When I heard about this boy I had done a 12 hour day darting cheetah driving for 6 hours to get back home to hear this boy needed help. This of you who know me know I have no directional skills it was getting dark and my phone was out of battery.
When I eventually found him on a community farm he came straight to me and I fell in love. His flexor tendons were destroyed and the hole in the back of his leg was big enough for my fist. I was alone and there was not much I could do he stood patiently while I gave him medications and I promised his mum who wanted to rehome him to a good home and couldn’t afford vet care that I would be back.
With my first bit of phone power back I messaged Phillipa and told her we had to do something!
So we did …. We did a big something! We rehomed him, we gelded him and we painstakingly debrided and bandaged his leg.
And now look at our boy go! And I couldn’t be prouder of him, and of Phillipa and her team who are tireless in their efforts to help the horses and donkeys of the Eastern Cape at all costs!
