🌈Nyssa🌈
This week we were faced with making a heart breaking decision. We had to say goodbye to our sweet little Nyssa and lay her to rest in a final act of kindness. She was on a pain management protocol and getting corrective trims every 4 weeks but no amount of rehabilitation could undo her life of suffering. The neglect she experienced and the damage to her small body was extensive. She spent too many years lying in a pasture unable to move without extreme pain and the strain on her organs was too much. We did everything we could but in the end her heart began to fail. She was having a difficult time breathing and the upcoming winter would have been too much for her. Some things just cant be fixed with love and care or we would never have to say goodbye. Thankfully, her story didn’t end in that pasture alone. She had been welcomed into her own little herd of small donkeys and ponies. She made friends who gave her comfort and companionship. She knew love and proper care. She may have been mini but her impact was far from it.
Special thanks to her wonderful farrier Lacey, who did wonders with her feet and the hero who rescued her, Aly ❤️❤️.
