The Holidays are here at Sky Ranch Sanctuary! We’d like to share with you one of our many happy events over the past few months.
We were lucky that Dr. Greg Ugarte, a veterinarian who specializes in acupuncture for horses, was coming up our way from his place in Southern California. He examined Chloe (our newest arrival) and gave her acupressure and acupuncture treatments. She stood quietly and seemed to relax into it.
Chloe arrived at Sky Ranch extremely underweight and had been confined to a small pen infested with flies.
Dr. Ugarte said that in addition to needing more pounds, Chloe has some issues with her liver and recommended adding milk thistle powder, dandelion root powder and aloe vera juice to her diet to help with detoxification.
After the treatment, Chloe was able to move more freely in the pasture and was able to lower her head more comfortably to eat. Clearly it was a positive result for her and her well being. She has gained over 75 pounds since coming to Sky Ranch in July, and we’re working on adding more!
It was a good visit and we look forward to the next one!
The new year is on its way! Looking back on this past year brings up feelings of sadness as we lost horses to age related illnesses. But new horses arrived, and they lifted our spirits. We look forward to 2024 and doing all we can for the wonderful creatures who call Sky Ranch their home.
Happy Holidays and thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
