Farrier Day. Every seven weeks. No exceptions.
Horses depend on their feet. A very wise horsewoman once told me, “No hoof, no horse.” And after years of caring for horses, I can tell you, those might be the truest words ever spoken.
If a horse’s feet aren’t healthy, you don’t have a horse. Period.
That’s why here, trims happen every seven weeks, year-round. Rain, shine, sleet, ice.
Whether we feel great or feel awful—it doesn’t matter.
Hoof care is non-negotiable.
Now, two of our guys; Thor and Bob have made it very clear they are not fans of Farrier Day. That also doesn’t matter. Their comfort and our farrier safety come first, so we work with our vet and farrier and responsibly sedate them.
The result? Thor and Bob now love Farrier Day, because they’re comfortably numb. 😌
This is what Farrier Day looks like for Thor, and honestly, it’s a pretty cool thing to see: calm, safe, stress-free care for a horse who needs a little extra help.

Because at the end of the day: no hoof, no horse, and we take that seriously.
We made a promise to take care of these horses and we will never forget that promise.

You know how, when an animal comes to Lucky Day, we love for them to discover their special calling or their gift?
Well, Sprite has officially found hers.
She is our local esthetician and let me tell you, she’s got quite the talent.
Here she is giving one of her custom facials, and she does a fine job. If you’re in the market for a new esthetician, you’re in luck.
Sprite’s facials are:
100% organic
No products used
Non-GMO
No chemicals even used, just spit! ;)

If that’s your vibe, this might be exactly what you need.
So feel free to contact us to book the new "Sprite Facial". Just $10 or heck, she said just bring her a cup of grain (or sneak her a bottle of formula since we are trying to wean her!)

Full disclosure: it hasn’t done anything dramatic for my wrinkles yet but I’ll keep you posted if I suddenly start aging backwards.
Please join us in welcoming our newest staff member: Sprite, Esthetician Extraordinaire.

Yesterday was piggy flipping day aka mani/pedi day.
Our piggies Lucy, Beatrice, Belle, Henry, Tenacious P, Missy Elliott, Pearl, Johnny were the only ones that needed trims.

Pot-bellied pig hoof growth generally slows in colder winter months due to reduced activity and cooler temperatures, (similar to other animals), but it's still crucial to still provide hoof care and to check for any cracks or injuries.

Our pig farrier comes 2 times a year, every January and July; no exceptions and our horses farrier comes every 7 weeks, year round. These animals depend on their feet and it is our job to make sure their feet feel good. Horse trims are tomorrow. (Carrie is super excited). Yesterday’s total was $140 and we thank Zack and Heather @ Freedom Acres for taking such good care of our potbelly crew.

The security team was very happy to finally be able to patrol again!
We had a nice break in the cold weather so these guys were all over the place today. We didn't have the heart to tell them it's not quite Spring yet.
Anyone else ready for that?

And we are officially into easter egg hunt season! These two were pretty cleverly hidden too! I'm getting pretty good at this game 😉

Amigo and Pearl have the best view of the night sky. Their pasture allows for the best nighttime pics too.

Pearl has become quite the diva too-
Each paddock has a heated water trough in the winter, which we refill daily.
Well tonight I went in to feed and Pearl met me at the gate and had me follow her to the water, I swear she was stomping and had a slight attitude.
She then looked at the water and looked at me. Apparently someone (ummm- it wasn't me, so it had to be her or Mr. Amigo) had dropped a big chunk of hay in the water, and apparently that is absolutely unacceptable for Ms. Pearl.
She was looking at me like "do you see this junk I'm my water? I do not drink water with floaties!!"
So I then drained the whole thing.
Swooshed it all out.
As it was refilling, she stood and monitored the whole time, then when it was full she walked up, looked in it, made sure there were no floaties, then she drank.

Afterwards I am pretty sure she flicked her hoof to dismiss me.
Pearl runs the place.
I think her new name shall be Princess Pearl!

Sammykins out for a stroll!
You can call him anything, just don’t you dare call him late for dinner! 😄
And I swear Sammykins listens better than any other piggy we've ever met!

Artie loves to go outside but sometimes his little nubs get cold, so we figured out a solution, he gets his own little chariot to rest his rear end in.
Works out perfectly. We have been chatting with Infinity Able Pets about his situation too and may be coming up with something for him once we get Sprite’s cart ordered.

As we wrap up 2025, we want to pause and simply say thank you.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for following along. Thank you for caring.
This year was a heavy one.
It was filled with deep love, but also profound loss. We welcomed new lives to the farm, and we said goodbye to far too many beloved souls.
The heartache was real, and the tears were many.
But this is the truth of sanctuary work: every life, no matter how cherished, eventually comes to an end. Our purpose has never been to prevent or prolong that, it’s been to ensure that every life is lived with safety, dignity, comfort, and love. And when the time comes, that love doesn’t disappear. It stays with us, in our hearts, in the memories, in the stories we retell or the passion it helps us continue to pursue.

Even in the hardest moments, we still love what we do. We believe in it. And we wouldn’t change it, because every life here mattered, deeply.
As we share our farmyard newsletter, the additions, the losses, the stories in between, we do so with gratitude for every single person who has walked this journey alongside us.
Here’s to 2026.
May it bring healing, hope, joy, and continued kindness for the animals, and for all of you.
Thank you for being part of Lucky Day.
Wishing you a peaceful, prosperous, and love-filled New Year. 💚🐾
