Happy Birthday Willie!

Today one of our long term residents turns 32 years old!  Willie arrived at Ferrell Hollow Farm in 2004 and spent most of his life in New York, moving a few times as his owners job changed.  I've always said Willie marches to the beat of his own drum, he is his own man, that is for sure.  He has thrived here and looks wonderful this spring.  As soon as he sheds out completely, he will be as shiny as a copper penny!  We look forward to many more years of caring for this special boy!

The Vet visits the Drafts of Ferrell Hollow Farm! I called my specialist vet, Dr. Wright, of TN Equine Hospital, out to take x-rays of Siegfried, Buddy and Slim today. The results we found were surprising to both of us! Siegfried, 23 y/o Percheron, has had a history of chronic laminitis for 20 years, and I thought that is what had been plaguing him lately, despite a strict management for Insulin Resistant horses and some very expensive supplements! X-rays of his front feet show significant high and low ringbone, with his left front foot the worst. X-rays of his hocks showed only minor arthritis. While I has thrilled that...
