Trooper, our little twisted Mini

[Unicorner]

Many of you already know Trooper, our little "mobility challenged" mini. But for those that don't and might like to follow his progress we are keeking a list of updates on our blog at http://unicornerfarm.blogspot.com/search/label/Trooper

Trooper was born with his back legs "twisted" almost into a pretzal. What gave us hope from the start was that the BONES were straight, just the ligaments and tendons not right. He had apparently gotten jammed up inside mom where he couldn't move his back legs.

He is currently out of his splints and is walking and running! He has a ways to go yet (still down in his pasterns) but continues to improve daily!

I must have completely missed the post. But all I can say is WOW

he has come a long way. I saved your blog to my Favs so I can keep seeing his progress. Kudos to you guys for being there for this guy and I am sure it's been a lot of work. I'm so glad he got a chance and it looks like he's taking it.

He was lucky to have been born to a family who will take such great care of him!

One thing I love about this forum is the unconditional love people give to their horses. Some people wouldn't have even thought of giving this wonderful little horse a chance and look what they would be missing out on

. You are also providing alot of encouragement to others i'm sure! I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more about Trooper. Great job

I don't know how I've missed it but this is the first I've heard of Trooper. I gotta say that video brought tears to my eyes. What great mini parents you are!! This is for your little Trooper --->

I have followed Troopers story since day one and know from our Helen's story who was born blind that they are just amazing animals and if given a chance will prosper in their own way. They have so much heart and courage. Congratulations on your wonderful Super Trooper. He will teach all who get to know him many lessons. I wanted to cry when I saw him running around his mom and they were surely happy tears. You are wonderful mini parents and Im sure Trooper has already taught you things that are in valuable.
