Hello Sampson followers! (and those of you yet to come)

We are pleased to announce that Sampson is doing well post surgery. Sampson, our star equine facilitator,   came down with a major sinus infection as a result of a complication from a tooth removal. He was taken to the San Luis Rey Equine Hospital, an interesting task for a 2200 pound being! Sampson was an angel and cooperated well with Dr. Cannon and Dr. Richardson. The doctors performed a surgical procedure on Sampson’s face in order to clean out the infection and install a drain and Sampson was able to come home the same day of the procedure. Unfortunately, the drain installed was not doing the trick, and Sampson had to be taken back to the vet for a little extra help. Again, Dr. Richardson and Dr. Cannon jumped into action to solve the problem and were able to get his healing moving in the right direction. After a week of dealing with the infection and vet visits, Sampson is feeling much better and recuperating well!
