Does My New Horse Have A Coggins?
Friday, November 16 2012
When people finally commit to the adoption process, contracts have been signed, adoption fees have been paid – the next question is “Does the horse have a coggins?” and frequently adopters seem surprised that not only do they come with a current coggins and health certificate but they are also up to date on vaccinations and de-worming. A horse is dependent upon us, it’s caretakers to make the right decisions to keep them safe and in good health

Wednesday, November 07 2012
Introducing 2 year old, 15.2 1/2hh Thoroughbred filly “French Cotton” who’s now available for adoption from our Marysville, Ohio facility! This young mare has really shown us what she is made of considering her first week of work was in an indoor arena during the 50 mph winds of last week’s hurricane.

Following The Hurricane, There Was Western Ice!
Monday, November 05 2012
So it’s been a few days since my last post mainly due to the fact that Hurricane Sandy affected us rather badly for several days here in Virginia Beach. I am however pleased to report that all the horses stayed safe and warm and although had to spend a few days confined to their stalls, no major incidents occurred and the barn stayed watertight.

Today’s Champions Running for Yesterday’s Stars!
Thursday, November 01 2012
Written by Anna Ford (Thoroughbred Program Director) One of the hardest things about the day to day happenings at New Vocations is raising funds to run the program. Each year our goal is to raise more funds then the year before so we can in turn increase the number of horses helped. It hasn’t been easy but somehow we have managed to reach that goal year after year. While I would much rather be at the barn working with the horses, I find myself on the road every other week soliciting new donors and meeting with our current donors. We have several fundraisers that I encourage people to support throughout the year but one of my favorites is the New Vocations Breeders’ Cup Pledge.
