Rudy came to us in December along with 5 other surving herdmates, from Wasco County. At 10 months of age he was not only severly malnorished but also loaded with internal parasites and ticks. All of these things contributed to his stunted size & development.
He has now been gelded, dewormed & is living at a ranch where a trainer can touch him daily. We are pretty sure he had never been touched by a human prior to coming to SEO.
He comes from what appear to be working quarter horse stock but we will not know for several months if he will ever reach a size large enough to be ridden. Its is hard to adopt out young rescue horses and even more difficult if we are unsure of their adult size.
Hopefully, with quality food & deworming Rudy will continue to grow and make up for his rough start in life. We estimate that he will be in our program for 12 - 24 months due to his age & current condition. We estimate the total cost for getting Rudy healthy and ready for adoptions will be around $3000.
Today only during Global Givings matching bonus day, all donations up to $1000 will be matched 30% until the $75,000 runs out. That means that we can raise the $3000 that Rudy needs with only $2300 in donations.
Together we can give Rudy a chance to become a useful, wanted horse in our community.
Thank You!
