We were called by Harrison County Sheriff Office to assist in the seizure of two horses.
Both are mares, suffering from neglect and malnutrition.
We have taken them to a quarantine area and will do a complete assessment.
Right now they are just happy to have some water and something to eat.
Please pray for their health and safety as with all seizure cases, we do not want them returned to neglectful owners.
If you would like to donate towards their care, all donations would be greatly appreciated.

Our dear Polly ended her battle yesterday. The respiratory problems just never got 100% better. Yesterday she showed us that she was tired and ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge.
I know that her best friends were there to greet her.
Thank you all for your prayers and support throughout her last months, weeks and days. And for those who were here with us yesterday, thank you very much for your compassion and support.

We took Polly back to the Vet today. She is improving slightly but not as well as hoped for. We are continuing some of the meds and have added a few more. Poor girl is going to get real tired of being poked everyday!!
If you would like to donate to her care, you can do so via the donate button or send to 4994 FM 2088 Gilmer Texas 75644.
We greatly appreciate all who have donated.
Also a thank you to Ho**er Ranch Equine Refuge for the use of their nebulizer.

Miss Polly is still at a critical stage. She is not responding to the meds as well as we had hoped she would. We started her on something different this evening. The next 24-48 hours will be very important in deciding on her future. We are monitoring her closely and making sure she is comfortable and not suffering. We realize that we might have to make the decision for the last act of kindness.
Please keep her in your prayers.

Update: Polly has pneumonia, heart murmur and early signs of Cushing disease. Treating the pneumonia first with 3 different meds. Will possibly continue on Lasix long term. Will test for Cushing at a later date.
Thank you for your prayers.

We have Polly at the Vet this morning. She is just not feeling well. Appears to be in respiratory distress.
Prayers please for this old girl. 30 years and still going strong.
Donations towards her care, or any of our Sanctuary Horses would be greatly appreciated.
