Auction Horses Rescue's farrier bill!
Donation protected
It's farrier day at the ranch!
Proper farrier work is essential for rehabilitating horses after the long neglect they've suffered. While some horses can go barefoot, others require corrective shoes and pads -- to each according to their needs, oftentimes verified by veterinary X-rays. To ensure these horses are fully sound, or as sound as they can be, before being rehomed, is crucial to making sure these horses find their " happily ever after."
High Z, whose feet were nearly as long as Buck Tuddy Buck's at the time of rescue, has had a number of old abscesses cut out since his first trim, back in January. Today, there was a light at the end of the tunnel! Although a number of bruises are still coming to the sole surface, they're fewer and farther between.
Adele also got her first set of shoes, so her re-training can begin, and Never Kneeling got a full set of shoes, to give her weak pasterns additional support. As well as almost everyone else being due today.
All in all, today's farrier bill came to $625. We've created a GoFundMe page for this fundraiser, and thanks to Steve's $25 donation, have set the fundraiser for $600 plus GoFundMe's 5% surcharge. That's $630 we need to raise!
