Malachi at 12 days old

Dr. Matt was vet to a 140-horse breeding farm across town and saw foals virtually every day of his life, yet he would stand propped on our fence and watch this newborn race up and down the steep rocky paddock and he’d shake his head, saying, “I’ve just never seen a baby like this one.” He was fascinated by Malachi and I think he loved him as much as we did. This baby horse who was conceived in the wild and who broke all the domestic rules. He was born under the stars with nobody watching but God and his mama. The foaling book told us that after a couple of weeks he could come outside for a maximum of two hours a day. We laughed, because Malachi had never been inside. He was running up and down the hill and around rocks and boulders on his third or fourth day of life and I remember Kathleen saying, “Just think of all the babies who never get a chance to do this.” Read More→

From people who appear to actually care about your horse’s health and happiness. This is the singular best treat on the market as far as I’m concerned because Omega Fields’ Omega Nibblers® Low Sugar is the only treat I have found that uses 99.9% pure Non-GMO stabilized ground fortified flax. That’s .9% higher than required for human food grade. Nobody else does this. Every heart-shaped treat contains 684mg of properly balanced Omega 3s, and 15 of these treats are a tasty Omega 3 alternative to ½ cup of Omega Horseshine. Without any of the bad stuff found in other treats.

Skin and bones when we rescued her at 7 months from
an awful confinement in Iowa. Now Miss Mouse is
a beautiful, healthy, happy young lady.

The Kentucky Equine Research Staff reports in a recent EquiNews that confinement weakens bones in horses.

A horse in the wild will move anywhere from 8 to 20 miles per day. A horse in a stall, by study, will average only 800 steps per day. The equine body and brain are programed to not be confined.

Not only does confinement weaken bones, it causes intense physical and emotional stress that, in turn, produces most health, hoof, and behavior problems. Read More→

40 Horses from all breeds and backgrounds
all working 8-10 hours every day on the asphalt,
concrete, and marble of downtown Houston.
Barefoot and Bitless!

All thriving, healthier than ever, with vet bills cut in half. Which pretty much shoots holes in the theory that all horses cannot go barefoot. All of these did. Successfully! And most of the Houston Mounted Patrol horses work the streets bitless. The success of this program has now caused other mounted patrols around the country, most recently Austin, Texas, to go barefoot. Read More→
