Here are pics of my rescue mini who came from a "rescue" .. and it sure wasnt Chance Mini Rescue.(who i know.. does all they can for each and every horse including vet and farrier work) this horse had been with this "rescue" for about 60 days and then to me. She is soo thin and soooo scared of people. Took me 20 min to catch her in a small pen and when i did she was shaking so bad. Her feet are awful although the "rescue" says her feet were done 60 days ago ????
I havent wormed her yet wanna give her a bit more time to adjust to feed regularly and will worm her in a week or so. I have to call animal control as well. Right now she is in the back of the property but next week once some horses leave she will go up front in a 16x16 box stall with attached 12x24ish pen so i can keep an eye on her and work with her a bit more but she will be up near the street so i want them to know about her before someone calls and tells them it is me who has her and they think i let her get that way. I will say though that there is another mare here from the same "rescue" and she is in good weight although her feet are just as bad. All in all i am very pleased with this mare. She will be hardshipped the end of this month and I am sure come spring time will be hard to ever remember her looking like this and having such intense fear of people. I think if we as breeders all took in at least one rescue a year.. it would certainly do alot for our ideas and thoughts on breeding and the choices and chances we take. It is hard to see how bad off she really is in these pics all i can tell you is remember she is in a pretty good coat now as well and in person she is well lets say i was shocked at the difference in the pics and hwo she looked in person the hauler actually called me along the way to let me know how worried they were about her strength and making it on the trip
