There is a link at the bottom of the marestare pages to video and photos. I have placed two very short clips of Hope on there running. We got to take her out yesterday and today and she is a pistol. She still tires out easy, but she's only a week old and she's only allowed out once a day. She has a lot of muscle to build. She's eating from a pan and is nibbling on foalac pellets. We're hoping to bring her home in a week if she continues to remain stable. Gabby is back in isolation. She had one fecal culture come back "suspect" for solmonella, so they put her back in isolation. She's getting depressed from being their so long and Dr. Hart really wants us to take her home to finish her treatment. She feels that after a horse has been isolated for so long, they start to get depressed and give up. So, we're very anxious for these next two stool samples (one came in negative today) to come back negative. Then we'll bring her home on Friday - yeah!!! She'll have to be isolated for 30 days (as will Hope) but she'll be in familiar surroundings with smells and noises that she knows!!! Thank you so much for all your prayers. We'll continue to keep you updated. Enjoy the videos..... marestare.com/video.htm |

Oh Heather and Shannon...that video has just made my day/night or whatever it is. Hope is just so adorable. What a fine lil Filly!!!! I am sitting here with Cacky and I have chills and lil bit of teary eyes and I do believe he is smiling just about as big as he can. That lil Filly sure is such a lucky one to have you guys.
We are saddened to hear about Gabby...but we do pray that all will go alright with the testing and in two days Gabby will be heading home to South Carolina!!!
Love to you all!
Connie and Cacky

These were just so short and sweet!! I can understand Gabby becoming depressed because these videos sure lightened up my day. After all the worry and praying this is the outcome. Gabby will pull thru and continue to recover but will be more comfortable at home for sure. Hope is obvious very much full of herself and has the attitude needed to survive!! She will be a much appreciated and loved addition to MRF!! Mini Dude Ranch has a new addition!!

I'm downloading the videos now ... can hardly wait to see them! Thanks so much for providing them.
I'm sorry Gabby is having problems again, but thankful that it looks like she might have overcome the salmonella, too.
I noticed you said Hope was drinking from a pan and eating FoalLac pellets! I'm doing a happy dance for you!!!!! That will make it SO much eaasier on you than if you would have to bottle feed her. Yahoo!!!!!!!
My sincere hopes and prayers that you will be bringing them both home Friday. I know that would be a huge load off your mind .. no matter how good the care in the hospital, knowing they are well enough that you can do everything the vets could do, and being able to see them all day every day ... nothing better!
Ah, the first video just finished downloading, and I watched it. Precious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is so gorgeous, and looks full of spunk. I loved the sounds of laughter, too ... good to hear joy in your voices after the strain you've been through.

Is there a chance when both are home they will be reintroduced to each other in there familiar enviroment?? Also are you going to be keeping Hope she truly is a miracle baby!!! Yes, as a matter of fact, we are hoping to keep them quarantined near each other. I'm hoping that they'll become close friends as Gabby has never really buddied up with any of the other horses and we were so hoping that she'd have a filly we could keep that would be her friend for life. As it turns out, yes, we will be keeping Hope, and we're hoping that they'll become close. |

I hope Gabby and Hope will bond! Maybe as long as Hope doesn't try to nurse, Gabby will not be aggresive toward her.
I watched both Hope videos, as well as the Pepsi & Pippin one ... they're great!! Thanks again.
