The temperature was wonderful for a short trail ride this am, and Mila handled it great for a 3 yr olds 1st time.

She was excited her mom came and brought her friends Brandy and Ruby and seeing Aunt Arlene, but Ruby wasn't so thrilled to see her bratty little sister again.

Last Sunday we welcomed this pretty mare for some training!

She will be working on finding some relaxation, learning to look to humans as the leader, and become a solid mount.

Unfortunately, Aniyah is not going to be moving forward with us as a riding horse. This very sweet, eager to please mare is beginner safe on the ground.

With a horse in Kentucky being positive for rabies, this is a good time to make sure your horse is vaccinated. It's not just dogs and cats at risk!

THE MORE YOU KNOW...

Did you know that humans can be exposed to Rabies WITHOUT sustaining a bite from an infected equine? This is because contact of skin or mucosa with the saliva could be enough to transmit the disease.

Rabies has many faces, but they are all deadly—once a horse shows clinical signs, the animal invariably dies within a few days as there is no treatment.

The good news is that modern vaccines are highly effective and current AAEP recommendations list rabies as one of the “core vaccines” that should be given to all equines annually to maintain immunity (read the full AAEP vaccination guidelines here: https://aaep.org/guidelines/vaccination-guidelines).

Equine rabies is a real risk for all horses, and a public health concern as well. Be sure to set up a regular vaccination schedule with your veterinarian if you haven’t already done so. Remember that strange behavior on behalf of your equine friend is always a valid reason to check in with your veterinarian!
