Good Tuesday morning. Oof... 99, 99, 100, 100. HOT!
Got a message from the caretaker at the Ranch at 8:15 last night asking if I could close at the last minute. His daughter was having an allergic reaction and he was taking her to the ER. So at 8:45 I headed down there to feed the skinnies and check on everyone. Some new extremely emaciated horses... one was a teeny tiny little miniature horse. She was just a skeleton. Poor little thing. They have to be so careful when feeding horses in this condition - if they feed them too much, they can die of refeeding syndrome. My favorite - Legacy - was back in the big barn. He was on a stock trailer that overturned on the interstate about 4 years ago. They were being transported to Mexico for slaughter. I think 12 out of 27 survived. He's a young big Thoroughbred who didn't win any races and a complete squish. I just love him!
