FANCY'S STORY
L March 29 1986 M
March 29 1986 I took this young Registered Paint mare from the owner due to starvation. In addition to being starved she had a jaw abscess that went completely through the jaw to the outside. She also had lice, worms, and a severe vaginal infection. Under that heavy hair coat you could feel every rib. You can see by the sunken appearance below the backbone that her spine stuck up all the way from wither to hip and her hip bones were protruding. The horse had been kept blanketed. I put Fancy into a stall with a run however she was too weak to walk outside of the stall. (It took weeks for her to gain the strength to leave her stall.) I had the vet out the same day I brought Fancy home. He felt that she would not survive. He did a vaginal flush, taught me how to flush the jaw abscess, gave her IV fluids, and treated her for external and internal parasites. The odor around this poor mare was incredibly awful. (That odor from her stayed in the stall for years.) I had to begin by feeding very small amounts of grass hay five times a day, then over the course of many weeks I began to add grain, supplements, and alfalfa. After a few weeks fancy lost most of the hair on her body. The reason was that she had experienced a total mineral imbalance and when I began feeding a balanced ration her body went into shock. When her hair came back in and it was healthy and shiny. It took two months of daily treatment on her jaw abscess before it stopped draining to the outside. I kept fancy in a dry lot and then slowly introduced her to pasture. She blossomed. The owners agreed to allow me to sell Fancy to an approved home. They then sold the new owners the registration papers. Fancy's new home was with an Arabian breeder who was breeding for Pinto's. Fancy was bred and had a beautiful Pinto foal the following year Fancy was one of the sweetest and most honest horses we have every had the experience to work with. She tolerated the painful treatment and loved having us handle her. She was very intelligent and would try to do anything she was asked. Fancy Before March 29 1986

The purpose of having a foal
Meet Molly. She's a gray speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when
Katrina hit southern Louisiana, USA . She spent weeks on her own before finally
being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled. While
there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier, and almost died. Her gnawed right
front leg became infected and her vet went to LSU for help. But LSU was
overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.
