End of October Happenings at the Ranch

 

    Our furry friends came out to support the Terolyn horse rescue to raise funds to help pay for the rescued colt Neo, who had to spend 2 weeks in intensive care due to a hernia surgery. The scarves were made by Cheryl Allen. 

Go Broncos!

Due to the on going responsibilities at the Ranch, and my recent health issues, I am in need of someone who can help keep me up to date with this blog and social media. It is an important part of keeping the ranch going, also the animals happy and safe (which is our goal). If you know of anyone who can help please contact me at home 303.841.8338. It's not a ton a work but would require something fairly quick once day, possibly less. 

Thank you,

Lynda

Fundraiser for Neo: A FUN Day!

These llamas and goats were part of an obstacle course fundraiser at Terolyn Horses for a colt, Neo, who underwent a hernia surgery and is recuperating.

Ace went with Lynda to Terolyn Horse Farm to bring the goats and llamas for the obstacle course. 

What a great helper she is!

Granddaughter, Ryann, is riding her horse, who is being dressed up like a little devil. 

She just needs to add the horns and red tail.

She's about to fight the dragon and skeleton dog with little Daisy.

Daisy is looking at the skeleton dog to see if it is related. 

Daisy came along to get her toenails trimmed by VetTech Shauna, 

who flew in from Tennessee to help Teri for the event. 

The dragon is watching over Ace, looking up on him.

Bill and Sam are getting ready for the obstacle course.

Llamas Nathan, Millie and Elizabeth were the most popular part of the obstacle course.

Rowdy's 30+ stitches removed, 9/24/20

Dr. Debbie Samhouri did Rowdy's cryptorchid's surgery. 

Now two weeks later, we're ready to remove the stitches. 

Volunteers Eric and Lorine successfully removed 30+ stitches from Rowdy's surgery scars. 

Looks like his incisions healed nicely! 

Thanks to Dr Samhouri for a great surgery and Eric and Lorine for removing all those stitches.
