Update on Abuela from Sam

This weekend I found Abuela on her stable floor, she didn’t want to get up, was very lethargic and in obvious pain. We called the vet and he gave her pain relief and she’s had 24 hr care, but we had a few very scary days of trying to get her moving and keeping her cool. She is terrified of water from a hosepipe and injections, so as you can imagine, stressful times for all!

After 3 days she was asking for food and was quite annoyed that she was being given small portions but at least she was up and moving about. It’s so hard when they look at you with huge eyes for help but she knows she is loved and cared for.

Abuela is a special horse who is 30 yrs old. She came to us about 4 years ago emaciated and coved in ticks, scared and not knowing what was happening to her. She had obviously been left without food and water for quite a while so it’s taken a long slow process to get her back to health. Every action scared her but through patience and love she is the most grateful and loving of horses.
