This message is from: "sandra church" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi-hope all the ill horses are showing improvement. My 36 yr old pony developed pneumonia-104 degree fever, respiration of 90+ so I decided to put her down-called the vet, called the backhoe operator, then by the time the vet got here, Pacer had perked up & I couldn't do it! She recovered & I saw her galloping & bucking across the field yesterday! Hopefully, Amy is also mending.Karen, THANK YOU for the info on the wild cherry tree. I wish I had a way to test for toxicity level to know when it'll be safe to let my minis back in their field....that's where the majority of my neighbor's leaves fall. I found a perfectly green (small) branch of wild cherry in their water tub yesterday....just makes me want to crank up the chain saw but I guess I could be arrested for trespassing & destroying property!Carol-the information I read about preparing horses for hurricanes all recommend that horses be in their pastures with break-away halters & identification rather than in stalls. But-one horse in Va. died in its pasture when struck by a falling tree. Another died when a Menonnite couple forced their driving horse across a sideless bridge which was covered by water. The Menonnites & their horse drowned. I'm very thankful that you were spared damage by Juan & that we survived Isabelle although the new log jumps & water hazard (huge hole left when a huge oak came up by its roots) are still in my largest pasture. I fenced off the hole after remembering the sad story of Tommes. Take care everyone....Sandra in very cold Va.
