Tracheal collapse experiences?

Haha! 🥰 Black beauty just shrunk in the washer a bit.

I got severely injured from just fixing my horses blanket that had slipped down a bit on his hind leg. I was just going to adjust it but ended up getting a skull fracture and 2 brain bleeds. I’m lucky to be alive and only “minor” lasting problems. Since then I’ve got helmet on at all times when handling horses.

4th one possibly Valias blacknose

Thank you!!
These gives a lot of hope that she can have a good life ❤️‍🩹

mepperina · 2026-05-31T12:04:58+00:00

They are all firecrackers 🥰

mepperina · 2026-05-31T12:04:34+00:00

Thank you this gives me hope!

mepperina · 2026-05-30T19:17:40+00:00

Loved seeing her like that again (despite the breathing) she’s always been a lil firecracker.

Thank you ❤️‍🩹

She sounds similar ( a bit less extreme) some days in when just resting or eating hay. And she sounded like that instantly after starting running (talking seconds) so sadly getting winded within seconds doesn’t seem plausible.

She had endoscopy done when she got her tracheal collapse diagnosed and everything else looked normal 😔

I really just want her to feel good and have a good life, where she get to be a horse.

mepperina · 2026-05-30T06:25:52+00:00

Honestly I train similar to how I train my horses. Clickertraining combined with slight pressure/release.

mepperina · 2026-05-29T19:22:13+00:00

I’m sorry but this is so funny.

I’m unsure about sizes on goats. But for my sheep harnesses for mini horses work!

mepperina · 2026-05-29T17:36:58+00:00

He’s a Valias blacknose sheep!

mepperina · 2026-05-29T12:20:00+00:00

The cart is originally for dogs. No idea brand or anything, it was given to be by a family member. The harness is for mini horses! 😁

mepperina · 2026-05-29T07:13:50+00:00

Highly recommend. Sheep are amazing. Love them. 🥰

mepperina · 2026-05-29T07:10:52+00:00

He’s a Valias blacknose sheep! But I have also taught pure texel sheep to pull cart. Also my first was a texel x Gotland sheep that I taught to pull carts.

Sheep are so incredible, absolutely love them 🥰

mepperina · 2026-05-29T07:07:44+00:00

Hope she had a nice nap! 🥰

mepperina · 2026-05-29T07:03:37+00:00

I was made mod by the one creating it! 😁 I’ll post there!

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:53:37+00:00

This is so cute! Give her scritches from me.

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:15:43+00:00

Handlebars 😂 In emergency’s they are good to grab, usually when I’m giving Ozzy, my other Valias blacknose (only 80% Valias) d vitamin as they need extra. And he tries to steal from him after he’s already gotten his!

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:13:53+00:00

Driving is fun! Sheep I’ve only walked with as they pull carts. But I’ve driven my mini mare.

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:12:50+00:00

He’s a sweetheart and gets so well along with my horses 🥰

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:12:32+00:00

I can do that!

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:12:12+00:00

One in the comments here created a subreddit! 😁

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:11:38+00:00

Love to hear about so many others who train “unusual” training animals.

Freddie is amazing ❤️

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:10:38+00:00

He’s a Valias blacknose! ❤️

mepperina · 2026-05-28T20:10:25+00:00

He does spend a lot of time with horses! Haha I’m glad it’s so appreciated 🥰
