In addition to the horses we have physically helped this year we have networked to rehome a small group of Arabians whose owner died. Glad we did the fecal so he didn't get deworming drugs that weren't needed. He got his feet trimmed, a bath on one of the 80 degree days and with Jen's TLC he has cheered up and is starting to feel at home. It will be a slow recovery and the first few days at Jen's he was just not responsive.
All his blood levels were below normal, not unexpected for a horse with such mal-nutrition in his mid 20's. Christi Garfinkel examined him and did complete bloodwork, calling his condition 'guardedly optimistic'. Because his health was so severe he needed feeding every few hours, our friend and fellow rescuer, Jen Baker (Baker Ranch Equine Rescue) is providing that care for him at her place in Ramona for the next 4-8 weeks.ĭr. On 2-1-13, we rescued an emaciated gelding from the Riverside Animal Control that we named Maverick in honor of a EqWBR supporter's beloved dog.
HAPPY VALENTINE DAY HORAE SKIN
Maverick - skin and bones the day he arrived from Riverside A/C We asked Will to name him so this little guys name is Liam. Liam - weanling colt with umbilical hernia saved from kill buyer at Mike's Auction We are trying to raise $400 to cover those initial costs and in the next months he will need to be castrated and have the umbilical hernia corrected at the same time, so that will probably be and additional $500 (which is why we knew no one but a kill buyer would bid on him). A trimmer will be called to do his feet as soon as his quarantine is over. We also started him with a small dose of dewormer because foals his age with hay bellies like his, usually have parasite issues. Kirsten Lawrence is now helping daily with the horse at the ranch in Ramona and she helped him get settled in by finding a blanket, halter and lead rope for him, fresh water, hay, salt block and shelter from the upcoming rain. Here is the video of him getting out of the trailer.

Ashley said he whinnied when he saw her.įrom picture above you can see he had no trouble leaving the auction lot as they are making their way to the truck and trailer at the end of the driveway. On Sunday, Ashley and Will took their day to go back up with our trailer and pick him up. The KB drove the price up on purpose, a healthy weanling will go for $50-$100. With fees, it was $200 to buy him from auction. Ashley got him for $20 over the KB's final bid.Īshley Henry with Liam heading home 2-10-13 Ashley bid on him for EqWBR and it's a good thing because the only other bidder was a known killbuyer (KB). Ashley and Will where on their way up to the auction to check things out. It is hard enough to sell young ones at auction, but one that needs surgery, impossible. I saw this picture on Facebook with a note that he had an umbilical hernia. Many of you don't even know that over this past weekend, we rescued a weanling (approximately 4-6 months old) from Mike's Auction in Mira Loma.
