Trinitys Story

Hi All

I just took in a rescue last night for Acer rescue here in Ohio. They are full to the brim and so I am fostering her until they have room. This is a grade yearling paint filly. Very very thin, lame on one leg and has a very bad eye injury. Her previous owner took her on a 30 mile trail ride this weekend even though she had never had a saddle on, has an injured eye and is only a yearling. They said since she didnt buck when they put the saddle on they figured she was ready to ride. Starving horses dont tend to buck a whole lot :(

If anyone can spare some change for Trinitys vet bill I would be so thankful. ACER rescue is just full to the brim. I know this is tough times for all of us but if anyone can spare even just a couple dollars it all adds up. The vet is on his way to see her this afternoon. This little filly is full of potential if we can get her past this bad spot.

Their paypal for donations is horseshorse@acerescue.com





Swollen leg. We dont know if she injured it or if its from the trail ride they took her on

Her eye is smashed in but no one ever called a vet

I'm glad you decided to help out and foster her. I would find it hard to believe that she would be pregnant, I'd be more concerned about possible worms causing a big belly, unless you know for sure that a stallion had access to her at one point or another. I also believe that euthanasia should not be overlooked depending on the situation, but I would always ask a vets opinion first, unless it was obvious that it would be the better choice, i.e. colic, or something similar. I had a 3 year old rescue, a cute grey and white arabian paint cross who's owner moved, and abandoned his two horses. I had worked with the horse for a year before the owner left, and for about 6 months after, but in the end had to put him down. It was hard and sad to have to deal with all that, as I had tried so hard not to get attached, since the owner had said he was coming back, but I couldn't help it lol. At least I can be happy knowing that I gave him the best possible year and a half of his short life, and that he was well loved. Even with that outcome, it was one of the most rewarding things I've done.
