Chief after Rehabilitation (He has found a forever home)
November 1, 2013 Voice For Horses Recue received a call from a horse dealer who went to a residence to pick up a thin horse, some one was giving away.
When he arrived he was shocked at the horses condition, the owner was giving the horse away but te dealer refused to take it due to his condition, so they called a Tiger Sanctuary to see if they could use him for meat and they refused the horse as well becasue of the horses condition. So the dealer called Voice For Horses Rescue to see if we could take it and we just could not close out door to him, so we accepted the horse. Chief as we call him aka Bones is said to be an 18+ TB gelding, he stands 16H and is 350# under weight, is dehydrated, anemic and has severe oral ulcers. Our vet gave him a guarded prognosis due to the conditon and severity of the neglect. Chief has the will to live and as long as he fights we will fight right along with him. If you would like to sponsor or donate to help Chief click the DONATE BUTTON below to be his HERO WATCH HIS JOURNEY: |
UPDATE: June 24, 2014 Chief has made great progress with his rehabilitation, he will need some condtioning but is ready for his new home.
here is his first ride since we have had him. as you can see he can be a little cocky but with weekly ridng he should mellow out. He still will need an intermediate rider http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hJXg93zCRY&feature=youtube_gdata |
