NEWEST ARRIVAL
Charity
 

She’s a 2 year old sorrel thoroughbred filly, about 15 hands high (small for a thoroughbred). We think she’s 2 years old, but with thoroughbreds, no matter what time of the year they are born, they are all 1 year old on Jan 1, even if they were born in Dec, go figure. She had been desert raced for almost a year. Desert race is like drag race, one to one match, by the Mexican mafia. When she was injured, a rotated coffin bone and couldn’t race, he quit feedin’ her and took her to the auction (slaughterhouse killers), where she was rescued. She couldn’t walk and had to be moved on a board (door). The gal that rescued her, fed her and the farrier put a corrective shoe on her, but couldn’t keep her, cause she has 32 horses. She was gonna put her down, cause she was a special needs horse and she couldn’t get her adopted. That’s when they got in contact with us and ya know the rest, we took her in. Our farrier took it off last week and put a shoe on backwards, so air would get to it. Dave has to paint the bottom of her hoof every day til it heals, but he keeps forgettin’. She’s a very sweet horse, gentle and beautiful brown eyes, She’s a very sweet horse, gentle and beautiful brown eyes and I know I’m gonna bond with her. She’s atad hesitant still, but that’s cause she’s been so mistreated by her previous owner. She’s put on some weight in the pics and is able to walk now.
