A New Chapter for Two Older Mini’s
|
On Thursday, we picked up the mini’s – a new chapter in their lives has begun! When it was time to transport them to the rescue, I told Jiminy and Cricket that they were going on an adventure. They walked right onto the trailer. I felt a bit of sadness – they were leaving behind the only home they’d ever known. But their humans did the right thing in reaching out for help – they needed to concentrate on their own well-being as they each were having health issues.

 When we received the call asking if we could take in the minis, we knew that we had no available paddocks. However, even if we can’t take in a horse, we try to help by networking in an effort to find a good home.
After visiting with Jiminy and Cricket, and speaking with the owner, we knew we had to find a way as we felt a sense of urgency. Cricket is 32 years young and Jiminy is 29. We came up with an idea. We knew Cookie would be proud to help in this endeavor so we set up Cookie’s Corral for them! I miss Cookie so much – there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her. A portable shelter was procured by a supporter and others have promised to help cover the cost of Cricket’s and Jiminy’s needs. The initial costs will be significant (vetting, dental, farrier, etc.) It takes a village!

 The little ones unloaded and settled right into their area.

 On Friday, Jiminy and Cricket had a full physical by Dr. Simonson. Both were underweight, dehydrated, and had low body temps. Jiminy’s heart rate was also low. Of the two minis, Cricket is more lively.

 Dr. Julia double checked Jiminy’s heart and confirmed that his heart rate was low but the rhythm was okay. We will be monitoring this and are currently awaiting blood test results.
We truly appreciate any and all help for these sweet Minis and we cannot do this without assistance from others. Our village makes this possible!
