2 years in the life…

So… it’s been a minute or 2 since i’ve blogged. Wellllll, more like 2 years – eek!

Although my website hasn’t reflected it, there has been a LOT going on at the barn!!!

Equine Dentistry – Do horse teeth actually float?

LOL. I couldn’t help myself. The answer is who knows? :) When we, in the horse world, talk about “teeth floating,” we don’t mean on top of water…

Horse teeth are VERY different from human teeth. First and foremost, they grow – continually. … Continue Reading

Welcome “Boomer” and Rebecca to the Green Barn!

There is a very special place in my heart for people who rescue horses. It’s hard to believe that a beauty such as Boomer would need “rescuing,” or even adopting but, unfortunately in the world of horse-racing, more often than not these incredible athletes find themselves in less than ideal situations when their racing careers are over.… Continue Reading

Evie’s Misfortune… with a Happy Ending!

I was called in for help last month in rehabbing a sweet babe named Evie who found herself in a heap of trouble when she chowed down on a bunch of leaves from a Red Maple tree.

It’s such an odd thing – this toxicity – it’s well known to most horse owners that Red Maple leaves are toxic, but no one really knows why… and the other weird thing is that the leaves aren’t toxic if ingested while live, it’s when the leaves fall off the tree and wilt that they become dangerous…??… Continue Reading
