If anyone out there knows Dr Mende from Wolf Creek Equine in Lothian Maryland, please consider signing this petition and sharing with others. She is being targeted by someone who wishes her personal and professional harm. She has done wonderful things for my horses and I can't believe someone is doing this over a real estate transaction 🤬

They understood the assignment! Pictures and descriptions of my horses for a friend who is unfamiliar with them but helping out with the feeding schedule! Zoom in on the "nameplates"! 😆

PSA for today! While feeding this morning I came back through the barn one last time to notice one "missing" horse. I peeked into Onyx's stall expecting to see her quietly resting and lying down. Instead I see her wedged into the corner of her stall on her back, with her legs folded over her belly, "cast", in other words stuck against the wall with the inability to roll back away from the wall. Luckily I am usually able to quietly but quickly move into action. If you are ever alone in this position and need to roll one over, here's how. Grab a long lead line, preferably 10' or a lunge line, though I find that's too much line but better than a short lead, you need room for safety. Go for the hind foot on the bottom. Loop the lead and try to "catch" the hind ankle around the pastern. Give yourself room for the horse to flip towards you and try to be out of harms way. Lean into the lead and walk away from the horse pulling the hind leg towards you. The object is to get the horse into their ribcage so they can get up on their own. At that point, GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! Let them do the rest. But you'll need to use the hind leg to flip them. It's scary for the horse and not pleasant for the human, but it's possible to do on your own. No, I did not snap any pictures, just wanted to unstick my 26 year old mare from her position of terror. I found a wiki article which in my opinion gives some poor advice! For starters, if I'm alone, I'm ABSOLUTELY trying to right the horse. I'm not waiting for help. Unless you are a very small, young or frail person, give it a try. But stay safe. Attaching their pictures for reference but they show two legs being used. If you have two people, fantastic, use both legs, but if it's only you, you'll need the hind leg, unless the position of the horse seems more likely to roll from the front. Judgement needed based on the individual situation.

Do you know the difference between a trot and a pace?!
