With an incoming heat index of 100 to 110 we take a few minutes to remove belly hair and mats from Lollipop and Benita.

I get this question a lot!

Do you know the differences between timothy and foxtail? 🌾🌾

Timothy is a desirable perennial forage with seed heads that lack awns (left).

Foxtail is a weedy, annual grass with awns on the seed heads (right). Awns are bristle-like structures, which can embed into the horse's lips, mouth, gums, and gut when eaten. Foxtail seed heads tend to be a greater problem in hay than pasture since horses cannot easily sort them out.

It was teeth and feet day. All 26 donkeys (and a horse) were trimmed, the three babies had their feet played with, we checked for all of the fly problems, and everyone is now having snacks.
