Toffee has come a long way after her tendon injury that happend end of April.
She is settling well in the day to day routine with limited space to restrict her movement.
Even though she is comfortable in her environment she is still showing signs of lameness. Which is to be expected with a tendon injury.

We are arranging another raffel sale as we have a small amount still outstanding at the vets.
The raffle is as follows:
1 hour ride for 2 people @ R450 per ticket.
Please make sure to whatsapp proof of payment with contact details or leave name and number as reference.

Raffle will close 15 July @ 5pm.

Just a shoutout to everyone supporting us through this difficult time. Every contribution is greatly appreciated!
Toffee is doing amazing and we are hopeful for a full recovery. The vet will do a scan again in about a month and a half’s time.
We still have a far way to go to get the funds we need to pay the vets. We have managed to raise 50% of the funds so already feel like a mountain off our shoulders.

We will be running another raffle sale next week - watch this space.
Congratulations to Vicki for winning the first round! We are looking forward to taking you out on one of our beautiful trails.

Toffee is happy to be back home. Long road to recovery but thankful for the funds that has made a dent in the vet bills.
Please contact me directly if you would like to make a contribution towards this mare’s bills and recovery.

Back story:

Our beloved mare Toffee had an accident in her paddock last night where se cut the back of her pastorn and a small cut on the back of her fetlock - bleeding and sore but not so bad right? We can just get her stitched up and shower her with love and affection, right? Nope, not this time. We ended up taking her to the vets to get her stitched up and then got the call to say that that small cut we saw on the back of the pastorn is infact small but very deep.
She has cut a part of her tendon as well. The poor girl needs an operation if she ever wants to be able to move without pain and oh boy does she love moving.
Toffee has been an important part of our herd and has touched so many lives. She has taught kids and adults to ride and be safe and comfortable around horses. She has the patience of a saint and she is one of the riding school favourites.

We are praying for a full recovery and we stay hopeful that we will receive the funds for her operation.

Raffels will be announced 10 May 2024
