Help Provide Veterinary Care for Vulnerable Horses

Meet our two newest intakes Zazu and Nala. They are both significantly underweight, scoring a 2 out of 9 on the Henneke Body Condition Scale. Both horses came in covered with lice and rain rot.

Zazu is a Paint type gelding who is about 18 years old. He had some harsh lung sounds and was not thrilled to bend his hind legs. We will radiograph his hocks and look for arthritis after he is stronger and feeling better.

Nala is a Quarter Horse Type mare that appears to be about 5 years old. She is sore on a front foot, likely caused by a thin weak sole. She also is off on a hind leg from what we are guessing is a weak stifle. Both conditions will be reevaluated once her feet have been able to dry up and she has had enough calories and time to build muscle. For now, this duo’s job will be to just rest, eat and gain strength.

If you would like to help Zazu and Nala’s recovery, please consider taking advantage of GlobalGivings New Monthly Donor Campaign. Any new monthly donation will be matched 100% after 4 monthly donations!

Thanks to your support, Burrata, Cam, Cheddar and Elliott’s lives are heading for a much brighter future!

Over the last few weeks, all four of these horses have gone from at risk situations to under Sound Equine Options care. Burrata and Cam came from an overpopulated feral herd. They had conditions that desperately needed care. Cheddar is Cam’s foal, so he came along for the ride. Elliott on the other hand, came from a law enforcement situation and needs some groceries and diagnostic veterinary care.

As we head into winter, these horses are only the tip of the iceberg of horses that will need our help. Thank you for your continued support, you help change their lives!
