Doggie Day Care for Horses?!

Doggie Day Care is a familiar concept for many. Thanks to volunteer Sharon Schafer, we have a similar but enhanced version for our horses. During a typical season, summer staff work with our herd six days a week. The horses come into the barn daily and are assessed and fed. During a COVID year with limited staff, this amount of attention is just not possible. A couple of our horses were looking too skinny. They were tested for worms, medication was prescribed, and their diets enhanced. To be most effective, treatment and extra feed was needed daily, sometimes twice a day. Sharon and her husband volunteered to care for the horses at their home and provide the extra TLC needed.

Classy and Thunder returned to camp last week – healthy and happy. In their place Apache and Sunny headed to “the spa” for their tune-up. Thanks so much to all our equestrian volunteers for the hard work, and especially to Sharon for this extra TLC!

  1. THIS IS AWESOME!! THAT IS MY MOMMA!! She has always went out of her way to take care of everyone and everything around her. No one will ever go hungry or without tlc when she is involved, I can personally testify to that as well ss my sisters. We were blessed in the mom department and so are all the animals fortunate enough to be in her care!
