An UPDATE on our August Bucket Fund mare, Luna!






Luna, our August Bucket Fund, 18 – 20 year-old Friesian mare, is still with us – and doing relatively well!   You can read her original story here.

At the moment, our girl has a bad case of mastitis – but luckily, she lives with her vet, so all issues are dealt with immediately.  She is strong enough now to go for walks.  Mostly, she eats, sleeps in her huge stall, and does her best to regain herself to what she once was…

Dr. Shelton is very grateful for all of the help!  She has been boosted and uplifted by this support ‘out of nowhere’.  (I’m smiling because the Horse and Man Group is everywhere!)

So pretty, even with mush mouth after her bucket…

Ouch. The only think they can think that would cause this is a potential, odd weed in her hay that might have stimulated milk production… no idea really.

WE NEED $165 TO MEET OUR GOAL FOR LUNA – can we do that for her?

She still needs to be strong enough to recover from the mastitis, have her teeth done and stand for Xrays to figure out what is happening with her likely a fused pastern on that strange rear – probably DSLD.

All donations are 100% tax deductible!  Thank you for helping this beautiful girl – become beautiful again!  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Pretty girl.

She is strong enough for short, sunset walks…

A NOTE ABOUT LUNA FROM DR. SHELTON…

So far holding steady. Starting to get a little bit of senior feed twice a day, she’s eating more and more alfalfa. And even has a hanging net now. (As far as the mastitis) The current theory is maybe a weed in hay that stimulated her milk production. We plan to start her cushings treatments slowly soon. She has gained some weight ??????. And is just the sweetest thing ever.

THANK YOU! – below is another way to help Luna!

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!! CUPCAKES OR YUMMY CHOCOLATE CAKE, ANYONE?! JOIN ME! Let’s CELEBRATE and help August Bucket Fund horse, Luna, at the same time!






In June, when Corona virus was strong and California was totally shut down (as it is again now), I had a birthday!  Usually, on my birthday, I celebrate with donor cake and lovely items of cheer for the Bucket Fund.  But this year, for some reason, I just felt like people might not have been in the mood to play along and donate for a Bucket Fund horse.

Today, I think it is time to go on living and get back to as normal as possible.

So, I thought we could help Luna by celebrating my birthday (late)!
