Another EMACIATED MARE!!! DEENA

Saturday, March 27th, 2010 brought another emaciated mare to Safe Haven Horse Rescue! This is another TEACUP SYNDROME!!!!!! This is just ridiculous!!!! What the H---L is wrong with these people!!!!!! Deena in her younger years, was a world class, Western Pleasure Show Horse!!! At this time, I cannot share the details of this horse, all I can tell you is; Grrrrrr...................


We wormed her & let her graze in the green area for the afternoon, with the 'Chubby' Gelding she came in with!!!! It just breaks your heart to see this beautiful girl in such bad shape! Safe Haven Volunteers, groomed her up best as they could, & noticed that she is covered in Rain Rot on that teacup shelf!!! It was just too cold to bathe her yesterday, & today we have Rain coming in! For 3 days, they say, let's hope the weatherman is WRONG!!! As you can see, she is VERY SKINNY!!! Linda R. says she is a good, 500lbs UNDER WEIGHT!!! This poor old mare ( late twenties) has been out in the pasture thru all the bad weather we have had here in No. Cal. this winter!!! More Grrrrr's!!! We will be putting a blanket on her this afternoon, & will be keeping a close eye on those pointy hips of hers!!! I just can't wrap my head around on HOW, a so called human being can do this to any animal!!! Any way, back to yesterday, we moved horses around & put the two in separate pens, but they could still see each other, & then, after a full day of grazing, she was a little uncomfortable in the tummy!!! Linda R. got her stethoscope out & she had rockin' & rollin' gut sounds! So, Linda R. knew she would be okay, & that all the gentle green grass, was soft & would work her way to the poop chute! & I'm happy to report, that Linda R. called this morning to say; that Deena had lot's of nice piles in her pen this morning!!! YEAH......... I know you all will be just abhorred at the picture of her back end, but we need to have it shown!!!! Sorry, if it shocks you, & know it will make you all pretty upset!! Sure does us, at Safe Haven Horse Rescue!!!! Can only think, & ask WHY????????????
Bye for now,
Linda C.
