We are devastated πŸ’”

Run free our little Artax. No more pain.

His little body just couldn't take anymore and we would not allow him to suffer.

Our team poured everything we had into him but it just wasn't meant to be.

1 week worth of care! The wounds are healing nicely.

Little guy has been able to lay down and get up on his own several times this week.

We have a call in to our lameness specialist to get on the schedule to check his back left leg. It is still really bothering him. We are concerned about tendon damage but everything else looks great.

Keeping fighting little man!

Daily update on the mini stallion attacked by dogs.

We have a little more information to share. He was attacked March 2nd around 3 am. There was another mini with him that died from the attack. It is a miracle he survived the original attack.

We received him on March 7th.

He has made great progress since the 7th. We are cleaning and doctoring the wounds twice a day. He is now become quite the handful and requires sedation when doing a full cleaning.

It is comical watching us get snatched around by an 172 pound mini 🀣

He laid down for a few hours last night and was able to get up on his own. It wasn't pretty and took him a couple tries but he did it on his own! That is great news. Hopefully he continues to improve and get stronger.

We are poulticing and wrapping his legs to give him some support. He is wearing a slinky to keep him warm. We had clipped him when he arrived to find all the wounds.

I know everyone is waiting for a name. He has several currently until we figure out what fits best.

Artax and Elton John are the ones the volunteers are rooting for!

We want to take a moment to thank our amazing supporters.

When I received the call last Friday about a mini that had been attacked by dogs and needed help, I didn't hesitate. It is because of you that we can take on such severe cases.

This little guy has a fighting chance, and you have supported us every step of the way.

Look at all the supplies we received the day after we set up our wishlist! 😍

Thank you!

I know everyone has been patiently waiting for an update on our new mini stallion that was attacked by dogs.

We have good news and bad news.

I will share all the good news first.

*He is walking much better and is able to move all around his stall. He was able to walk to the main barn and into our wash rack for his evaluation.

*We have been receiving wish list items all day to help with his rehabilitation. Y'all rock!!

*He is eating good and going to the bathroom

*He has a nice layer of granulated tissue forming so the healing process has began.

*He is becoming a little spicy!

*He received his vaccines today and got a dental while he was sedated.

Now for the bad news.

He had 2 of the 3 muscles that control the back leg ripped out. There is no fixing this. It won't heal back together.

What does that mean for his future?

We will take it a day at at time.

What will be the determining factor for us?

Quality of life is always the top priority. Will he be able to move around? Will he be able to lay down and get back up on his own? Will he have a normal life except for a weird movement in the back right leg?
If can move around, run, lay down and get back up he can live the rest of his life here with us.

If he can't do those things comfortably we have to consider his quality of life.

We will take it a day at a time and see. He has come this far and is such a fighter we want to give him a chance.

He is currently using that leg and moving around.

I will post videos in the comments. Please note: the videos are graphic so be prepared.

Sunday update on our little man. ***WARNING this post contains pictures of his wounds**

First, I want to talk about how amazing our team is. Since I sent the text message asking for help on Friday, he has had round-the-clock care.

Our team has been there nonstop, keeping his stall spotless, giving medications, mixing mush meals, cleaning wounds, and taking vitals. They have also been loving on him 😍

His temperature was back up slightly this morning ,but he had just received his medications. We will continue to monitor it daily to ensure it stays under control.

He had a lot more dead tissue come off during cleaning today.

He is getting more mobile every day and was all over his stall through the night. He is now walking on his own to his feed, hay and water bucket.

We have made a wishlist for him. This list will be changing as he starts healing and his needs change.

We want to give a HUGE thank you to Berkley Chapel and their iServe team!

They came to the farm today and got a ton of projects completed.

They painted the new fence, worked on our flower beds, added new pine bark and a member brought their tractor and helped Wayne get pastures leveled and hay spots cleaned up!

The place looks amazing for our 2025 Tack Sale and open house.

Thank you!

Update on the little guy! ❀️❀️❀️

So pleased with his progress.

We will get a wishlist out soon if you want to send items for his care.

This will be a long-term rehab, but things are looking up!

Quick morning update on the new little one.

He finally laid down around 2 am this morning. We had to assist him up when he was ready.

Him laying down and taking the stress off his legs is a good thing.

He also was standing square this morning and bearing weight on his left leg.

He has been able to walk a little around his stall.

All really good signs!

Keep fighting little man!
