On a cold and snowy morning we awoke with to a ground covered in frozen snow and a gently resting 9 month old filly curled up so quietly that we hated to wake her.  t was time to feed and as we saw she did not get up, we went to find out why. Dawn was helped to rise and we anxiously called the vet to see what the trouble was. Babies have so many interesting events and Dawn was unique in many ways outside of her truly beautiful dark chestnut coloring with flaxen mane and tail. She was a filly that turned heads and from her carriage you could see there were great things in store for her as she came into her own. Our vet arrived to find a filly that was not doing much at all and who had vitals that were dead on for being fine, however, we knew that her quiet manner indicated much more than a bad day.  She simply wasn't doing anything at all. To be sure we gave her fluids and antibiotics and were mortally afraid when she suddenly and quietly just went down. There were no signs of colic, no signs of distress in her breathing, and nothing to indicate why she simply was shutting down.

Of course all emergencies happen on weekends which mean blood tests will not be read until Monday or Tuesday to indicate any other course of treatment and we were left to keep her comfortable as the only real option while we waited to see what could possibly be wrong. Within 2 hours her breathing suddenly became labored and she was uncomfortable so we made the decision to call in a specialist who arrived very quickly to determine what if anything could be done. 

The very minutes that went by at that point showed marked worsening of her condition as she labored and would not respond to any stimuli at all. Very simply put, we had a filly who was in great health, in a very nice pasture, and with no issues that could be seen by our two vets and were at a loss as to what to do. There is nothing quite so heart wrenching as watcing the young suffer without any options as and our vet had to deliver the hard truth that she had to be put down as by this point it was very obvious by days end she would be gone and was suffering.

What could it be? We wanted answers and had a full autopsy done to see what if anything we could have done, what could be wrong, and if our other horses were in jeopardy. Blood Tests, Visual Autopsy, and Brain Tissue tests were reviewed by professionals. All tests and visual review found nothing out of order other than an increased number of white blood cells in the intestines indicating: osinophilic Enteritis. Sections of intestine exhibit an increased prominence of eosinophils beyond anticipated normal throughout the subucosa. This generally is found in older horses and the white blood cells create a ring around the intestines causing a blockage and lesions resulting in surgery as the only option.  Most cases are shown with symptoms of colic and are a result of some trauma or poisoning

Introducing a beautiful new chestnut filly with flaxen mane and tail by Armed and Dangerous and our mare The Skywatch Girl born June 16th.

This little filly is walking and beautiful with her head held high and a nice overstride as you see in her lead photo. She is a beautiful chestnut with a perfectly balanced blaze and white flaxen tail with her mane that color that always turns flaxen as well, however, her attitude is what you first notice.  She was imprinted upon birth and will let you handle her but is careful about it as you will note in the photo where she is peeking out from behind her dam's flaxen mane. She is inquisitive and was born walking the true Tennessee Walking Horse gait. She has been registered by the TWHBEA and entered in the TWHBEA Futurity as well with fees paid. Look at her videos and fall in love with this exceptional walking horse filly. This filly is being offered for sale with all paperwork in order and sound.  See her for yourself.
