Our sweet and tall Belgian draft, Mae, was worked most of her life. She pulled heavy loads and by the time she came to us at 20 years old she was pretty worn out. She was underweight, full of burrs, bad hooves and long teeth. We weren’t sure she would make it a year, but with God’s help she pulled through.
She is Russell’s bestie, our lead mare, beautiful , strong and the biggest love bug you’ll meet! She does have some pretty severe joint issues and is on daily pills for the rest of her life. She eats a ton of Triple Crown Senior mash, has regular hoof trimmings, teeth floating, wormers and vet visits. She is definitely our largest resident as well as our most expensive around here…but she is worth it!
