But, we are back and excited to share this time with you once again.<br />
<br /><br />
We'll start with some updates and starting in March we'll hopefully be back on track.<br />
<br /><br />
First off, please join us as we bid farewell to Sonja Cowsert. Sonja has been with HHT for many years and has held many important position within our organization such as Barn Manager, Equine Manager, Field Agent and Development/Assistant ED. Sonja had also been our main "Blogger" and her passion for HHT and the horses we serve will be greatly missed. We wish her only the best as she moves on to pursue new endeavors. <br />
<br /><br />
Secondly, please join us as we welcome Ben Goulding as he steps into the roll as our part-time Barn Manager. This winter weather has been keeping him very busy, but we are sure he has everything handled. <br />
<br /><br />
Another new addition to our team for 2015 is Mary Beth Roberts. She has stepped into the roll as Development Director. We are expecting great things ahead with her onboard. Welcome to both!<br />
<br /><br />
HHT ended the year once again exceeding our expectations. HHT volunteers cared for 149 horses, making this our busiest year yet. <br />
<br /><br />
HHT Volunteers are the heart of this organizations and we appreciate all of the time they share with our horses. In 2014 volunteers donated 10,000 hours of volunteer service. Thank you!<br />
<br /><br />
2015 looks to be a VERY exciting year, so please stay tuned!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01064595204684288995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734390764528366085.post-6106233980726597562014-09-11T13:24:00.002-07:002014-09-26T11:48:26.032-07:00Myths debunked.....<br />

<br />
<br />
After speaking with community members at numerous public events recently, I realized that there are persistent misconceptions about this organization's purpose. Hopefully, the following will help debunk some of those myths.<br />
<br />
We are "Animal Cops".<br />
Horse Haven is an equine welfare organization and as such has no legal authority in the State of Tennessee or anywhere else in this country. Tennessee law states that the only two entities that can find probable cause in a suspected equine neglect or abuse case are a University or Tennessee Agricultural Extension Agent or a licensed veterinarian. County officials, typically either the Sheriff's department or Animal Control Unit, have to consult with one of the two before obtaining a search and seizure warrant. In order to receive this warrant, the deputy or animal control officer has to explain and document the suspected criminal activity and present it to a judge or magistrate. Only after probable cause has been found by either a vet or UT ag agent and a judge or magistrate agrees that there is cause and a warrant is issued, does Horse Haven become involved. Horse Haven doesn't get to decide which animals, if any, are removed from somebody's property. When county officials call us for help, it is our job to safely remove the animals from the situation, transport them carefully, get them the veterinary help they need and maintain them as evidence in a court case. We often compare ourselves to tow truck drivers and impound lots. <br />
<br />
We make a profit on adoption fees. <br />
We keep very good records of our expenses because we are accountable to our supporters and the IRS. Over the last three years, Horse Haven spent an average of $550 per horse while in our care. We recouped an average of $111 in adoption fees per horse. That's a loss of $439 per horse. Because we do take care of any and all seized horses, donkeys, ponies or mules, we don't get to evaluate them for soundness, train-ability or personality prior to intake. Some horses are very old, some are very young, some have never been handled and some have medical or behavioral issues that make them more difficult to place in adoptive homes. Our adoption fees range from $0 to $500 to reflect that challenge.<br />
<br />
We sell horses to slaughter.<br />
Due to the fact that we do not pick and choose horses, sometimes we have to have a horse euthanized. The animal may have a medical issue that is financially prohibitive to treat or correct. Or the horse's behavioral problem cannot be corrected with training and the animal becomes a danger to itself or others. These are very difficult calls to make but the alternative of sending an animal to auction to eventually end up south or north of the border at a slaughter plant, is unacceptable to us. A humane, quick death in familiar surroundings has to be better than a long, crowded and scary trip that ends with a bolt to the head. If we had unlimited resources and space available, there wouldn't be a need to make those heart breaking decisions. But we have to manage our funds carefully to be able to maximize our impact on the largest number of horses possible.<br />
<br />
We take in horses surrendered by their owners.<br />
Life can change on a dime. Horse owners lose jobs, get divorced or have to move. Relatives pass away and leave a horse. Horses age and are no longer useful. Children grow up and aren't interested in the pony any more. We sympathize but we cannot take in every horse that has fallen on hard times. We try to help as much as we can with our Community Programs. "Studs to Buds" helps with the cost of gelding that unruly colt. "Helping Hooves" covers the cost of hay and feed for a few months for qualified owners experiencing financial hardships due to job loss, divorce or a death in the family. "The Ultimate Act of Compassion" helps qualified owners with the cost of euthanasia and disposal. In exchange however, we do expect the owners to try to help themselves. We can give advice on how to find a home for an unwanted horse or help an owner feel better about euthanizing the 35 year old blind horse with severe arthritis. But we cannot do it for them.<br />
<br />
We charge Tennessee counties for our service.<br />
Horse Haven provides its services at no cost to the counties. We will assist county officials in any way possible, from picking up and maintaining the animals, to testifying in court. There are no contracts in place with any county in the state. Sometimes we receive court ordered restitution. More often we are stuck with the vet, feed and farrier bills accumulated during a particularly drawn out case. Even if restitution is ordered, it is generally received in small monthly installments. We do not receive any local, state or federal money. Our support comes from our many supporters from all over the country. Generous and kind people that understand our mission and see the difference we make in the lives of the horses that pass through our facility on their way to a better life. <br />

Because of advances in veterinary medicine, horses living well into their thirties are no longer the exception. As they age, they may require more, rather than less care. Turning the old gelding or mare out to pasture to enjoy a well deserved retirement may not be an option if he or she can't maintain adequate body condition on pasture alone. Older horses may literally outlive their teeth and often require a special diet in order to maintain weight.<br />
The following is a list of basic expenses that come with the joy and pleasure of horse ownership.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIa27ZkcM9YaDd7XnGbxJflVEVPV2wE6E0iJmojoCZ6C6sNdANeR2do2KOlOPoGUn1gDQ4MZrwg9AbYzs3T6YAC3LzRvxdDuSFJXipLmMGD0QvRg_9Isb8LZ8vYQA9Viuxt6x1pzUe6QM/s1600/horse+money.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIa27ZkcM9YaDd7XnGbxJflVEVPV2wE6E0iJmojoCZ6C6sNdANeR2do2KOlOPoGUn1gDQ4MZrwg9AbYzs3T6YAC3LzRvxdDuSFJXipLmMGD0QvRg_9Isb8LZ8vYQA9Viuxt6x1pzUe6QM/s1600/horse+money.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
HOUSING. If you have property and an adequate and safe shelter, you need to consider the cost for upkeep of your facility. Pastures need maintenance. There is the mowing in the summer time, seeding and fertilizing in the spring. The price tag for these items depend greatly on the size of your pastures and your location. Shelters and fencing need upkeep and repairs as well.<br />
If you don't have your own facility, you will need to board your horse. Horse Boarding can range anywhere from $100 for basic pasture board to $1000 or more for boarding that may include training or lessons.<br />
<br />
FEED. Many boarding barns include this item in their monthly fee. Make sure you know how much hay and feed your horse will receive. If the quality and/or quantity is not sufficient for your horse, you may have to pay extra. Hay prices vary greatly across the county. Here in East Tennessee a decent bale of grass hay costs between $3 and $6. A bag of quality feed costs around $17. The average horse requires approximately 2% of it's weight in roughage (hay or pasture) and 0.5% of it's body weight in concentrates (feed). For the average 1000 pound horse, that translates to 20 pounds of hay or pasture and about 5 pounds of feed.<br />
<br />
FARRIER CARE. Horses need consistent farrier care. Even barefoot horses need to be trimmed every 6-8 weeks. Most farriers charge $30-$40 for a trim and $80-$200 for a set of shoes.<br />
<br />
VETERINARY CARE. If you are lucky enough to not have any mishaps. accidents or other medical emergencies, a yearly vet visit is still needed. Between the farm call, vaccinations, possible teeth floating and Coggins testing, you can expect to spend $200-$500 annually on veterinary expenses.<br />
<br />
EQUIPMENT. Depending on your plans for your horse and your horses' living situation, you may need nothing more than a halter, brush and a hoof pick. If you are planning on riding the horse, you will need tack for your horse and appropriate attire for yourself. You may want to go trial riding with your friends, in which case you will need a truck and trailer. This is the most unpredictable budget item. While there are a few things that we actually need to care for the horse, there are so many wonderful accessories that we would like to have.<br />
<br />
Horse ownership is a big commitment, emotionally and financially. At the same time, it is one of the most rewarding investments I have made.<br />
<br />

Strut, who has been featured on this blog repeatedly, has found his person! It was love at first sight. Maggie and her mom came to check him out at the end of June and three days later, he went home.<br />
Strut, who was renamed "Apache" has been with his new family for six weeks. Last weekend he got to go camping for the first time and he did great!<br />

Some of them stayed with us for a long time, some for just a little while. But every horse leaves a little bit behind when it moves on to it's new home.<br />
Some have an impact on our volunteers by providing a learning experience. Some provide challenges to our staff with either a medical or behavioral puzzle that requires solving . Every horse that enters through our doors teaches somebody something. And every horse that leaves here takes a little piece of our collective heart with it.<br />
<br />
While Horse Haven's ultimate goal is to find permanent, loving homes for the animals that come to us from abuse and neglect situations, it is bittersweet for our staff and volunteers to see a horse leave. This was the case just today when Minnie Pearl was adopted by Heidi.<br />

His winter coat is gone and he is now a beautiful, shiny, liver chestnut color. We already knew that he stood patiently for the farrier and for grooming. He was responsive in the round pen. It was time for somebody to get in the saddle.<br />
<br />
Strut stood quietly when I tacked him up. He didn't flinch at the pad or the girth.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When I bridled him, he had no objections to the eggbutt snaffle bit and held it quietly in his mouth. We did have to let the bridle out a total of 4 holes. He has a large head.<br />
We took him into the round pen and after a little lounging and flexing, it was time to leg up.<br />

CJ, the young trainer that evaluated Strut for us, felt that he may have had some training in the past. He "sort of" knows how to neck rein and he "sort of" knows how to move off leg pressure. He does have a lovely, big trot and he carries himself very well. He did not ask him to canter that day. We're saving the canter for next time, when he graduates to the big arena.<br />
<br />
<br />
Below is a picture of Strut when he was picked up by Horse Haven after receiving a call from the Oliver Springs Police Department. This is what he looked like four short months ago. And while his training still needs improvement, this wonderful gelding has come a long way already.<br />

Strut continues to fill out and now weighs over 900 pounds according to our weight tape. He still has a little shedding out to do, but the coat we're exposing more and more of with every grooming session is beautiful. It appears that he is actually a liver chestnut and not just a plain sorrel. He's also starting to realize that the food will not stop coming and he's becoming more trusting every day.<br />
<br />
This Sunday, Strut will be evaluated under saddle. We're very excited to find out what this boy knows.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned to next week's blog on "As the Barn turns" to get the scoop on Strut's evaluation.<br />

One of the more talkative horses we have cared for, she let's us know the minute she has finished her expensive, fescue free, expecting mare hay. She has successfully trained staff and volunteers to respond to her call with additional forage. If service doesn't arrive fast enough, she starts rattling the panels of the round pen. Once she establishes eye contact with her intended service provider, she will attempt to flirt her way to additional food by blinking her big pretty eyes. This tactic works every time.<br />
We try very hard to make sure that the second part of Martha's pregnancy is much more enjoyable than the first part. <br />

Two court dates in two different counties, involving a total of 8 horses. Both individuals in these cases were charged with "Cruelty to Animals". And yet, the cases are very different. The accused in the first case had the financial resources to retain an attorney. She had been in the horse business for a number of years and people in this relatively small horse community knew her. Her horses were well bred and some of them had been professionally trained and had traveled to horse shows. It should be safe to assume that she would understand what it took to care for horses. One would think that she would know that horses can't live in a small, muddy enclosure. That horses need roughage in the form of hay, especially when left outside in December without access to shelter. That horses in poor body condition would also need feed on a daily basis. She should know that some injuries need to be treated. By a veterinarian.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ1-nz871toXcoyFwpq1D_fXc__kiQYMBRR5ydG7n6KwT1EEMdPmAPNA7gX9lsN-BFKqjTeNEcnc66YA7BhfSWofJwmjLW19-T_A6jMcuuToaqpSVXDZshjnMR4pygVhyphenhyphenSH_MQTZ_xmKw/s1600/559690_420183548076505_970085046_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ1-nz871toXcoyFwpq1D_fXc__kiQYMBRR5ydG7n6KwT1EEMdPmAPNA7gX9lsN-BFKqjTeNEcnc66YA7BhfSWofJwmjLW19-T_A6jMcuuToaqpSVXDZshjnMR4pygVhyphenhyphenSH_MQTZ_xmKw/s1600/559690_420183548076505_970085046_n.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Yet, when her horses were seized by Animal Control, they were standing in 6-8 inches of boot sucking mud. There was no hay anywhere. No shelter was provided to protect the horses from the icy rain. With little body fat to keep them warm, they were shivering. There was half a bag of horse feed on the property that had not been replenished in days. She claimed that the person she was paying to feed the horses wasn't doing his job.<br />
<br />
The accused in the second case was appointed a public defender. His financial resources are limited at best. His horses were also living in a dirt lot but had access to a shelter. As in the first case, there was no visible feed. His horses were not well bred. He claimed that they were thin because they were "wormy" and that he hadn't been able to worm one of them because he had been unable to catch her. He also claimed that one of them had a twisted intestine which made it impossible to gain weight.<br />
<br />
While the owners of these horses come from different backgrounds with very different levels of understanding of proper horse care, is either situation defensible or acceptable? The outcome for the horses was the same in both cases. They were thin and neglected. The first case took months to resolve. Numerous court dates require everybody involved to be present. Time away from work and other obligations takes a toll on witnesses. Witness fatigue is a defense attorney's friend. If a case drags on for 12,16 or 24 months, it is unlikely that all the witnesses will still be available to testify. The second case is ongoing as a new date was set today.<br />
<br />
All the while Horse Haven cares for the horses involved. We provide feed, hay, shelter, veterinary and farrier care. And we do attend every single court date to make sure that the prosecution has all the support needed to get justice for those that cannot speak for themselves. We truly represent the horses every time we step into a court room. We are their voice.<br />

Food arrives on a regular basis and people come to brush and pet him as well. He is steadily gaining weight. His ribs are almost covered and he now has a little jiggly spot on his shoulder. He is shedding out the yucky, flimsy winter coat and we can see glossy chestnut hair peeking through the remaining guard hairs. Strut is very appreciative of his large stall and let's us know how much he likes it by only using 1/4 of it to poop in. The remainder of the stall is always immaculate. The barn help thanks him for his consideration. He really enjoys his grooming sessions, especially the soft brush on the face. He is showing more spunk and now canters to the round bale in the morning when we turn him out. The farrier will see him for his second trim later this week. Hopefully the tiny bit of seedy toe will be trimmed off and gone. He has become quite fond of Dudley the pony which he demonstrated by calling loudly after Dudley had to go work in the arena for a little while this weekend. We are glad he's making friends.<br />

<br />
It was bound to happen eventually. With the large number of horses that we care for and the army of volunteers that make our work possible, even with the best management and precautions, we were going to contract a contagious disease. It all started very innocently. One snotty nose and a little cough. We are so fortunate to have wonderful staff and volunteers that watch the horses very closely. We scheduled the vet for the next day. Blood was drawn from the affected horse as well as three others that were stalled along side the symptomatic horse. We quarantined the barn and waited for the test results. The call came Wednesday morning. The little mare with the snotty nose showed a strong positive result. None of the four affected horses have exhibited swollen glands as of yet.<br />
We felt it was important to inform our volunteers and the general public about the test result. We care about the welfare of all the horses, ponies, mules and donkeys in our community and the only way to prevent the spread of strangles is to quarantine and educate.<br />
We hope that you find the following educational.<br />

Introduction</h3>
<div align="left">
Strangles is a highly contagious and serious infection
of horses and other equids caused by the bacterium<i>,</i> <i>Streptococcus
equi</i>. The disease is characterized by severe inflammation of
the mucosa of the head and throat, with extensive swelling and often
rupture of the lymph nodes, which produces large amounts of thick,
creamy pus.</div>
<div align="left">
Strangles is caused by <i>Streptococcus equi</i>
subspecies <i>equi</i>, better known as <i>Streptococcus equi
(S. equi)</i>. The organism can be isolated from the nose or lymph
nodes of affected animals, and is usually readily identified in
the laboratory by simple sugar tests.</div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="trans"></a>Transmission and Environmental Survival</h3>
<div align="left">
Horses of all ages are susceptible, though strangles
is most common in animals less than 5 years of age and especially
in groups of weanling foals or yearlings. Foals under 4 months
of age are usually protected by colostrum-derived passive immunity. <sup>(1)</sup><i>
S. equi</i> is main-tained in the horse population by carrier
horses but does not survive for more than 6–8 weeks in the
environment. Although the organism is not very robust, the infection
is highly contagious. Transmission is either by direct or indirect
contact of susceptible animals with a diseased horse. Direct contact
includes contact with a horse that is incubating strangles or has
just recovered from the infection, or with an apparently clinically
unaffected long-term carrier. Indirect contact occurs when an animal
comes in contact with a contaminated stable (buckets, feed, walls,
doors) or pasture environment (grass, fences, but almost always
the water troughs), or through flies. <sup>(2)</sup></div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="clinic"></a>Clinical Illness</h3>
<div align="left">
Susceptible horses develop strangles within 3–14 days
of exposure. <sup>(2)</sup> Animals show typical signs of a generalized
infectious process (depression, inappetence<b>,</b> and fever of
39°C–39.5°C). More typically of strangles, horses develop
a nasal discharge (initially mucoid, rapidly thickening and purulent),
a soft cough and slight but painful swelling between the mandibles,
with swelling of the submandibular lymph node. Horses are often
seen positioning their heads low and extended, so as to relieve
the throat and lymph node pain.</div>
<div align="left">
With the progression of the disease, abscesses develop
in the submandibular (between the jaw bones) and/or retropharyngeal
(at the back of the throat) lymph nodes. The lymph nodes become
hard and very painful, and may obstruct breathing ("strangles").
The lymph node abscesses will burst (or can be lanced) in 7–14
days, releasing thick pus heavily contaminated with <i>S. equi</i>.
The horse will usually rapidly recover once abscesses have ruptured.</div>
<div align="left">
Although the disease process described above is classic,
some horses (especially older animals) will develop a mild, short
lasting disease without or with minor lymph node abscessation. This
is thought to be the result of partial immunity although this may
also result from infection by <i>S. equi</i> of relatively low
virulence. Classic strangles is a severe infection that can be fatal,
usually because of a variety of complications that occur.</div>
<div align="left">
The main and often fatal complications of strangles
are:</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<ul><div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<li>
<div align="left">
Bastard strangles, which describes the dissemination
of infection to unusual sites other than the lymph nodes draining
the throat. For example, abdominal or lung lymph nodes may develop
abscesses and rupture, sometimes weeks or longer after the infection
seems to have resolved. A brain abscess may rupture causing
sudden death or a retropharyngeal lymph node abscess may burst
in the throat and the pus will be inhaled into the lung. </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="left">
Purpura haemorrhagica, which is an immune-mediated
acute inflammation of peripheral blood vessels that occurs within
4 weeks of strangles, while the animal is convalescing. It results
from the formation of immune complexes between the horse's antibodies
and bacterial components. These immune complexes become trapped
in capillaries where they cause inflammation, visible in the
mucous membranes as pinpoint haemorrhages. These haemorrhages
lead to a widespread severe edema of the head, limbs, and other
parts of the body. Purpura can also be a complication of routine
vaccination. </div>
</li>
</ul>
<div align="left">
Minor, non-fatal complications include: </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<ul><div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<li>
<div align="left">
Post strangles myocarditis (inflammation of
heart muscle), which may follow strangles in a small proportion
of horses. An electrocardiogram (ECG) can determine that a horse
can return to heavy work or to training after an episode of
strangles. </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="left">
Purulent cellulitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous
tissue), which is an unusual occurrence where infection spreads
locally in the subcutaneous tissue to the head. </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="left">
Laryngeal hemiplegia, which involves paralysis
of the throat muscles. It is commonly referred to as "roaring".
The condition may follow abscessation of cervical lymph nodes.
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="left">
Anaemia (low red blood cell count), during the
convalescent period because of immune-mediated lysis of red
blood cells. </div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="left">
Guttural pouch empyaema (filled with pus), which
may be concurrent with classic strangles, or follow in the immediate
convalescent period. The 2 guttural pouches are large mucous
sacs; each is a ventral diverticulum of the Eustachian tube.
They are present only in Equidae and are situated between the
base of the cranium dorsally and the pharynx ventrally<b>.</b>
<sup>(3)</sup> They open into the nasal pharynx and each has
a capacity of about 300 mL. <sup>(4)</sup> Persistent infection
in the guttural pouch may lead to inspissation (drying) of pus
and, in some cases, the formation of a solid, stone-like, concretion
called a chondroid. Animals that have persistent infection of
the guttural pouches become the carriers, the major source of
infection to spark outbreaks in susceptible horses with which
they are mixed.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div align="left">
Apart from the problem of long-term guttural pouch carriers,
discussed below, recovered horses may shed <i>S. equi</i> from
their nose and in their saliva for up to 6 weeks following infection.
Therefore, isolate all horses that have had strangles from susceptible
animals for 6 weeks following infection.</div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="diagnose"></a>Diagnosis and Treatment</h3>
<div align="left">
Diagnosis can be confirmed by culturing pus from the nose,
from abscessated lymph nodes or from the throat of clinically affected
horses. Although <i>S. equi</i> isolates are thought to be genetically
identical, isolates may vary in virulence and atypical isolates
occur, which differ in their sugar tests from typical <i>S. equi</i>.</div>
<div align="left">
There is argument among veterinarians as to whether
or not to treat an animal with strangles with antibiotics. Many
veterinarians think that treatment will impair the development of
immunity and may predispose an animal to prolonged infection and
to bastard strangles. Treatment of a horse in the early stages of
strangles is usually effective and is not associated with untoward
effects. The causative agent is highly susceptible to penicillin
G. If the disease is more advanced, then most veterinarians will
not use antibiotics but rather will recommend nursing care and trying
to hasten the development of abscesses (which can be drained) by
poulticing. Antibiotics may, however, be used if complications arise.</div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="prevent"></a>Prevention of Strangles</h3>
<h4>
Detection of carriers</h4>
<div align="left">
In recent years, work in the United Kingdom has added substantially
to the understanding of the carrier state in strangles. <sup>(5)</sup>
This work has shown that carriers are usually horses that, following
recovery from clinical illness, remain with persistent infection
of the guttural pouches. This infection is associated with persistent,
purulent inflammation in this site or, in some cases, with the presence
of chondroids. These carriers can be detected either by culture
or by detection of <i>S. equi</i> DNA using the polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) test. PCR is a more sensitive test but also is currently
more expensive. The combination of these tests may be even more
reliable, but is expensive.</div>
<div align="left">
Because the organism is adapted to the horse, a system
of control based on detection, isolation and treatment of carriers
could potentially be used to eradicate the organism on a continent-wide
basis. Horse owners and veterinarians have not yet organized to
take advantage of this new understanding. However, vaccination with
a live vaccine may interfere with the detection and eradication
approach to control.</div>
<div align="left">
A series of 3 nasopharyngeal swabs (e.g., swabs introduced
through the nose and collecting material from the back of the throat),
evenly spaced over 2 or 3 weeks, will result in the detection of
about 60% of carriers using isolation and identification of the
organism, or of about 90% of carriers using PCR. For the detection
of carriers, the laboratory should use a selective medium (Columbia
blood agar with nalidixic acid and colistin).</div>
<div align="left">
Investigation of carriers should be done either before
a new animal is introduced into a stable or herd, or at least 30
days following recovery of a horse from strangles. Animals should
be isolated until there have been 3 consecutive negative cultures
and/or PCR reactions.</div>
<div align="left">
If an animal is positive, endoscopic evaluation of
the guttural pouch is recommended, chondroids removed, and guttural
pouches treated by flushing and infusion of 5 million units
of penicillin G in 3% gelatin. In addition, these horses should
be treated with penicillin G intramuscularly for 7 days, isolated
for 30 days, and then retested with the 3 consecutive series of
nasopharyngeal swabs and culture. PCR is not usually recommended
in these animals because it is so sensitive that it may identify
dead bacteria and so give a "positive" reaction. Animals
that remain positive should go through a repeat treatment and culture
cycle.</div>
<div align="left">
This system of identification of carriers by culture
and/or PCR, while not 100% reliable, is more reliable than the usual
recommendation for the control of strangles. These are to isolate
or quarantine new arrivals for 2–3 weeks, look for evidence
of strangles-like upper respiratory tract infection, and carry out
one or more nasal swabs that are used for culture. Your veterinarian
will be able to give you the current laboratory costs per test for
bacteria isolation and for the PCR test. Owners may not be prepared
to take this route to control strangles due to the financial costs.</div>
<h4>
Vaccination</h4>
<div align="left">
Both a killed and a live vaccine are available for the control
of strangles. The only killed vaccine currently available in Canada
is Strepguard<sup>TM</sup> by Intervet. Killed vaccines, in general,
are administered with an initial series of intramuscular injections
followed by an annual booster. There may be adverse reactions at
the injection site (marked pain, even frank abscesses). Some animals
have even developed purpura haemorrhagica following vaccination.
The killed vaccines do not provide complete protection because they
do not result in the local, nasopharyngeal antibodies thought to
be important in protection, but they do reduce the severity of clinical
illness should it occur.</div>
<div align="left">
More recently, a live, attenuated <i>S. equi</i>
vaccine (Pinnacle<sup>TM</sup> I.N. by Fort Dodge) has been introduced
as an intranasal vaccine for the prevention of strangles. The vaccine
is administered twice, at an interval of 1–2 weeks. This approach
to vaccination is intuitively more attractive than a killed, intramuscular
vaccine since it produces the local antibodies necessary for protective
immunity. Because the vaccine is a live but attenuated (using a
low virulence organism) <i>S. equi</i>, take care to avoid contamination
of injections elsewhere in the horse. Concurrent injection of other
vaccines has resulted in <i>S. equi</i> abscesses at these sites,
presumably through inadvertent contamination. Therefore, it is strongly
recommended to not administer other vaccines or injections at the
same time as administering the intranasal vaccine — or to be
very careful about preventing contamination of injection sites.
Other adverse reactions have also been reported. According to the
manufacturer, adverse reactions occur at a frequency of about 5
per 10,000 doses. These include submandibular and pharyngeal lymph
node swellings, with or without abscessation, purpura haemorrhagica,
which may be severe, and even bastard strangles. Since the live
organism may persist in the nose, approaches to control that involve
detection of carriers may not be effective in horses immunized with
this vaccine.</div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="immunity"></a>Immunity</h3>
<div align="left">
After developing strangles, most horses eliminate infection
fairly rapidly (i.e., within 30 days after recovery). Approximately
75% of horses develop a solid enduring immunity to strangles following
recovery from the disease. <sup>(2)</sup> However, individual animals
may remain with infection persistent within the guttural pouch,
and may secrete the organism in nasal exudate or saliva for months
or years. These carriers show no evidence of clinical disease and
are the major source of infection for other horses with which they
are mixed.</div>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="control"></a>Control of Strangles</h3>
<div align="left">
Isolate clinically affected animals or identified carriers
immediately in a quarantine area, and clean and disinfect their
water buckets or feed containers daily. Bedding can be burned or
alternatively composted under a plastic sheet (to prevent spread
by flies). Scrub with water and detergent any areas contaminated
by infected horses, then disinfect by steam cleaning and/or applying
effective disinfectants. Fly control is required to prevent spread
during an outbreak.</div>
<div align="left">
Under optimal conditions, the bacteria can survive
probably 6–8 weeks in the environment. Jorm (1991) has shown
that <i>S. equi</i> survived for 63 days on wood at 2°C and
for 48 days on glass or wood at 20°C. <sup>(6)</sup> The
organism is readily killed by heat (60°C) or disinfectants (particularly
povidone iodine, chlorhexidine). Rest contaminated pasture areas
for 4 weeks, since the natural antibacterial effects of drying and
of ultraviolet light will kill the organism.</div>
<div align="left">
Have quarantine area staff change their coveralls
and boots before leaving the quarantine area, and wash their arms
and hands carefully with chlorhexidine soap.</div>
<div align="left">
Approaches used to control strangles will depend on
the circumstances of the individual horse or horse farm, but all
people involved with horses need to maintain constant vigilance.
These approaches involve a combination of knowledge of the history
of individual animals and their source of origin, general hygiene,
quarantine, and immunization, with appropriate action if an outbreak
occurs. </div>
<div align="left">
Farms with large populations and movement of horses,
particularly of older foals and yearlings, will want to maintain
a routine immunization program of all horses to reduce the incidence
and severity of disease. On these farms, depending on the vaccination
program including the type of vaccine used, all incoming horses
should be isolated for 2 to 3 weeks and, although expensive, a series
of nasal or preferably nasopharyngeal swabs taken during this time
for demonstration of the organism or its DNA. Only then should these
isolated horses join the rest of the group.</div>
<div align="left">
Where a few adult horses are kept together and are
uncommonly mixed with other horses, immunization may not be required
since all immunization carries a slight risk of adverse effects.
Incoming animals should be quarantined for 3 weeks, during which
time nasal swabs should be assessed for the presence of the organism.</div>

One of the first symptoms of Strangles is the snotty nose. Horses also often exhibit a cough and may have elevated temperature.<br />

This is what puss filled lymph nodes look like. If not lanced and drained, it can compromise a horse's ability to swallow and breath. <br />

When Horse Haven receives a call for help from officials in a Tennessee county, we have to sit tight and wait for instructions. Before we get in the truck to meet with the other agencies involved, all documentation must be in order. The law requires it. While we are eager pick up those horses and get them the care and help they so desperately need, we have to obey the law as well. We have to ensure that we do everything right and that all parties involved did what was required by law to ensure that we are building a good, solid case that will stand up in court. Waiting is painful. Anxiety starts to build. What will we find when we get there? What condition will the horses be in? Will we be able to help them recover? In order to get justice for the abused and neglected horses, we have to do what's right. We know that once the "go ahead" call comes, we will be ready to do what is needed to help those that cannot help themselves.<br />

He's the first horse at the gate at dinner time. His appetite is fabulous. He has received his second round of de-wormer and is showing some definite weight gain. His ribs are much less noticeable. He stands patiently for grooming and the condition of his coat has improved. I feel very fortunate to be part of his journey. He is an exceptional little horse that deserves the best of care.<br />

Anybody who has ever had any dealings inside the legal system is well aware of that fact. Between back logged court calendars, a shortage of judges, motions and appeals, it can take weeks, months and even years to resolve a legal matter . Every time Horse Haven is called in by local law enforcement to assist in the seizure of a horse or a group of horses, we help with the understanding that we may be caring for these horses for a long time. The animals are evidence of a crime and it is our responsibility to maintain the evidence.<br />
<br />
As was the case in July of 2012 when we were asked by the Morgan County Sheriff's department to pick up three extremely thin horses in Deer Lodge, Tennessee. The owner of the animals was arrested and charged with animal cruelty.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We did what we always do. We loaded the horses and took them to the University of Tennessee School of Veterinary Medicine to have them checked over by the veterinarians. They were weighed. Blood work and parasite checks were performed. All three showed changes in their blood work that are consistent with malnutrition. We took them to the Horse Haven barn where they started their long road to recovery.<br />
By November all three of them had gained a significant amount of weight and looked like normal horses again.<br />
The owner had refused to surrender the horses after she was arrested, so even though they were now healthy, they were not available for adoption. She was offered a plea agreement by the District Attorney's office, which she refused. The case was handed over to a grand jury who returned a true bill. Finally, last Wednesday, 20 months after the horses were removed, the owner faced a jury of her peers. Seven women and five men took less than an hour to return a guilty verdict. Rose, Nelson and Daisy will be free to find their forever homes as soon as sentencing takes place.<br />
Horse Haven is currently caring for 14 horses that are evidence in 3 different pending court cases in three different counties. In order for justice to be served, we need to provide these animals with the best care possible while the wheels of the justice system turn slowly. We support the District Attorney's offices that are prosecuting these cases with medical records, pictures and other documentation needed. We also testify for the prosecution if warranted. <br />

It's been a blissfully uneventful transition and he is acclimating very well.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was farrier day as well as "first turn out with friends" day.<br />
He was a very good boy for Randy, the farrier. He stood patiently for his trim and his feet are in surprisingly decent condition. He has a small crack in his right front hoof.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCEjORAapWVhaOdhNzj_EKrTjcMjwJvK3uXDb7aF1tMb8s7HyTdEUyv0Hpsyh-0HS4UAHCBJFbjbDdbzYOmM-Aod1uVeJlNsBELGNthKRJdOTNMBf65sVRgckC7WzGgxpTedBAoJD9Ils/s1600/IMG_20140212_101722_875.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCEjORAapWVhaOdhNzj_EKrTjcMjwJvK3uXDb7aF1tMb8s7HyTdEUyv0Hpsyh-0HS4UAHCBJFbjbDdbzYOmM-Aod1uVeJlNsBELGNthKRJdOTNMBf65sVRgckC7WzGgxpTedBAoJD9Ils/s1600/IMG_20140212_101722_875.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Since he obviously hadn't been trimmed in a while and the crack hadn't been treated, he has developed some "seedy toe" in that area. With appropriate treatment and regular hoof care, this should resolve quickly.<br />
<br />
Strut had been turned out in a round pen adjoining the pasture and met this pasture mates over the fence over the last week. Once the farrier was finished with Strut, I turned him out into the pasture by himself. I wanted him to have the opportunity to explore the area before adding other horses. And explore he did, until he came upon the round bale of hay. All exploring stopped as his nose went into the hay. He took a small break from eating to greet Dudley, his pasture mate, but went straight back to contently munching hay.<br />

He's had an increase in his feed ration and we've added soaked alfalfa cubes to his diet. We have also started the de-worming process. Strut is showing a definite increase in energy and I'm looking forward to watching his personality emerge. </div>

Some of the animals that we come in contact with speak to us differently. They pull at our heart strings harder and more persistent than others. And even though we don't need another dog, cat or horse to take care of, we make room. We make room in our homes, barns and wallets. After all, what's one more, right?<br />
Well, it happened to me last week. So this past Tuesday, Strut went home with me. Just for a little while. This is a "foster situation". At least that's what I tell myself.<br />
Some of you may remember Strut. He was removed from horrid living conditions which resulted in the death of his pasture mate. Strut is also very thin but in good spirits . I will feed and care for him. I will get his feet trimmed. He will be groomed and loved and eventually evaluated under saddle. I will post updates about his progress on this blog.<br />
Fostering is not for the faint of heart. In order to make the animal more adoptable, we spent more time with it, which leads to greater attachment which makes it harder to let the animal go when the time for permanent adoption rolls around. But fostering is also very rewarding. Seeing the animal restored to health and happiness and in a loving home is a great joy. But sometimes we can't let go. We lovingly refer to that situation as a "failed foster" which equals a successful adoption. Either way, the horse wins. <br />

Today marks the start of the "Year of the Horse" in the Chinese calender. According to experts, this will be a fast moving year with unexpected adventure and romance. It will be a great year for travel. A year high in energy and productivity. Sounds great!<br />
People born in "horse years" are said to have great communication skills, are clever, kind to others, cheerful, perceptive and stubborn. Human "horses" are frank and dislike hidden agendas. I recognize most of these as traits found in our animal equine friends. Since horses live in the moment, they also have an enormous ability to forgive and move on. We see this in the horses here at Horse Haven every day. Most of the horses that come here have endured horrid conditions and often times less than kind treatment from humans. But instead of holding a grudge and becoming bitter, they try very hard to trust and accept love and kindness.<br />
We can learn a lot from the horse.

The holidays are over, let spring and fun times with the horses begin! Unfortunately we'll have to endure a few more weeks of cold and muddy weather. Hopefully we will make it to spring without any more single digit temperatures or frozen water pipes.<br />
Meanwhile, back at the barn, Twinkie our mascot, has sprouted plenty of facial hair. <br />

As the number on the calendar changes, we reflect back on the year past. And what a year it has been here at Horse Haven! The arrival of Sylvester and Tweedy this morning brings the total number of horses we cared for in 2013 to 117. It's a big number but it only tells part of the story. 117 horses means 117 stories of neglect and subsequent rescue, 117 nickers at feeding time, 117 mouths munching hay and enjoying turnout in our pastures. It also means 117 Coggins tests drawn, 117 vaccinations and de-wormers administered, 117 farrier appointments. But all the work and all the expenses are forgotten when we see horses like Sam, much loved by Clare, his person.<br />

Sam was one of 20 horses rescued in a neighboring county 18 months ago. Clare adopted him a little over a year ago. The pair is working on their jumping and trail challenge skills. It's stories like this that keep us going, month after month, year after year. And it's your financial support that enables us to help horses in need with much needed care. You make it possible for horses like Sam to find their happy ending. Your donation of $10, $20 of $50 can make a big difference.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year! May it bring many happy endings to the horses at Horse Haven! <br />

You helped us get the word out about Horse Haven of Tennessee and our mission of helping horses in need. And a special "Thank you" to those of you who donated. You help us keep horses, ponies and donkeys fed whiled they await their forever homes. You help pay for vaccinations, de-worming and farrier care.You help pay for hay and feed. We couldn't do it without you. Horse Haven does not receive any local, state or federal funding. And without our generous supporters, we wouldn't be able to save lives. Thank you!<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Did you know
that it is a bad idea to deworm a wormy horse with a full dose of heavy duty
dewormer? By killing all the parasites at one time, you may cause a big ball of
dead worms that can obstruct the horse’s intestine. When horses arrive at Horse
Haven, we treat parasites carefully by administering a couple of half doses
over two days before giving a full dose of a different class of dewormer
several days later. This way the worms die off in stages and not all at once.
This also is less stressful on a horse that is already stressed by neglect. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Won’t you
help us rid needy horses of parasites by donating $20 or $30 towards our
“Deworming” fund? Twinkie, the Horse Haven mascot, says “Thank you” for keeping
his new friends worm free.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lead ropes
are such a basic tool, yet so very important when handling horses. With 51
horses currently in the care of Horse Haven, we have a lot of lead ropes.
However, when we get called on a large case confiscation, our stash quickly gets
depleted. We may be picking up 5, 10 or even 30 horses and have to come up with
halters and leads for each on short notice. Won’t you help us help horses in
need by donating $5, $10 or $20 towards the purchase of new lead ropes with
regular snaps? Bull snaps are not a good option when handling horses without a
history. Dora, who is patiently awaiting adoption, appreciates your help!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Horse Haven
is currently located on leased property in West Knoxville. We are so very
grateful for the free lease on this wonderful facility but it limits us on
installing certain necessities that would make life easier. Such as water hook
ups in every turn out area. Instead we use hoses. 2000 feet of hose, enough to
reach every paddock and water trough on the property. Won’t you please help us
keep our water troughs full by donating $20 or $30 dollars towards updating
some of our hoses? Horses like Sapphire awaiting her forever home will
appreciate your help.</span></div>
