It has been a rough 24 hours at HRU…we had the vet out for another emergency call this morning, as Jilly was painfully limping and in distress. 😞 Dr. Nico from Coastal Elite examined her and Jilly is dealing with a bowed tendon/tendonitis. 🦵

Jilly will be on strict stall rest for about two weeks. To keep her calm and more comfortable, her best friend Dodge will be stalled next to her and he’ll have access to a roundpen with grass. Special thanks to one of the farm boarders for generously offering them this space while Jilly recovers. 🫶

We do not have Jilly’s vet bill yet, but our vet/farrier bills for Charm alone total $1,200 (not including her cremation/removal costs).

Please visit https://www.horserescueunited.org/Sponsor if you can help with a tax-deductible donation via Venmo, PayPal or our Amazon/Chewy wish lists. 🤲

Thank you to volunteers Clint, Lisa and MaryAnn for all of your hard work and time to help Jilly today. 💜

We are so sad to share that our mini resident Charm was humanely euthanized late yesterday. She was approximately 31 years old.

Charm was colicing during evening feeding, so the vet was called out. They determined she had sand impaction colic through clinical signs (severe dehydration, shock, pale gums, diarrhea, gas) and tests, specifically a very high blood lactate test. All signs indicating an imminent risk of rupture and damaged/poor blood flow in the intestines. Charm was able to enjoy a few minutes of grass before passing peacefully.

As you may know, Charm had a number of health issues, including chronic founder and white line disease. We still have $545 to cover in vet/farrier bills from her recent illness and will incur additional expenses (likely upwards of $1,000) from yesterday’s emergency visit/euthanasia/removal/cremation.

Special thanks to volunteer Lorri for picking up on Charm’s condition and to all of our volunteers for all of the extra daily care over the past few weeks especially. Charm is now reunited with her best friend, Joey, who passed just last year.

30+ year-old mini horse resident Charm has been battling chronic founder and white line disease. She recently had an extra farrier trim due to founder rotations in her front hooves and two vet visits. To cover these costs, we need to raise $600.

Thank you to farrier Raz Moldovan for making a special trip tonight to trim little Charm. 💜 He took some extra toe off to help re-balance her feet after founder rotation.

Our current vet and farrier bills for Charm total $487, and the vet will be doing a recheck on her tomorrow. 🐴

If you can help with these bills, visit https://www.horserescueunited.org/Sponsor to make a tax-deductible donation via Venmo, PayPal or by mail. 💌

Remember Trolley (right)? 🥰 HRU founder/president Anouk rescued this pony from auction in late June 2010. She had a gaping hole in her head with a sock stuffed into it/glued on.

Thanks to two surgeries by Dr. Patricia Hogan, Trolley’s wound is much smaller. She was adopted as a beloved companion horse on Christmas Day 2010 and has been in the same great home ever since. 🫶

Volunteer Debbie working on building trust with Pickle and Byrd thanks to alfalfa 🤗

These two 30+ year-old STB mares are an ongoing project for our volunteers. Pickle is very defensive and always protective of Byrd, who is friendlier, so we are slowly trying to make in-roads. 🫶
