Essential horse care tips for keeping animals safe during wildfire season and summer heat means having your "go" bags packed for both you and your animals. Practice trailering out before the emergency evacuation. Don't train or work your horses during the heat of the day, aim for an earlier or later start. Make sure your animals have protection from sun by providing shade and plenty of access to fresh water. And most importantly, make sure your animals are protected from flies. If you have been looking for something that really works, brought to you not by a big toxic chemical company or worse, some no name wanna be influencer peddling their natural concoction, but an actual licensed vet and horse rescuer that provided tons of free education to help horse lovers, then you are definitely going to want to buy my Shoo Fly and Wound Care spray, developed right here, at the ResqRanch.

Today I am actually grateful for my own ShooFly spray. We are using it everyday and it is a life saver for the animals. It's the best thing I have ever used in my entire life for flies on my horses and it works so well, I will never be without it again. And I developed it, how cool is that?!
Today I am grateful all of the animals are happy and healthy this morning, and that it's Sunday, and I decided to let them have a little time out on the field although it was highly discouraged by my pasture management advisors.
I am grateful for coffee, oat milk creamer, and toast. (Even though I probably eat too much bread).
Today I am grateful I had a quiet, and enjoyable 4th of July evening at the local dog park watching the dogs play, and sort of bonding with a few other folks in the neighborhood who also thought just being with their dogs was the best place to be for the holiday.
I am grateful for my children, for although they are not home because they both went and spent the night with friends, I know I can trust their decisions, and that they missed me, and will be happy to come back home this morning. I am blessed.
What about you, Animal Loving Angel?
What are you blessed with, today?
All my love to you & your animals,
