Even Haven Horses

Horses.
One day, when I am very old and I can not walk anymore, they will still be in my heart as a trophy of my memories.
I have met people who taught me something and have the same spirit, and I have met others that I'm glad I forgot.
I got wet,
I felt cold,
I felt warm,
I was afraid,
I fell,
And I stood up,
I hurt myself,
I laughed out loud.
I watched some of the best take their last breath.
I spoke a thousand times with myself.
I said more prayers on my haybale than I did in church.
I sang and shouted with joy like a madman,
And yes ... sometimes I cried.
I’ve lost count of the numbers of foals I’ve raised.
I have seen wonderful places and lived unforgettable experiences.
I have laughed so hard I’ve cried.
I have raised World Champions.
I stopped a thousand times to see the sunset.
I never missed a McDonalds for my Diet Coke.
I met some amazing people that I now call friends.
I spent money I did not have, giving up many things, all for the sake of horses.
Only a person who loves them understands.
Even Haven Horses is now “horse-less” for the first time.
But do not worry…
Looking back I smile as I know it’s been an amazing ride that I wouldn’t trade for the world.
Thanks to my husband for being by my side through it all.

May God bless my friends and all their horses...

Tomorrow marks a huge milestone at Even Haven as we say goodbye to our last horse. I'm not sure I ever thought this day would come as horses (too many to count) have been in our lives for over 50 years. The people they have introduced us to, and the experiences both good and bad have shaped us. Instead of being sad though, I want to share with permission a comment made by a good friend that brought us to tears.

"Just think of all the people's lives you have touched with your beautiful, fantastic breeding program. You just do not know how much joy you have brought to so many people's lives over the years through the horses they own because you selected the right stud and the right mare to breed to produce the right baby so that someone could own the prize of their life....Amazing. Thank you Bev"

Thank you Brenda Long for believing in our program, loving Prissy and being a friend. Prissy was foaled at Even Haven and is now raising some fantastic foals herself for Brenda.

Enjoy the moments friends and if you have an Even Haven horse please reach out, send a photo, or give us an update. We love to hear from all of you!

Breeders would you like to save some $$ on vet expenses? We no longer have a use for our external ultrasound machine. The unit is in next to new condition and four years old. Includes a hard carry case and instructions. Purchased for over $2600, asking $700. Shipping is available for an additional expense.

Details from manufacturer, Animark:
Kit complete w/ carrying case. A fully external ultrasound unit used for the detection of pregnancy in mares and cows. When aimed at the uterus, the display will show a pattern or spike indicating pregnancy, and no spike if the animal is open. Our electronic pregnancy detectors are highly accurate and easy to use. Used externally, they are more convenient and safer for the animal than palpation or internal ultrasound units. With Animark ultrasound instruments, you can expect to Detect pregnancy as soon as 14 days after breeding. Check at your convenience, in 1-2 minutes. Check as often as you like, any time until birth. Cull, keep, or rebreed on accurate information. Save on vet bills. 98% accuracy Detects pregnancy easily and accurately The Pregscan is a fully external, A-scope ultrasound machine used for the detection of pregnancy in horses, cows, and other large animals. The Pregscan will provide accurate information about the reproductive status of your animals, allowing you to increase herd efficiency, decrease costs, and improve your profitability. (Length 9 inches; Width 8.5 Inches; Height 3.5 inches; 3 pounds) The ultrasound instrument displays the exact location of density changes or tissue interfaces in your animal. When properly aimed at the uterus, the display will show a pattern or spike indicating pregnancy and no spike if the animal is open. Because the animal's uterus changes density soon after conception, you can identify pregnancy as early as 14 days after breeding. This unit is specifically calibrated to recognize the tissue change upon conception in large animals. With sophisticated electronics and digital output, the Pregscan is 98% accurate at detecting pregnancy 2 year warranty Pregscan is constructed of durable materials, making it ready for heavy, rugged field use. Rechargeable batteries allow for full portability. The unit also comes with a detailed instruction manual, training video, charger, and carrying case. We have sold several of these units to both Equine and Cattle producers, and they have ALL been extremely happy with the machines!

It’s the first time in more years than we can count that we aren’t expecting a foal. So many wet nose kisses. ❤️ We’ve loved every Even Haven foal and hope you give yours a hug tonight.

Found a little Dolly to help ease the pain from Reese today. Turkey is thrilled she’s got a new playmate.
