Help Jubilee and Her Foal Thrive
Tax deductible
Please help save Jubilee and her baby!
We have unexpectedly found ourselves with a dwarf horse expecting. This is NEVER ideal and not what we wanted, but she was surrendered to our ministry without us knowing this information. We have found a vet willing to care for her during her foaling but the cost for all of her upcoming care will be significant. If you can help, we would appreciate the support and love!
Pslam 145:9 "The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over ALL that He has made!"
This is how we transported Jubilee when we went to pick her up from her owner. Her owner called and asked if we would accept Jubilee as a surrender. Knowing her medical bills would be significant, we prayed about this decision and went for it. We fell in love with her instantly!!!
We drive 2 hours every 6 months to visit an incredible equine dentist (Dr. Moore) to help keep her teeth aligned. These bills range from $250-$1000 depending on what needs to be done. Thankfully our visits moving forward should be in the $250 range.
This is Jubilee's right front foot over a 6 month period of corrective trimming by Lisa Mittler. This has been a slow process with steps forward and backward. Lisa visits every 3-4 weeks to keep working on these little hooves. Sometimes we add extensions that take hours to glue on and sometimes she just trims. Either way, these hooves need CONSTANT care and time poured into them.
This is how we trim Jubilee's feet, we lay her down on her side. We didn't know in this picture that she was pregnant, which may be why she didn't get up for a while after we finished, she took a nice little nap.
Jubilee is currently at Oak Valley Vet waiting for her foal to arrive. This will be our biggest cost, especially if she ends up in an emergency c-section. She has an extremely high risk of having her foal get stuck and for multiple emergencies to occur. We are praying for a miracle that this foal will be delivered smoothly, but while we wait she is in the excellent care of Dr. Carroll.
