For Them

This is for just a few that have been lost.
These horses all had that something extra. Call it heart, or soul, whatever.. You could see it in their eyes. These horses are gone on to a better place. Don't forget the ones still here. Thank you.
Info on The White Angel from CA--
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who dumped a severely injured horse on Monday, January 14 has been raised to $6,000. The horse, a white mare believed to be in her late 20's, was found in a pasture near 800 River Road.

SPCA Humane Officers arrived at the scene to investigate and called Dr. Heather Baker from Monterey County Equine, Inc. to perform an emergency medical evaluation Monday evening. The mare was suffering from multiple severely infected wounds around the carpus (knee) on her right leg. Radiographic evidence taken on scene showed significant injury to the joint and revealed that the injury was at least three weeks or more old and that there had been previous injuries to the leg.

In addition, she was suffering from ringbone (arthritis) in her left leg, exacerbated by the additional weight the leg was forced to bear due to the injury to her right leg. She also had an obvious previous trauma to the left eye resulting in blindness, a partial cataract in her right eye, pressure marks on her head and face that appeared to be from a halter left on too tightly, an ulcerated vulva, and she was emaciated. Due to the severity of her injuries, Dr. Baker strongly recommended and performed humane euthanasia.

If caught, the owners could be charged with the following offenses: California Penal Code Sections 597.1 (Permitting Animals to go Without Veterinary Care), Penal Code 597 (Animal Cruelty), Penal Code 597(b) (Deprivation of Food, Water, and Shelter), and Penal Code 597s (Abandonment).

If you have any information about this case or can identify the horse in these pictures, please contact The SPCA at 831-373-2631 or 422-4721 x213 or report online. All calls are completely confidential

we lost our mare and foal after a hard fight and I never had a decision so hard to make. I'll always miss inshala and miracle, but am forever thankful to the vets that were there with us. I also own a half brother to eight belles and was so proud of her on derby day and my heart broke when I learned of her fate. I both love and hate the racing industry for what I've seen from all of it. God bless these beautiful horses that have passed on.
