New Rescues Have Arrived... 08/22/2009
Before I start, I'd like to ask that we refrain from 'flaming' the owners of these horses. Regardless of the horses' condition, the owners did voluntarily sign them over in order to get them the help they need, and they do deserve some credit for that. These pictures are the cell phone pics brought to me Wednesday night that kicked things into gear; I will have more posted later this weekend on these guys' own section on the "Project Horses" page under "Petersburg Rescues 8-21". I'll give the whole story on their page when I get it built later today/tomorrow, but for now let's just say that there are 3...a pony and two others that are supposed to be 2-year olds. The pony is about a 2 and the horses are a 1 on the Henneke body scale (google it, I'll put a link up later); all are covered in rain rot, at least one has a fungal infection on her legs, and all are so full of worms that they still have patches of their winter coat. Their teeth are horrid; these little guys/girl are going to take a LOT of TLC and $$ to get back into shape. There is a lot more to the story as well; check back for their page to get the whole scoop. Keep these little ones in your thoughts and prayers! CommentsLeave a Reply |
