Stormy Weather

We have been so lucky during this stormy weather- we had a bit of flooding in our aisles during the initial snow melting but otherwise we've gone through this crazy winter quite seamlessly. Here (above) we see Peanut, our wee little rescue runt piglet headed down the hill to see what's happening at the barn.







Our tractor helped us in the snow... but it was our tireless volunteers who have been by our side working to keep things running smooth. Some are out with the horses, others picking up blanket donations, others fostering horses, and still others behind the scenes fundraising, advertising and helping with adoptions.

Our first big freeze required some interesting water bucket filling techniques... it's been a great learning experience. We're working on getting a generator, some rain barrels,and a kerosene heater for the next time we lose power and heat (and Western Washington tries to resemble Eastern Washington)!

Both Kat and Risky went to Foster Homes (potentially adoptive homes) this past weekend, and we think Reba may have found a forever home as well. Kat may return to Serenity to foal soon, but will likely be adopted by her current foster momma.

Our fabulous farrier came out despite the terrible weather to tend to Risky, Stormy, Kat, and others who were due to have their hooves trimmed.

All in all we are pleased with our ability to navigate the surprising weather and keep all our horses safe and healthy. Many of them seemed to enjoy the snow, running and playing and rolling and enjoying just being horses...
