🌟 Patient Spotlight 🌟
This incredible 27-year-old gelding suffered an eye injury. Despite every effort from our team and his devoted owner, the eye sadly couldn’t be saved.
But this golden oldie still had so much life and love to give — healthy, in ridden work, and enjoying his days! After discussing all options together, his owner elected for a standing enucleation surgery (eye removal), and this beautiful boy handled it like a true champion.
✨ Performed under standing sedation with local nerve blocks, he was the perfect patient. He woke up from his sedation, started grazing and returned to his paddock mates… calm, comfortable, and utterly unbothered!
He’s now healed beautifully, and we were thrilled to receive this photo of him back under saddle, doing what he loves best. 🐴💙
Horses adapt incredibly well, and while there are small changes to make, we find our patients recover uneventfully from this surgery and continue to live happy, healthy and pain free!
