Dusty, a new EMACIATED Arabian gelding!

Meet Dusty, he's the newest addition to the horses at Safe Haven. He came from here in Cottonwood, I'm sorry to say! but at least one person, who cared about him was smart enough to call Linda! Dusty was brought to Safe Haven that afternoon.

As you can see from this pic, that yes he is Emaciated. He definitely needs a couple of hundred pounds! He has the dreaded 'teacup syndrome' going on!

It will take some time, & a lot of good ole Groceries, but this good guy will be right as rain, before ya know it! Can hardly wait to see this cute butt all nice & round!

I would say that this poor guy was up to his KNEES in MUD! Looks like he might be a little club footed on that right front too! We'll have to see what our Farrier, Cody says.

Holly was out to the ranch to take care of Cessie's knee, & Linda put her to work on Dusty. His private part was a bit swollen so, Holly is checking that out. Holly removed a huge 'bean' from him. He will be so much more comfortable now.

Holly also washed the mud off of his legs, so he'd be even more comfortable! Thanks Holly! You Rock! It will be warm enough by the end of this week to give Dusty a much needed betadine bath! Yeah! Dusty will also be wormed, & given all his vaccinations, as we do with Every horse that comes into Safe Haven! If you would like to come out & meet Dusty, Saturday would be good!
