SeAnna

12/01/16 Wednesday

SeAnna had a dental appointment with Dr. Bess Darrow today. She was a little reluctant to walk on the trailer but it didn’t take long for her to decide it would be ok.

SeAnna is grossly underweight – a body condition score of 1. Sometimes teeth contribute to weight loss but not in this case – she was just not fed. I’m often told that a horse is thin because it’s old. Some older ones may need a special diet but that’s no reason to let them starve. Starving any animal is just plain cruel.

SeAnna has an overbite and needed some adjustments but her mouth wasn’t terribly bad. She had a happy mouth once Dr. Bess was finished with her.

SeAnna is 20 years young and she is an absolute sweetheart. How anyone could just walk away and leave any animal behind to starve is something I’ll never be able to understand. But she’s safe now, a new chapter in her life is underway. Thank you all for caring!

We named the latest arrival SeAnna (pronounced see-anna) which is a variant of the name Janet. It means “Gift from God.” We lost a dear animal warrior and friend last week, Janet Lacetera, and I’m sure she would be truly honored. Janet had a heart of gold and made a difference in the lives of many horses and other animals.

Dr. Specht did a physical on SeAnna. She’s a very sweet mare estimated to be about 20 years young. She has a heart murmur and a tummy with quite a bit of sand in it.

SeAnna is barely a 1 on the body condition score scale – she’s a rack of bones and is at least 300 lbs. underweight. Blood work and a fecal were done which we will review with the vet tomorrow.

SeAnna has an appointment with Dr. Bess Darrow (Tune-Ups Dentistry) tomorrow to get her teeth done which she badly needs. She’s got an overbite and other issues.

I wanted to give her a bath today but felt it best to wait. However, I did give her a good brushing and it took me awhile to get her mane combed out. I think she really enjoyed the attention.

SeAnna is really a beautiful girl – inside and out. It’s really very sad what she endured before coming here. But that is in the past and she’s started a new chapter in her life. No more hunger or neglect.
