What great help! They uploaded over 100 bails of hay from the field, spread 10 tons of gravel, and they even had time to feed, care for, and walk the animals! We love 4Hers, because they are true to the 4H pillars of Head, Heart, Hands & Health. We so very much appreciate all their HELP!!<3

Fall is here! Take a peek...

The leaves are falling but our volunteers are still standing!

 

Thank You Gary for the hay Donation!!

Thank You From Hercules

Thank You From Hercules  

On Saturday night, we walked out to do night feed and noticed Hercules was in major distress.
We quickly decided to make an emergency vet call to the Littleton Equine Medical Center.
There was a quick response to our call as the attending veterinarian Chevalier made the haul all the way from Littleton to the animal rescue, even after hours. 
They where able to treat Hercules expertly and gave us what instructions we needed to do to nurse Hercules back to health. 

Today we are happy to report that Hercules is doing much better, and is eating well!

Thank you to the Littleton Equine Medical Center and to Chevalier for coming out to Edwards so late
and providing care to Hercules so fast and expertly.  

Emergency, after hour, vet bills like this are costly. If you would like to donate and help us continue to provide the necessary care for these animals, click HERE or the link below.

Everything helps, Thank you. 

Education

 Education

At Edwards Animals we like to focus on education. This is one of the many things that we focus on. When you come to volunteer at Edwards we make sure that you are getting a good education on animals and animal care. 

Here is Lena reading our paper on the medicine that we give our animals. This is very important because we do not want to miss a step. Thank you Lena!

Eli thought this sign was just so funny. All volunteers know that we have to wash our hands before we deal with animals, and of course afterwards!

Rubi was showing some of our other volunteers how we feed the animals. All of our animals eat hay.

This is Sarah giving our animals grain. They can only receive so much, so before she started filling up their bins, she had to read how much to give them. 

Fall Fundraising

 Fall Fundraising

 

A big thank you to everyone who came to last Saturday's open house and to Elie for giving an amazing demonstration on roping! 

This open house stands as a fantastic kickoff to our Fall Fundraising Campaign.
With this campaign we hope to fund:

1) Repairs on the barn's water system

2) Various vet bills (such as medicine for Hercules's eye infection)

3) Refill our stock of hay and feed for the fall

Rubi and Eli are getting ready to greet the volunteers. These two ladies are wonderful and so helpful. Thank you Rubi and Eli!

Henry was an excellent help! He was very busy moving things around on the farm.

Thank you to Ann, who organized this successful fundraiser! Edwards could not have done it without you. 

If you would like to donate and help us reach our goals, you can do so here!

Fundraising Event

 Fundraising Event

Laynee Wood, a senior graduate of class 2023 from Legend High School did a fundraising project for Edwards Foundation. This was an Avid Project, which is a college prep class. During this project she held a bake sale where all proceeds went to Edwards Foundation For Rescued Animals. She spread the word and put up flyers around her school. Thank you Laynee for raising money and helping Edwards Foundation!

Joyful Volunteers from Care and Community

These strong helpers are working towards moving rocks to to fill in our French drain for repair. 

Elijah has used his muscles to deliver a red bucket full of rocks. Mark supervises the rock delivery. 

Mark evaluates the proper positioning of the bucket of rocks. 

These men are so pleased because the red bucket is finally empty and they have completed their tasks. 

Bill, Elijah, and Kevin are hard workers!

Whoops, Kevin and Jason have found another bucket of rocks! Oh no!

Oday has found two more rocks to put in the trench. Now the job is finally done, who hoo!

Littleton Large Animal Vets

 Littleton Large Animal Vets

This week, Dr. Dunbar and her assistant Alicia came to do a fall vet check. This care and community group was able to watch and ask questions.

Both of the horses, Hercules and Dealer got their teeth checked and floated. They both got fall shots, deworming medication, and had their eyes checked. Looks like Dealer needs some follow up checks on his , but his cancer is progressing much slower due to treatments!

We are so great full to Littleton large animal clinic and the wonderful vet, Dr. Dunbar for coming here and helping us so much with the animals!

Visitors from Care and Community get to talk to Dr. Dunbar about why horses have to have their teeth filed and why it is important for everyone to brush their teeth!

Dr. Dunbar and her very capable assistant Alisha start working on the horses teeth with the supervision of Angle, Dealers best goat friend.

Alisha was singing Dealer a wake up song as he was waking up from mild sedation. 

Hercules gets the same treatment as Dealer to get his teeth floated, his sheath cleaned, his injured eye inspected and his fall shots. 

Final check for Hercules teeth.

We thank you Dr. Dunbar for the one stop to check up on all of our animals and provide necessary treatment.

 The best news was when Dr. Dunbar checked on Dealer injured eye, and she believes the cancer in his eye is diminishing! We are thankful that the daily oral treatment Carnivora seems to be helping and will continue to use this treatment. She took pictures and will share it with Dr. Lamus from Littleton Vet and Dr. Montabalano who specializes in eye cancer. We are hoping to hear good news.
