"Imwilliecute," one of the four rescued recipient mares to date, was seen by Dr. Sullivan from West Coast Equine Hospital today. The 12-year-old racing Quarter Horse mare had to have X-rays of her very sore feet, where it was found her coffin bone was fractured in two places. Dr. Sullivan said it was likely to have occurred a month prior, something she has been suffering through, without any pain relief, for all this time.
The recipient mare's teeth were also very neglected, so she required an immediate power float. Along with a set of vaccinations, now it's time to wait for the farrier, get a new set of shoes to protective her sensitive soles, and wait for her to heal.
The longterm prognosis is a good one: given the right care and time to heal, it's likely "Imwilliecute" can be rehabilitated into a happy, sound riding horse. We certainly will try -- we always do.
If you would like to donate toward Imwilliecute's rehabilitation, please do so through our website athttp://www.auctionhorsesrescue.com/donate.html
Tomorrow, the other three recipient mares -- Springisintheair, Mud In The Hall, and the unidentified tattooed mare -- will be seen by Dr. Kemper!
And we are still working on finding the "last recipient mare standing" a safe rescue home!!!
