Rabies vaccines at Redwings!

Carrington Career College and Dr. Heather Baker teamed up with the Redwings Horse Sanctuary staff to administer Rabies vaccines to our horses.

You may wonder why? Horses can get Rabies from wandering wildlife. Redwings is in a remote area that has wild animals that pass through. We have Coyote, Skunks, Racoons, Badgers, Bats, Mountain Lions among the many animals that can carry this disease. Since humans can get Rabies from animals, we want to protect our staff and volunteers from this deadly disease.

This collaboration with Carrington Career College will continue, as it is great for the horses and great for the students.

Thanks for the wonderful teamwork and a great day!
