Time to come back in during the day and turnout at night. His little muzzle got pink today, I am so sorry my friend. Stetson is a fantastic little pony who's still available for adoption. He is a 3 year old gelding. For obvious reason, he absolutely must be stalled during the day, I've dealt with cancer in my own Cremello from being in the sun and I will do everything in my power to keep that from happening to Stetson.
He pastures with anyone (only at night!!), can be hard to catch at times but is perfect once you have him haltered. Leads, loads, ties, stands for the farrier, he is a pony, 13 ish hands, he won't get any bigger. He is up to date on everything and easy to be around He is an easy keeper, he did lose a few pounds when we had some really rough hay, typically fat on hay or pasture. Very sweet and kind guy.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has provided an important update on New World Screwworm which has been detected in a bovine in Zavala County, Texas. Read the full press release here: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/usda-confirms-presence-new-world-screwworm-united-states
General information about New World Screwworm (NWS) can be found in the text below and in the attached infographic.
The adult screwworm fly is about the size of a common housefly (or slightly larger), with orange eyes, a metallic blue or green body, and three dark stripes along its back. It gets its name from the behavior of its larvae (maggots) as they burrow (screw) into the wound, feeding as they go. The maggots (larvae) cause extensive damage by tearing at the hosts’ tissue with sharp mouth hooks. The wound can quickly become enlarged and deeper as more maggots hatch and feed on living tissue.
Because they feed on live flesh, NWS maggots may burrow deep into wounds or openings, while other species of maggots may appear around the outer surface of the wound. In addition, even the smallest wounds have the potential to attract flies, so it is imperative that you keep a close eye on your animals for any signs of wounds.
Lastly, NWS infestations are a reportable disease! Immediately report any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations to a local accredited veterinarian, your State Animal Health Official, or a USDA veterinarian.

She's old, she's happy, and the sun is shining bright. At her age, it's okay to sunbathe without judgment from any of us.

My sweet old girl was in the barn this morning while I brushed her out before loading on the trailer. Baby Brumble knickered and my girl was so concerned by his baby voice. She's been a mama in her past life and her mama heart took over.
Her raised eyebrow caught as his little voice echoed through the barn.
