Renew Therapeutic Riding Center focuses on ability over disability - Holland, MI - The Holland Sentinel

When I lived in Holland, Michigan, I boarded horses at a lovely barn called Stoney Creek. Now, nearly 20 years later, it has been refreshed and rededicated to be a therapeutic riding center.

Secretariat's stride measured 25 feet!

Take a moment to enjoy this site.  It is super!

It looks like the movie Secretariat is awesome!

A good story with horses, yeah!

Equine flu is the most common upper respiratory disease of horses around the world.

I noticed that my horse Fantasy had a runny nose, so I wanted to be informed.  Clinical signs are: fever 103-106, coughing, thick nasal discharge.
The cause is a virus, it recurs annually, and can be spread internationally.  The full webinar can be viewed at Horse.com.

Mica had to go to the vet today

A sore on his mouth has been diagnosed as a cyst.  It is very uncomfortable and thus he is loosing weight, as it is difficult for him to eat.  A shot of fluids and a shot for the infection; and he seemed to improve right away.

West Nile Disease Prevention in California

I am grateful to be a part of a very responsible group of horse lovers at Rose Bowl Riders.  When I heard from Ariel that the vets will be out to give West Nile Virus, and Flu/Rhino shots, I wondered how important it is to get these shots. We don't have a lot of mosquitos in California.   I found a very good video on youtube by theHorse.com:  this video shows the clinical signs:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJtVP5Bd5bs&NR=1.

The Glendale Canine division demonstrated how their dogs can down a person even when muzzled.  Very impressive!

The Pasadena Humane Society sponsors a fundraiser walk at the Brookside Park Sunday, September 2

Ivory got dressed up for the occasion by Marin.  The temperature at noon was over 100, so the crowd melted away by 1:00.
