Worming & the 3 from Colusa!

Colusa County Animal Control delivered these 3 to Safe Haven Horse Rescue on April 4, 2011. They are isolated from the general populous for now.

Saturday, April 10th it was time to get them all wormed! The grayer of the two geldings was first, he tried to resist but w/ Bonnie & Tracey administering, he had to take his medicine!

All done! He has his eyes shut! He is 'eating up' all the soothing words Bonnie is saying to him! It's safe to say, he's the favorite of the three! In the process of getting him wormed, we saw his teeth & discovered that he & the other two are quite young! Just a couple of years old! Real short little teeth on these guys!

Next, Tracey & Cathy tackled the whiter gelding! He wasn't too thrilled either, look at those ears!

Good Boy, Tracey says & gives some pats. Cathy is soothing him too!

The little mare is very standoffish & Bonnie did all the right moves to get her to join up & be haltered! Good Job! The geldings were really being mean to the little mare at feeding time, so she is going to get wormed & moved out of that pen.

Good girl! that halter looks good on you! She was very scared but she followed along nicely. She will be an awesome horse for someone someday soon! So, where are we, on their care? Worming done! Vaccinations coming up next! &........

The Farrier is on the list Asap! Quite the crack going on with the whiter gelding. Wonder if Cody will want to put shoes on him? I'll keep ya posted.

 Bye for now,
