The auction is over, but this crippled pony was the focus of our concern all day and into the night. After lengthy negotiations with the owner, we were finally able to secure her safety. But what we found was a severely injured animal, barely able to carry her own weight. The added sight of a saddle mark added to the sad sight. Our plan is to have the vet evaluate her first thing in the morning, and decide if a pain-free future can be hers.
Also rescued tonight was Hip 630 "Em z em," and Hip 642, the Friesian/Qh x brought back to auction from last month and almost caught in the endless circuit of selling from auction to auction.
Em Z Em is in great need of a lameness exam himself, and we're relieved he can be rehabilitated before he would have been otherwise wrecked, as another round living a life of charros and match races was what he would face. Saving Em Z Em before he's irrevocably damaged like our sweet little pony, who can barely bear her own weight tonight.
