4-C Stables opened in June 2006 and is owned and operated by Stacey and
Lyman Carpenter.  Stacey is a Registered Veterinary Technician and studied
health and nutrition in school so she is very much in tune with the horses
individual nutritional needs.  Each horse on the property is special to her
and she knows them individually.

Stacey has been working with horses her entire life.  She has performed in
shows, rodeos, parades, trail competitions, drill teams and much more.  She
has attended many clinics and training seminars to further her knowledge
with horses.  Currently she follows many of the natural horsemanship
trainers such as Clinton Anderson, Pat Parelli, and Craig Cameron.  In her off
time she enjoys competing in barrel racing on her horse "Shaq" and trail
riding on her mule, "Mojo".

4-C Stables has much to offer the horse lover.  Summer camps, birthday
parties, trail rides, play days, lessons, seminars and much more.  If you are
looking to buy a horse we can help you out.  If you currently have horses -
this is a safe, fun and wonderful facility to be at!
"Hope"
She had injured her left rear hoof somehow.  The first thing we had to do was get the wound clean and
try to cut away the broken hoof so it would not snag on anything.  The next step was to soak it and make
sure that all the dirt and manure was out of the wound.  When I started digging around I realized that it
went all the way under the frog and included the entire left side of her hoof.  I was worried that it would
involve the bone so we started major antibiotics immediately.   Later we soaked gauze with Iodine and
created a wedge to help support some of the weight on that hoof.  She is doing well and we will keep
adding to this as things progress.

It took about 7 months but she did grow a completely new hoof.  She is sound on it and there is no
evidence of an injury!   That was WORK!
"Major"
We aren't quite sure what happened to his neck
but I am sure that it had something to do with a
T-post.  He came to me with a huge laceration on
his neck.  Here are the photos of the suture job.
Day 1
Some interesting things we have seen lately.
Day 7
Looking Good!

Update:  several months later he still
looks great!   We aren't even able to
see where the area was!  YEA!
"Colt"
He injured his eye somehow.  After washing it, a layer of
sutures and some staples - he was as good as new.!
These are photos from a horse that came in last year that had gone
through a chain link gate and sliced his shoulder open on the gate
latch.  Several layers of sutures and LOTS of antibiotics and he healed
up GREAT!    The owner says he can't even see a mark where the
wound was!
Just another layer or two and then the
skin staples!
