Today we welcomed a volunteer group of some students in the Genesee Valley BOCES Animal Science class. They pitched in with the barn chores and got to give a few of the residents a nice grooming! Thank you for your help!

Tonight Emmeline was treated to the massage talents of Michelle Denise White at Forelegs Forward. She was less body sore and more receptive to touches this time. Michelle was glad to hear that Emmie is now outside walking more, as she has zero correct muscle development, having spent her life inside a house and much of it laying down. There's a long way to go, but Emmie seemed to enjoy the treatment and attention!

Water remains as important for your horse in cold weather as it is in the summer. As a matter of fact, decreased water consumption in the winter is thought to be the primary inducing factor for impaction colic — although there are other predisposing factors such as poor hay quality, lack of exercise, internal parasites and dental problems.

Impaction colic is essentially constipation and most often includes the accumulation of hard, dry f***l material in the colon. The usual signs of impending impaction colic are depression, a decreased appetite, and decreased production and dryness of manure.

Studies demonstrate that you can increase your horse's winter water consumption if you provide access to heated water, but ONLY if that is the only source of water available. As always, if you have any questions about preventing colic in your horse, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information!

We have a full barn of beautiful horses waiting for homes!!! There are rideable horses, companion horses, a pony and a mule. All are vetted and in training work. Please go to Www.beginagainrescue.org to see the details!

Begin Again Horse Rescue is a nonprofit based in Lima, New York that takes in unwanted equines, rehabilitates them, and finds them new homes.
