Piper
Piper
Our newest rescue horse arrived 4 weeks ago. She is an 11 month old Thoroughbred/Trakhener filly named Piper.
Having gone to see her, her subdued disposition and need of TLC, along with general less-than-healthy body condition and some digestive issues made us want to bring her to the farm.
After getting her on a good feeding program and a probiotic she began to pick up weight, develop a better coat and show more energy.
However, during a veterinary exam a substantial heart murmer was discovered and the veterinarian suggested she be taken to Ohio State University Veterinary Clinic for an echocardiogram to determine the extent of her problem.
Piper was found to have several congenital abnormalities/defects of her heart. There is nothing that can be done to correct them at the present time.
What we CAN do is continue to give her loving, supportive care, good nutrition and supplement her diet with digestive enzymes, CoQ10 and a heart tonic.
She is currently enjoying life. She has lots of energy, runs, bucks and plays with her new friends and gets pampered and spoiled! We’ll keep you updated and post her most recent photos as time goes on…in fact we’ll have some new ones very soon!

First Fundraiser
Our first fundraiser will be held at our Winter Fun & Games Show on Sunday, March 14th here at the farm. Everyone is invited and we hope YOU can attend!
The fun & games will start at 10:00am and a Soup’s On Fundraiser will be 
held in the lounge attached to the indoor arena.
There will be many varieties of soup & chili offered for your enjoyment!
You can donate $5 and receive a cup, spoon, drink (bottled water or hot chocolate) and 5 poker chips. For a $10 donation you get a bowl, spoon, drink and 10 poker chips.
With either donation you get unlimited access to all the “soups”. When you are finished you use your poker chips to “vote” on your favorite(s). There will be a cup by each soup pot. The chef of the most popular soup will win a prize.
You can also bring along any laser and inkjet printer cartridges or cell phones. We will have a donation box available for these items!
As always, every little bit adds up & helps with medical costs, feeding and housing of the rescue horses!
