I did notice something going on with his back legs, but you did a fantastic job bringing him back to a healthy weight! What a handsome boy, and I'm sure he makes a fantastic pet
He's stunning! You've done an amazing job with him. That's really fantastic. I love before and after pictures. I'm in shock at what a difference you've made so fast!
well he was gelded and turned straight out to grass. when his previous owner went to check on him (3months later), he was in that state. mainly down to red worm infestation and really really bad teeth so he struggled to eat
There is something in the eye of a horse who has had a terrible life...it's almost like they transcend their own sorry existence. Horses are truly incredible souls, and not a single one deserves anything other than safety and great care, and it truly breaks my heart to see them in such condition. THANK YOU for caring and for saving this one's life in spite of his inability to ever been ridden.
I rescued an ottb a few years ago that was in similar condition...he had alternately been starved and beaten for 3 years after winning on the track for 6. Once I got ahold of him, he was so broken that no one gave him a chance or the time of day, but he turned out to be the kindest and wisest horse that I have ever met. I think that every horse person should take in a rescue at least once...it really has an impact on both you and the horse.
WOW! that's amazing, he looks like a completely different horse. Very great of you to take care of him and nurse him back to health!
