MISHAP ON THE FARM | WE SAVED HER LIFE!

[@slaphappyKat]

Penny 66 has got to be one of the most beautiful palominos I've ever seen. Whoever she ends up with will be the envy of their town!

[@haileyfields5190]

I like Cherry Twist 66. It's like saying poetry every time you say her name. A special name for a special girl.

[@nancyotero774]

😢Thank you😢We rescued an American Standardbred, Pretty Pearl, and had her until she was 30 yrs, 4 mo. She was so ornery at first and turned into a loving, gentle family member.🙏 for Cherry! She is a beautiful big bowl of Cherry. Lol ❤️

[@348Tobico]

WWow is Cherry a sweetheart! And she nickered to you to say "Thanks for everything including saving my life. I'll do my very best for you folks because you deserve all."

[@loripeaceandlove6391]

Wow! PraiseGod! Your transporter friend called you because you truly saved her life. PeaceAndLove Lori

[@dorothybranch1483]

What happened to cherry twist those scratches on her side was that because of the whip that the Jockey use

[@denisetimpani8065]

Allen, I remember watching a race horse back in the day Big Red was a very beautiful horse. If not big red she needs a strong beautiful name. May i also add you have a big heart ❤ you save her life. God Bless

[@AlpacaMade]

Cherry Twist. When you brought her to the farm. I thought What a sassy name, I like it👍

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

😍

[@AussieFIag]

Any day an animals life is saved is a good day. I'm sure she will repay your kindness 10 fold.

[@August84118]

I like Cherry Twist. It has a little sass to it . She’s a sweet girl, with a lot of personality. I think the name suits her perfectly. God bless for the rescue!

[@franciegross1159]

This Lady is a real beauty. I can tell by the excitement in your voice how happy you are to have her join your family. Naming someone... whether a cat, horse, kid, or a goldfish, is always a crap shoot, but if she were mine, I’d call her Cherry T.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

That’s what we named her!!

[@tanyajenkins919]

U are a blessing to many unfortunate horses . It's a good feeling when one can help animal's too . Continue help cherry twist it's so nice . My late husband got a mare from on the Navajo rez she was super skinny and very pregnant 11 months + near death . We didn't think she could live through the birth of her foal . Had the vet out he done what he could and told us what to get to help her. To our surprise she gave birth one night to a very weak foal but after a few days he got stronger . With all the supplements and good food Mrs T had gained about 50 pounds before his birth I think that's why he lived . But they both grew strong together . My husband love that mare road her every day after she got to safe weight . She was a special girl . Got lil stud colt cut and we got him a good home . He was a great looking bay . When my husband passed I got the mare a good home it was tough I just couldn't keep her hope she's still living her best life .

[@iilastarfyr1198]

Wowee! She's a real beaut that girl Miss Cherry Twist. So wonderful you saved this lovely lady!

[@TerryReedMiss]

Like that tall kiddo. He's got a gentle hand with horses.

[@laineyking3355]

Cant wait to see her filled out with a full length mane!! So glad u saved her, not fair to through a life away as trash, especially after earning a good life! Thx for saving her! Bless your hearts!!!

[@haroldjames9433]

Very warm hearted you guys are for taking in the mare. Great babies be coming from her 👍.

[@kkeenan536]

Running cold water on that a couple times a day would speed healing

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

good idea. we have done that before and it really helps for sure!

[@dorothymerrell6091]

Cherry Twist is a real beauty. Hopefully you’ll get some nice foals out of her.

[@crafthappytammy5164]

I like the name Second Chance because she was a racing horse and you gave her a second chance at life. She is BEAUTIFUL! Just like your family

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Thanks so much

[@helencline5768]

I ADMIRE YOU FOR SAVING HER, she’S BEAUTIFUL . Your so kind, LOVE YOURHORSES GOD BLESS.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

thank you!

[@kathleenmann7311]

My sister and I rescued a few Thoroughbreds. They're great fun to retrain, and make nice riding horses 😊. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us . 👍

[@terriwutzke2571]

I like the name Cherry for her. She’s as pretty as a bowl of cherries

[@nancyreed3815]

Twister would be my choice for this lucky lady.

[@trellenrussey8432]

Definitely Cherry! Bet she has pretty foals!

[@roxannegray2796]

She's a beautiful horse and I know you guys will take good care of her.

[@DonnaRHall]

Definitely. CHERRY....

[@cathybenson5119]

Me too. Cherry is a nice name. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@judymorton5991]

I can't wait to see you guys train her to be a pleasure horse.

[@janisoconnor6881]

I think twist is beautiful. And God bless you for saving her.

[@sassy7173]

Thoroughbred is lookin good..Her ribs were much more prominent when she arrived so she's definitely putting some weight on..great job!

[@donnabarg3315]

She is Beautiful. And racing is hard on them. She will have a better life on the farm. Cherry is a good name for her.

[@beverlywood8141]

This new girl is a beautiful horse. I’m glad to see she’s found a great new home! So a new name for a pretty girl should be “Cherry Tee”... Sweet as candy! 🥰 God Bless her in her new life! ~Betterbie 🐣

[@janwagner7818]

One beautiful horse❤enjoyed-God Bless-glad your keeping her❤

[@dolphinsblu]

I'd pick one name, it's always harder to remember more than one... Cherry is as sweet as she seems to be. Horses can also sense when they are no longer wanted/needed and for them not to wait 6 months for her to be ok is a huge bonus for you on the farm. She knows you saved her life and the fact that she's eating and comes right up to you, she's grateful for her new life and new family.

[@nanettetaylor4725]

What a beautiful mare, Cherry is a lovely name for her.

[@elizabethbradley7621]

She is so beautiful. I used to ride quarter horses. I love them all. You did a wonderful job getting her.

[@joanrath126]

So glad you saved this beautiful animal

[@sherrieanorman2816]

Penny is such a BEAUTIFUL horse!

[@blackwolf2951]

Beautiful mare...Im amazed that a small quarter horse can do the things they do athleticly

[@willisdockery3972]

Neat horse we had HAMMER a race horse and loved him finally gave to farm that rented horses to ride on beach.

[@sherriheikkila671]

She's a Beauty and tall. Can't wait for the off springs.

[@joewelch4178]

Charity would be my pick; just for her call up name. She is a lucky one to be with a horse loving family.

[@lynettedundon1410]

Can't wait to see her babies! Beet pulp will surely put weight on a horse. We used it to supplement our aged horses that were dropping weight .( You soak it with water and it expands). It's cheap and effective.

[@georgiagonzales3769]

Any time you can save a horse and give them a good home, that's sure a good thing. 🙏🙌👍

[@signecasebeer3380]

She a beauty for sure, I am happy you guys saved, her she will make beautiful babies.

[@secretariatgirl4249]

She's so skinny.. Her haunches! I'm so glad she was rescued! I like the name as just TWIST!

[@darlenehildebrand7039]

She has a kind eye and well put together. Hopefully will be a great producer. Happy you saved her)

[@susantreibs6593]

I think cherry 66 sounds like a good name for her offspring. Cherry Twist sounds like a nice name for her. She is a nice horse.

[@triciaacevedo3582]

That’s what I was thinking too!

[@Pambo101]

Since so many of us like the name Cherry I agree with Nena Elliot and think you should call her Cher! An elegant name for an elegant horse. To bad about her leg, but looks like it’s not her first injury, maybe it’s just the way the camera picks up her coat. I think you already name her first filly! So sweet! Can’t wait to see her filled out and Blake upon her. Everything’s new to her , but if wild horses settle down on your ranch I’m sure she’ll love her new home life!

[@charlottecolloff-hinde7657]

Thank goodness you are around to rescue such a beautiful horse. When considering how to feed a TB there are the usual factors of how she'll be kept, age, size, work et cetera but the 'usual' way to feed a racehorse is something that you may want to avoid. They're fed to produce short bursts of extreme speed. The work you will require of her is closer to that of a longer distance runner. I found that with a highly strung native pony grains were the worst way to go. Needing calories for warmth in winter and for a more sustained type of work I found that vegetable oil was a really useful feed. It takes time to introduce it to the diet in any useful quantity but it is unique because it does not add bulk to the ration whilst adding lots of slow release energy. Ideal for keeping warm in winter and for work in summer without silliness. A 14hh British Native pony (a thrifty keeper) had about a quarter pint of vegetable oil every morning and evening feed all through the Winter with cooked extruded barley rings, soaked sugar beet and balancer. Worked under saddle, lunged or driven every day. Easy to scale up the amounts to help Cherry Twist to put weight on without risking laminitis or silly behaviour and to keep her from losing weight keeping warm in winter. Hope this helps 😁.

You just gave the name for her foal. Twister should be her name for the farm door nick name. I've rehabed a AQHA off the track before. Wet saddle blankets and grooming are the best ways for me. Have a blessed day and thank you for these blogs. I look forward to them.

She is very pretty! Happy Cherry Twist was saved! She will be a great addition to your farm. Am looking forward to seeing her on your videos. She definatly needs the groceries as they keep them thin when racing. Blessing to EACH!!!

She will probably have nice babies. Cherry is a sweet name for a sweet horse. You can raise barrel horses. Barrel ponies are a high demand. Glad she has a good home with you.❤

[@LynneDemonQueen1]

I do hope Miss Cherry is a permanent resident on the farm. She probably has not been out of a box stall most of her life except to hit the track. She's not used to an outside pen. I'd be doing water therapy on that leg at least twice a day and put some cut n heal or an antibiotic ointment on the cuts. I bet between 66 and her, them babies would be awesome barrel horse prospects :0)

She is a beautiful horse and you should call her Cherry. I'm so sorry her leg is swollen and pray for her complete recovery.

Jumping is not natural for horses. The 1000 lb animal, in the wild, runs from preditors, to save its life, as it's a prey animal..but they don't go looking to ruin their knees, joints, tendons, etc, by JUMPING repeatedly, over stuff.
