In reality, ALL horses rescued are success stories, some are more involved, some incoming horses are often in such bad shape, the change with a little love, care, feed and water is AMAZING! Here a just a couple of examples: |
Colton
Colton came to us 3 weeks after a dog had chased him through a fence. Half the size a yearling should be, severely starved, terribly scared of humans, in pain from his injury, wormy and dehydrated. Our vet cut off the proud flesh from his wounds, cleaned up what was left of his back legs and left us with LOTS of antibiotics. Never having been handled the activity in the barn sent him to the corner to cower. Although he moved away from any human, he watched with amazing interest everything that was going on. When his legs had started to heal, and the weather grew warmer, it was time to start haltering, handling, and worming. Some of the other colts were first, Colton stood in the corner of the barn and watched. After 3 of the other horses were introduced to a chute, haltered and touched the humans were tired, figuring Colton had already been through so much we would leave him for another day. As we began to put things away, pleased with the progress the other colts had made, Colton came forward, looked at us, and put himself in the chute!!!! AMAZING the intelligence and understanding he demonstrated. Although he cringed when touched, he dropped his head, licked and chewed, and let us groom both sides and halter him. After 6 months his legs are still healing. He'll never grow to his full height due to early malnutrition but will be healthy and happy when he finds his forever home.
P.S . He still watches and takes in EVERYTHING we humans do. He knows he is "Colton" but still has a problem with trust. He spends more time with us humans than his horse buddies. He is looking for a patient, loving home.
Update: Colton became a gelding 1/07, he has become one of the most social horses at the rescue, he is our greeter for every new horse that arrives (especially the ladies!) He now asks for attention from his human caretakers, likes to be groomed, hates to be ignored. We expect him to really blossom this summer and become all that he can be! |
Ptara
Very Elegant Polish Mare, grass foundered at about 6 years old, (we found out later) She came to us when she was 16, wearing shoes that had been on since last year. They had to come off, and when they did her feet turned to baby powder. She then developed one of the worst abscesses I have ever seen, her whole heel separated with an infection that wouldn't quit coming. While soaking her foot 3 times a day she rotated the coffin bone. In the meantime she was "roaring", and seemed to have un-controlled "fits"- cysts on her ovaries from being on regumate during her show years. The abscess finally cleared so we could put a shoe on her, and she developed an abscess on her other front. WHAT NEXT? While watching her "napping" one day she appeared to go to sleep standing up, and fall over, our vet diagnosed narcolepsy, how much can this girl take? After a year of one thing after another Ptara was finally "well" (sounds easy!), she now is the sunshine for Kim, who is her best friend, and her other horse friend Lady. |

“As I came in from outside, I was greeted by the Upbeat Sounds of a Great Western Song, and a Pleasing Western Voice. To make a long story short I couldn’t turn it off. When I play it on our Radio Show, the remarks that come back to me are “Great Voice, Good Dance Music, Where can I find the CD?” This is definitely a CD that belongs in the CD Player, and not in the case. A truly fine CD, professionally crafted, and sung by a true cowboy who has since become a great friend.”
