Health and Healing

We are so lucky at Serenity to have the generosity of some of the most talented people in the animal care field to help us rehabilitate our horses.

Some rescues have been injured as a result of abuse or overwork, it is heartbreaking. Our primary vets are Dr. DeWard, Dr. Hannah Evergreen, and Pilchuck Hospital, all of whom have been a tremendous support and advocate for Serenity Farm and our rescues.

At Serenity, we are first and foremost focused on the internal and external health of the horse. All of our rescues receive regular worming, hoof care, shots, and dental care. We wait until we determine that a horse is healthy, sound and emotionally healed before we begin riding or regular training because an unhealthy or unstable horse is not safe for anyone.

On Monday, Dr. Hannah Evergreen and her staff are coming out for a day of healing at Serenity, they will be doing trims and teeth and providing medical care to our rescues. We are really excited for this day of Health and Healing for our rescues.

We recently learned that our sweet paint mare Kat has damage to her suspensories from being ridden and gamed very hard at a very young age. This is her second baby and she is only 4 years old. We do all we can to keep her comfortable as she raises her sweet filly, but we need to help her heal these injuries if she is to live comfortably.

A wonderful Reiki master and a Homeopathic healer is coming out over the next week to work on our horses who need healing- Kat and Kiara with their leg injuries and Promise for her Melanoma. Lakota still suffers from a broken pelvis (he came to us with). All four horses need to heal if they are to lead comfortable lives and we are doing everything we can.

To donate to the medical care of the horses at Serenity, you can use our paypal account (paypal@serenityequinerescue.com) or mail a check to our farm (address at website: www.serenityequinerescue.com) or contact our vets and pay directly to our accounts.
