Two More in Need


 

I got a call on Saturday about two horses needing a place to call home for a little while. Yep, I went and picked them both up. They don't look bad. The mare Punkin needs more grub on the ribs, but is doing good. Punkin is very sweet and loves to be loved on. She is very food driven.

Punkin needs her shots, check to see if she is pregnant, teeth floated in a bad way and aged, and she will also need her shots and coggins done. It will cost some money to get her back to normal again.

Jedidiah, He is a young stallion that has been living with his mother Punkin. Jedidiah is nervous but he understands you If you are willing to take the time with him and give him clear signals.

He loves his head scratched when he realizes what you need from him. He is a young bay paint stallion. Now for Jedidiah, he will need to be gelded asap, coggins, and shots.

Both are in need of a good hoof trimming which will most likely be done today. They have both been dewormed as soon as they got here yesterday.


 

We need your help!


 

We are hoping that we can get the help from the public to help us offset our vet bills for Punkin and Jedidiah. We do not get any kind of discount from our Veterinarians' here. We have been loyal clients and still pay full price on everything. We do not want to go and find a different vet just to get cheaper prices. My vet is very good at what he does, and I have been with him for 15 years now. I find loyalty and trust goes a long ways with my animals versus cheaper prices.

I want what is for the best of our horses, not what is cheaper.

If everyone can help chip in we will able to get what they need done quicker.

Just a guess on the cost of Punkin and Jedidiah?


 

Coggins and vaccinations per horse is about $120.00 each and add a $50.00 trip charge

Gelding, I am guessing around $150.00

Exam fee per horse is $25.00 each

Antibiotics large 500 count. $100.00plus

Dental on the mare $120.00 plus or minus. She has some pretty long teeth


 

Providing all of this is done in one day . If he had to come back to do more it is a $50.00 trip charge.


 

Let's see what the guess on cost is:

$710.00 is my guess is what it will cost us to get Punkin and Jedidiah up to snuff .


 

Your help will be much appreciated here.

Our horses leave hoof prints in our hearts. Not one horse is loved unfairly, not one horse is forgotten about here.

Thank you for just taking the time to read this and for visiting our site.
