Hi all,
We were out on Saturday and Sunday this week. On Saturday I bagged Jesters supplements and put them in the feed room with his name on the container. We stopped over at a feed store (Cherokee Feed) and got a big bag of grounded flax seed on our way over there. I gave him his first bag in the PM and he ate everything. I also got him out and groomed him up nicely (for once he was a white horse). After 2 hours I finallly got his old, disgusting corner feeder off and put up his new one (there was a lot of rusted bent nails). After feeding I took him up to the out door arena and did some Parelli work with him and he did excellent!
On Sunday I took him out to graze in the big pasture for a couple of hours since his pasture has no grass and it was such a nice day. I also got some new black clip on reins and an indian bosal hackamore (it looks like a rope halter with a built in rope hackamore). I tried on the hackamore and it's a little small, but it still fits.
Thats it for now,
Thanks 4 reading!
Btw... I will try to post some pic's asap:)

Hi all,
Today we had a field trip out at the rescue. We got there early before feeding so I had time to get out Jester and give him a good grooming. He didn't shed as much and he wasn't that dirty so it didn't take me as long as it usually does. His rain rot is starting to come back so I will start treating that immediately. When I brought him out to go to his pasture he was very excited! I also gave him an apple:) A couple of days ago I ordered from Horse.com and got Jester a new, blue corner feeder and apple and oat flavored treats (he's out of his other ones). After we left the rescue, we went to Hamps and I also got 2 bottles of fly spray, roll-on fly spray (fly season is coming to a start), MTG (for his rain rot), and I also got some really good joint supplements after clearing it with Mrs. cheryl. There called Acti-Flex powder supplements by Cox Veterinary Lab.
He will get one ounce in the mourning and one ounce in the evening for 7-14 days. Then he will get one ounce in the mourning or evening. He will also start getting flax seed to help with the Omega 3. I haven't gotten that yet, but I will soon. I will be bagging them together too.
We will be going out there on Saturday so I'll update again soon!

Hi all!
We were at the rescue on Saturday. Jester was a little stiff. I'm looking into getting him joint supplements to help him out with his artharitis and stiffness so I'll keep ya'll updated on that. I got him out and gave him a good grooming and found his itchy spot as well! It's inbetween his front legs. I also soaked his hooves in warm soapy water since they were really dirty. We had a birthday party out there so Jester got hand painted. I gave him a bath after that and took him out to the big pasture for about an hour to graze. Thats pretty much all I did with him.

Hi all,
We went out to the rescue on Thursday and Saturday. On Thursday I only got him out and groomed him. I got a LOT of hair off of him! After all it is shedding season. On Saturday I groomed him again (not as much hair came off) and took him out into the outdoor arena for a little ride. As usual, I gave him treats!

Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, things have been kinda hectic! We went out to the rescue on Saturday and I got Jester out and gave him a good grooming. We also went out into one of the big pastures for a "trail ride". He's doing pretty good. He got adjusted by the chiropractor 2 weeks ago. We all are enjoying the warmer weather too! We will be out there on Thursday so I'll try to update again if I have time too.
