                       New Arrivals

     Saturday, Sept. 11 saw the arrival of three new rescues. Two mini-horses, Pegasus and Abigail, were rescued by a friend of Debora's. She saw them in a field and saw how overgrown their hooves were and stopped to ask the owner if he needed a home for the horses. He said he had rescued them from someone else who had a neglected mini-horse herd, and his farrier didn't know how to deal with the overgrown hooves.
     Debora immediately started working on their hooves after sedating them. Pegasus' hooves were easier to deal with than Abigails, who's hooves grew out to the side and are causing joint problems in her feet. Both minis are very sweet and approachable. Abigail is a dwarf mini, so she's about the size of large dog. They are both much more comfortable now, but both will need a lot of dental care. You can see more pictures on our Facebook page.
     11-22-21 Update: Abby and Peggy have settled in nicely with the other mini-horses and the mini-donkeys. Debora continues to work on Abby's hooves and her ability to move around is improving. We even saw her run one day! Her abcessed ear, which required surgery, is completely healed and she now likes to have her ears rubbed.

     The other new arrival is Wilson, a 28-year old Thoroughbred gelding who was rescued by a woman who has other horses, and although she did her best to take care of him, Wilson didn't fit in with her herd and she needed to find him a home. He has had some vet care but is underweight. We'll know more about his health needs once he's had a vet check.
     As always, donations are greatly appreciated to help with the immediate medical needs of the horses and with their ongoing regular care.
     11-22-21 Update: Wilson has now gained enough weight that the ribs visible in this picture are no longer visible and he no longer looks so bony. This is a major improvement!

Horses are assessed for behavior issues and previous training.  Though all our horses are not ridable, we strive to have them be well-mannered and safe to handle. 
Adoption

Adoptions and loving homes are our goal.  However, it takes time and money to prepare a horse for a successful adoption.  Please help us help these equines into a new forever home with a loving family.
