Happy Day of the Horse! 🐴
Today we’re celebrating the horses that teach us patience, trust, and partnership every single day. So grateful for these incredible athletes and the joy they bring to our lives.

The way this shoulder wound on our yearling filly is healing up is so insane! We thought for sure it would be a huge nasty scar. We went to turn her out for the summer and she found some wire to get into, so an emergency trip to Idaho Equine Hospital on a Sunday night and they got her all cleaned up and about 25 stitches with a drain tube. 5 weeks of stall rest, twice daily cleaning and cutting any dead flesh, a round of antibiotics, and more SSD ointment than I was able to keep track of we are finally to the point we feel safe with her outside! We can’t thank Dr. Gonzalez enough for the amazing job he did cleaning this up and stitching it at 9:00 that night we brought her in! Also, thanks to C&C Performance Horses for breeding such a good minded filly which made the doctoring so easy. Not many yearlings would put up with cleaning of an open wound twice daily without any sedative at all. We can’t wait to be loping circles on this fancy little filly next year!
