LCR Hosts Open House

Last Chance Ranch Hosted an Open House on September 16th and while it started quite soggy and wet; it ended up a shining success! Not only did the sunhine appear but the volunteers again did a wonderful job at making the entire day come off without a hitch. Check out their website :http://www.lastchanceranch.org/index.html

It was a day filled with educational seminars, pony rides, great food, a tack sale and so much more.

Seminars and speakers were organized for the entire day and setup to cover a variety of horse topics. These included: Emergencies, When do I call the Vet. The big gentle giant of a draft, Ansylow, in the first photo with Lori and Jacki was the dear who helped conduct this session.

The art of Equine Massage was a wonderful topic that helped the volunteers and visitors learn about pressure points, how to tell when the horse's back is sore, and so many other points of interest that opened up the visitors and participants to what effect these techniques provide for the benefit of the horse.

There were childrens games, face painting, balloons and so much for the entire family to enjoy. Watch their calendar of events for their up and coming scheduled event.

Next year will you be there - check it out for yourselves. It is a wonderful environment for the horses and a way for people to do pitch in help and do so much good.



LCR Hosts Pet First Aid Seminar


Last Chance Equine Rescue held a Pet First Aid Training Seminar on September 9th for 20 volunteers. The training site was graciously provided by the Richlandtown Fire Company. It was a busy day for all but a lot of fun learning.

Tia had a great time helping everyone learn how to take vital signs. Below she shows us what a great demo dog she is!! - showing off for everyone in class, and loving all the attention.
