Unbeknownst to us until much later, he had a broken tailbone, which led to a serious infection that nearly cost him his tail. How do you wash, medicate and wrap the tattered tail of a horse that won't let you near him? We figured it out, and spent an hour a day, every day for over a year, tending his wounds and fighting to save his life.

They've been penned up separately on limited pasture due to their weight, and so that a new filly and her parents could have room for the baby to run.Elderly horse sedated for hoof trimTami Marler, MBA2022-08-01 | Swingin' D Horse Rescue saved Howie from slaughter expecting to immediately euthanize him due to poor body condition and severe arthritis. He and his lifelong companion, also dumped for slaughter, were used and abused until they were profoundly lame from overwork and neglect.
To our great surprise, Howie's companion, Wilma, nearly 30 and skin and bones, had a baby on board. That baby - now a yearling - saved both of the old horses' lives. Once Wilma gave birth, baby Jozi breathed new life into the worn out old pair. Now, the happy trio lives out their lives in pastures of green - pampered and spoiled to their hearts' content.
Our greatest challenge is trimming Howie's hooves. His severe arthritis prevents him from bending his knees, and the pain is so intense, he puts up a heck of a fight. It's far too stressful on him, and he's impossible to control.
Here's how we ensure Howie gets regular hoof trims.
If you'd like to help fund Howie's care, please go to www.swingindhorserescue.com for information on how to donate.

Here's how anyone who's ever known anything about partying knows the pics are as fake as Amber's tears.
#amberheard #johnnydeppAmber Heard body language: Could Australia bottle incident end Johnnys case?Tami Marler, MBA2022-05-07 | WARNING: MATURE THEME, content that may trigger painful memories for survivors of IPV.
On Day 2 of her defense, Amber Heard testified that, while in Australia shooting Pirates of the Caribbean 5, Johnny Depp violated her with a partially full, open, Maker's Mark bottle that was later placed on a piece of paper next to another open, partially full liquor bottle.
While her body language vastly improved from the prior day's testimony (she seemed able to conjure up moisture from her eyes and nose), the parts of the story she was able to recall provided plenty of holes for Johnny's team to exploit on cross examination.
I'm an award winning former investigative journalist who covered plenty of trials and interviewed my fair share of liars, as well as legitimate victims. My husband is a detective who has interviewed literally hundreds of suspects in all manner of major crimes.
Let's take a look at Amber Heard's testimony, and what might come up on cross.Amber Heard body language: what did she snort?Tami Marler, MBA2022-05-06 | I thought Amber hated the devil's dandruff!
On Day 2 of Heard's dramatic testimony, the faded starlet arranges something in her lap, raises her tissue to her nose, holds one nostril closed and snorts with the other. She looks nervously around the room, then wipes her nose and snorts again, eyes darting from the jury across the courtroom.
During her defense against Johnny Depp's charges of defamation, Heard appeared to partake in the very drugs she said her former soul mate searched inexplicably for in her nether regions. Or was it a little something to help with her subpar acting?
Watch Amber's body language. You decide.May 5, 2022Tami Marler, MBA2022-05-05 | Amber Heard sorts something out in her lap, raises her tissue to her nose, closes one nostril with her finger, snorts, scans the room nervously. Then she snorts again and wipes her nostril, still looking around nervously.

Aubrey went down with colic on Saturday. We immediately called the vet, but by time we could get a call back and get her to the hospital, much of her colon was already dead.
This was our experience with the surgery performed by Dr. Garrett Metcalf of Pine Ridge Equine Hospital. We're so grateful to him and Dr. Matz for taking immediate action to save our sweet girl.

We rescued Anastasia from slaughter in March 2019 and for two summers, she's suffered from anhidrosis - an inability to cool the body through sweat. Each time, she stopped sweating immediately after a cool bath. Coincidence?

After a several-minute timeline presentation outlining the administration's response to COVID19, and weeks of detailed explanations of their actions since declaring a Public Health Emergency on January 31, which mandated the immediate acquisition of PPE to replenish the depleted national stockpile and empty state stockpiles, this reporter betrayed her ignorance and bias with this emotional outburst.
President Trump: "You're a disgrace" for framing the question that way.
And she is.
As part of the January 31 proclamation (which was before the month of February in which the president "did nothing"): "...pursuant to section 319F‑3 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d‑6d), and releasing policies to accelerate the acquisition of personal protective equipment and streamline bringing new diagnostic capabilities to laboratories."

Mazi was too thin and frail to ride, and Ani suffers from chronic laminitis due to a metabolic disorder.
After being dumped for slaughter by their previous owners, we took them in and gave them sanctuary. It took several months to get enough weight on Mazi to ride; and we're still trying to get Ani's feet to where she can be adopted by a responsible family.
Mazi is a spunky, incredibly smart Arabian mare. She's well trained and learns quickly. Just under 14 hands, she'll need to go to a smaller intermediate rider.
Anastasia is nearly 16 hands and stout. Also very well trained and gentle, Ani will be appropriate for a rider with any skill level; however, she will likely only be cleared for light riding.
Both girls are absolutely delightful companions - full of personality and charm. They're both typical girls and love being BFFs with each other an humans.

I developed these therapeutic hoof pads that I put in her boots when she has a painful spell. She goes from poking around on her front feet to walking almost normally as soon as her feet hit the pads.
The inserts don't cure laminitis, but they keep her comfortable while we're tacking the root causes.This is Swingin D Horse Rescue - 2020Tami Marler, MBA2019-11-07 | Swingin' D Horse Rescue is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in Coweta, Oklahoma.

We went straight from the kill pen to the vet with that fear burning in the back of our minds.
Happily, the horse we named Chance keeps surprising us at every turn. Not only did he completely recover, we learned that he's beautifully trained, well behaved, and fast as lightning.

We made the unprecedented decision to quarantine them together, since they were exposed to the same germs on the same lot (the other option was to let Raven ship to slaughter, which was not an option).
Because they quarantined together, Raven and Alfred are remarkably bonded. Separating them has been a major emotional ordeal that we feared Raven may not survive. Raven is the alpha of the two, and when she's unable to protect Alfred, she becomes so agitated, she froths at the mouth and runs about at full speed, knocking her limbs against fence posts and plowing through anything in her path. She was inconsolable. With the stupid Oklahoma weather going from flash flooding turning our paddocks to quicksand to the threat of Snowmageddon, we feared conditions were so hazardous, Raven would break a leg or impale herself.
We decided to put them both in the round pen in the center of the pasture for a week, where the herd could go nose to nose with them - especially during feeding time - and where they could get accustomed to the pecking order of the herd. The plan was to first release Raven so that she could still see Alfred while protecting herself.
Because Snowmageddon is expected this weekend, we needed to expedite the process of releasing them to the herd so that they could find warmth and protection in the snow. Because the herd was already accustomed to having them around, we decided to release them together.
Winston, the baby and boss-in-waiting, was (as usual) first to check out the pair. Raven gave him a couple of nasty warning kicks, sending him to the safety of his herd's mama mare. The rest of the herd gathered around Aubrey inside the round pen while Bo (who's being treated for EPM) worked the newbies.
Bo's an excellent manager, and he's not going to let a little EPM keep him from running his herd. Watch how the rest of the gang retreats to the round pen where Aubrey is only concerned with the delicious hay the new kids have been eating. Raven and Alfred stick to each other as they find their place in the herd's pecking order.Herd reacts when introduced to pair of horses saved from slaughterTami Marler, MBA2019-01-19 | Raven and Alfred came from the same kill pen a week apart in late September.

The horses in this video are just some of the dozens of horses we've saved, with the help of generous donors. The majority of horses we bring home to the D are emaciated and in poor health. Generally, their feet have gone too far without attention, they've had no dental care, vaccines or other necessities. We invest in the veterinary and farrier care they need before posting them for adoption.
The issue of unwanted horses in America stems in part from horse lovers not understanding the huge commitment and expense of owning a horse. Even the best-trained, most level-headed horse is like a toddler - if it CAN get into trouble, it will get into trouble. If it CAN be injured, it will be injured. And medical care for a horse is no small matter. Veterinary visits start with a farm fee, just to get the vet to drive out to your ranch. So you're looking at a bare minimum of $65. An emergency vet visit (and we've had many) can cost you $500 or more.
Horses that are well cared for can live well into their 30s. How many beings do humans keep around for 30 or more years? Too often, horse owners don't consider the plan for their horse after that initial, "It would be so cool to own a horse!" Many of the horses we've saved from kill lots were dumped there after their beloved owner died, and family members got rid of the horse like they got rid of old furniture.
More than 130,000 American horses - 92 percent of which are perfectly sound, trained and capable horses - ship to foreign slaughter in Mexico and Canada each year. We realize we're only making a tiny dent by saving horses from the slaughter pipeline, but we hope, by sharing our story, prospective horse buyers will play that, "It would be SO COOL to own a horse" tape all the way to the end, and consider where that horse could end up once the coolness wears off.
