Update from Aspen Creek Vets.
Update: We are still holding tight at the hospital. We are right on the line of mandatory evacuations and are on standby for immediate evacuation if the winds change. Most of the horses along the Pleasant Park corridor seem to have been safely evacuated yesterday evening - it was impressive how many people helped so quickly to get all of the animals out.

We are still open for urgent calls today and have a veterinarian on the way to Jefferson County Fairgrounds to assist with some burned and injured animals. We would like to extend a HUGE thanks to everyone who helped us and our neighbors evacuate horses and pack belongings yesterday: Melinda Liverant, Shane Holland, Jim Reffel, Pat Bentley, Jeff George, Amy and Troy Murdock, Shannon Harland, and more. We would also like to thank Laura at Bridlewood stables for graciously providing temporary housing for all of our personal and patient horses....including one very pregnant mare on foal watch! Today we were flooded with calls from concerned clients and well wishers offering help and assistance - we are fine for now but MANY MANY THANKS! Hopefully with some air support and cooperative winds we can start unpacking and bring horses back in soon.

Anyone know if they are doing water drops yet? Have not heard anything on the scanner.

Take water/sports drink donations to Journey Ranch at 10101 Highway 73 in Conifer.

The Chatfield High evac point has been shut down. Primary evacuation point remains Conifer High.
