No More Broken Wings!

Annie is a 7-year-old TB Polo Pony mare that we rescued in the 3rd week of Oct 08. She had a week to live. Nobody wanted her because she had severe white line disease and had to have most of her left front hoof resected (removed.) Our farrier called us and asked us if we would be interested in being responsible for the care she would need until her recovery, which has been nothing short of amazing! She is expected to make a full recovery and most likely will not even require any sepecial shoeing. She is healthy, smart, willing, fun, and will make somebody a VERY special friend. We hope to be able to offer her up for adoption by summer of this year. Anyone wanting info on her can email scherryann@cox.net

Peace & Happy Trails

I'm amazed by how fast her hoof wall grew back!! What's that supplement you said you've been using? Having a bit of a struggle with the white line disease here also..

[scherryann]

I've always used ACCEL. It is complete and even has proibiotics. It's mid-range in price but works as well or better than many very expensive hoof supplements.

People will never stop cruelty to animals until they can learn to love and respect each other. Unfortunately, that will not happen in my lifetime but perhaps in my grandchildren's lifetimes. I can only pray. Annie went to a nice lady and is at a local barn up here where we live! She went to her new home on April 4th, one month to the day after my dear Dad died on March 4As one lifetime ended, so another began anew. My father would have been very proud.

Great work!!! I"m dealing a horse with white line now. I hope I can get him back to normal.

Well, I can tell you the things that I think will turn a horse around if he/she can be saved: TOP nutrition, the BEST farrier you can find, and TIME. Annie never wore fancy "special" shoes but she got the BEST farrier care, good hay, lots of clean water and Accel supplement in a cup of horsie "kibble" each day. And lots of walking and turnout time to get oxygen to her feet and build up her atrophied muscles. Good Luck!

great, great job you've done with this mare- virtual high five.

I see great dresage potenial in this young mare!!

[scherryann]

I think so too. Annie went to her new home on April 4th, one month to the day after my dear Dad passed away. As one life ends, so begins another. It is the Way.
