May 7, 2010
Lot: Group of 6
Our group took six horses out of a total of 19 rescued by a lady
who later discovered
she couldn't afford their upkeep. The two deputies who were involved
were awesome.
They video taped and took lots of pictures and said they would stay with
it. If the remaining horses' conditions deteriorate, they will take them
all. The case will stay open.
It is midnight and has been a long day.
UPDATE ~ 10:49 AM, May 12, 2010
We think we have two
adopted. The vet comes today and
we will go from there.
One poor old girl is so thin she is a grade 1,
but she still talks to me
when I go in her stall, bright eyed and hopeful. What a darling mare she
is. Normally when
they get this bad they zone out, they are wooden puppets, they will move
where you
put them, and are completely shut down and unreactive. This darling old
girl is
begging for life. I am saying little prayers for her today...the vet
will know.
UPDATE ~ 8:07 PM, May 13, 2010
The vet came and checked the
horses over.
The lovely old mare has no teeth left and cannot eat; the gelding has a
bone broken in
the knee and he cannot bend it for the farrier: the black mare is blind
on one side and
her spine is deformed from who knows what. We have to euthanize all
three.
UPDATE ~ 12:31 PM, May 13, 2010
The old gal and her friends have a reprieve for the summer!
We just received an offer of a 5-acre field full of lush wild grasses.
We will give these
poor guys a good summer, then quietly euthanize them come winter.
At least they can have that.

Lot: Paint Pony
This pony's former owner gave him away to someone who didn't care
enough or
know enough to provide proper care. Our farrier worked on him for over
four
hours today, finding a huge abscess in a front foot. Pony's foot has
been soaked
and wrapped for the night; the farrier will be back tomorrow to do more.
We all are praying there is no rotation of the coffin bone.
