We are SO impressed with Deana Vonschantz! While she always seems to impress us on a day to day basis, yesterday she finished a full Ironman at Lake Placid. This means she swam 2.4 miles, biked for 112 miles (a majority of it in pouring rain) and then ran a full marathon at 26.2 miles. This is an absolutely incredible achievement for anyone to accomplish. What an inspiration!

Here's some fun facts about the equine heart from Dr. Barrow and Dr. Connelly of Barrow Veterinary Service:

"Let’s talk HEART — the powerhouse of your horse! 🐎

💡 Did you know?
A horse’s heart typically weighs 9–10 pounds, but in elite athletes like racehorses, it can weigh up to 13–14 pounds!

At rest, a horse’s heart beats 28–44 times per minute, but during exercise, it can soar to 240 beats per minute.

The heart pumps roughly 10 gallons of blood per minute at rest—and up to 75 gallons per minute during strenuous activity!

Horses have a very efficient cardiovascular system, which helps explain their incredible stamina and athleticism.

The legendary racehorse Secretariat’s heart was estimated at 22 pounds—more than twice the normal size! 🏆

Regular physical exams and fitness assessments help us monitor your horse’s heart health—especially in performance horses."

***Warning! Some heartwarming images attached!!!!***the nurse mare stepping into her role with grace, and the foal is not only surviving but thriving under her care. There’s something deeply reassuring about knowing the foal is growing up in a safe environment, nurtured by a capable and gentle guardian. Over the coming months, she’ll discover the world through her adopted mum’s guidance: how to trust, how to play, how to live in this world!

This week at NEEMSC has been one of the toughest yet, but we're holding tight to the silver linings.

We said goodbye to a cherished mare far too soon, leaving behind her 8-day-old filly—spicy, stunning, and all legs. In what felt like a moment of darkness, the light came quickly.

Thanks to the kindness of our community, the reach of Facebook, and a Good Samaritan— Purcell—who turned her own heartache into hope for someone else, we were able to find a nurse mare almost immediately.

This strong little filly was never truly orphaned—she was alone for no more than five minutes before motherly love found her again.

Our hearts are full. Seeing how quickly people come together to care for a life in need reminds us why we do what we do. This is the beauty in the hard work.

We are in search of a nurse mare today if anyone knows of one available. Please reach out to NEEMSC at 603-749-9111. We’d be very grateful for any leads.
