And then...that was it...⁉️​ Eviction - When dreams burst🥺​

Summary

Vanessa explains why her dream of keeping her rescued Noriker draft horse, Dandelo, at home fell apart—and how she eventually found a new arrangement.

After preparing her farm for horses, she brought in Mukall, a Belgian draft horse entrusted to her care as a companion for Dandelo. Vanessa says Mukall’s owners did not tell her about a serious skin condition beneath the long hair on her lower legs or adequately explain her other health and behavior issues.

When Mukall became severely lame, Vanessa contacted the owners but says they did not respond. She called equine veterinarians instead. They treated Mukall and shaved the hair from her legs, revealing open, infected areas of skin. Vanessa says she paid the veterinary bills herself.

A horse trainer later warned Vanessa that Mukall’s aggression could seriously injure or kill Dandelo. After a dangerous incident over hay, Vanessa separated the horses and arranged for both to leave the following day: Dandelo returned to his former stable, while Mukall went to a stable with experienced trainers and larger horses.

Although Vanessa initially hoped to find another companion horse, she decided to bring Dandelo home and introduce him to Lenci, a Haflinger. She says the two horses get along well and that Mukall is also now in a suitable home.

Vanessa reflects that her bond with a horse develops through everyday care, not just riding. She also describes a horse lowering its head near a person as a sign of trust and says changes in the skin above the eyes can indicate distress. These are her observations.

As winter approaches, Vanessa shows a muddy paddock and says she plans to lay paddock plates directly on the mud to make the area easier to manage and better for the horses’ hooves. She plans to cover the installation in a separate video.

She says she is still managing horse-related expenses, including feed and hoof and skin care, and mentions that viewers can support her through donations, her wish list, or engagement with her videos.
