Racking mare update…

11/26/12
This mare is so darn thin – skin on bones. It’s hard to tell with her thick coat. I’m glad she has a thick coat because there’s nothing else to keep her warm. I just got back from an appointment in Gainesville and have someone coming to meet Silver Belle any minute now. I’ll get more pictures of the mare this afternoon. She has such sweet eyes.

She’s laying down in the sun now – she’s likely tired from yesterday’s trip but hopefully feeling secure enough to just relax and enjoy the day. When she walks she staggers – it’s really sad. There is just no muscle. I can’t imagine her being ridden or hitched up to do any amount of work. The farrier will be out tomorrow to pull her shoes and trim her. Dr. Ryan will be out tomorrow too unless we need him before then. I wanted to give her a day to just relax. She is drinking fine so that is good. Quite frankly, I’ve been in tears all day. I just don’t understand – how? How could this happen????

We appreciate the help from others but we need more donations to help this mare. Any amount would be appreciated. No amount is too small. Donations can be called into the vet’s office at 352-237-6151 or if you’d like to donate some hay for her donations can be called into Larson Farms at 352-867-8333, Her rehab is going to take some time – slow and steady with everything. I’m worried about her so please keep her in your prayers. God bless and thank you.

Sincerely,
