Hello, my name is Katrina and I would like to introduce you all to a recently rescued miniature mare named Marshmellow. She was rescued July 11. 2008. I was told about this site by a wonderful woman named Heidi. (She is also involved in this crazy story!)
Gina called around 11 and asked if I could go pick up a horse that had been signed over to the rescue. Of course, I said yes. Little was I to know that the little mare was to change my life.
I called my friend Bill and asked if he would like to go with me. He agreed and met me at my home. From there we went to Gina’s home. We took her truck and trailer and off to Bonita we went. We got lost, because I had no idea were I was going! But we eventually found out where we were to go. We arrived at the property. He was standing so I could not see her body. She looked at me like “Are you here to get me?!” She was a beautiful Cremello Miniature mare. Through my teary eyes, I would say that she was a body score of 2. (She later turned out to be a 1). The man had no papers on her. No halter, just a rope around her neck to lead her. She loaded into the trailer and stood there. She did get a handful of hay to kinda settle her in. The man talked mostly to Bill. He didn’t want to talk to me. But he did tell me that they had just taken a colt off of her about a week ago. He then informed me that the colt was around 7 months old. He told Bill that he had wormed her. He was very defensive with his words.
We quickly hit the road to take her to her new ‘home’. We stopped at a gas station to put diesel in her truck, and Bill noticed her eye. It was oozing a white/yellow creamy mess. I held back more tears. We drove home, and would stop every-so-often to check on her.
We arrived at Gina’s. Opened the door and Gina began to bawl. We asked if she could be saved. Suzanne told us “Yes! She can be saved.”
She was loaded into Suzanne’s trailer. Gina gave 2 bags of feed, a bag of treats, two bales of hay, a container of fly spray, and a refill of fly spray for the little mare.
We said our Good Byes, and wished her a safe trip home.
Her when she arrived.
Her hips.
The eye that is going to need to be removed.
I will add more of Marshmellows's story (as it has continued to grow!)
