautiful tail just waiting to be found. ❤️

For horses and mules that haven’t always had regular grooming and care, things as simple as detangling a tail can be part of getting them comfortable with being handled and cared for. Maude was such a good girl through the whole process.

Another little piece of Maude’s makeover complete. 🫏💕

Guinness is getting some extra TLC for those big feet of his! 💙🐴

Guinness is currently dealing with thrush, so along with treating his feet, we’re spending plenty of time working with him on picking them up and standing patiently while we clean and treat each hoof. As you can see, he’s being a pretty good boy about it!

Guinness has a long history with us. We’ve cared for him on and off the mountain since 2016, long before he came to the Appalachian Horse Center. Watching him learn to trust us with things like handling his feet makes these moments a little extra special.

Right now, our focus is getting those feet healthy and comfortable and continuing to teach Guinness that being a domesticated gentleman comes with a few perks—even if hoof treatments aren’t his favorite one. 😂

One foot at a time, big guy. 💙

Guinness got a little extra TLC today! 🐴❤️

Our big guy has been dealing with some tender feet, so today he got a brand-new set of shoes to give him some extra support and protection. He was such a good boy for the farrier — quite an accomplishment for a horse who is still learning all about domestic life!

Every new experience is another step forward for Guinness, and we’re so proud of how far he’s come. Hopefully these new kicks will have him feeling much more comfortable!

“Honey” is still waiting for her home! 🐴💕

This pretty filly is 16 months old and already (53 inches) tall. She’s still growing and filling out and is going to be a beautiful girl!

Honey has been started leading and loading and is making great progress. She also had a vet check last week and was given the all clear. ❤️

If you’re interested in giving Honey a wonderful home, please fill out an adoption application! We would love to see this sweet girl find her person and start her next chapter. 🏡🐴

Got some free time this Saturday? Looking for somewhere to volunteer? 🐴❤️

We have LOTS of fences that need painting at the Appalachian Horse Center, and we could definitely use some extra hands!

Come spend a few hours with us, enjoy some time at the farm, and help us knock out a big project. No special skills needed—just clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on! 🎨

If you’d like to help, comment below or send us a message so we know you’re coming. We’d love to have you! ❤️🐴
