Meet Blue and Dusty who arrived in April 2021 from another rescue that could no longer afford to care for them.
Blue is a 10 year old half mustang half Quarter Horse gelding who was rescued from a very abusive man who thought it was a great idea to just whip him to get him to do what he wanted. He also carved a brand into Blue with a knife! Eventually this person abandoned Blue, because he was difficult to ride and always tried to buck him off. After examination by the vet it seems Blue has pinched nerves and a damaged vertebrae and should never have been ridden.
Dusty is a stunning and charming 11 year old Quarter horse. Dusty has suspensory tendon disorder in his back legs making his fetlocks slope down to the ground. He is in no pain or discomfort this early in life, but the vet said no riding, to preserve his comfort and allow him to live as full a life as possible. The condition will some day cause full lameness but with proper care he can easily live happily into his 20’s
