Meet Our Rescues: Stories of Hope and Love
Schatzi (Sweetheart in German)
Meet Schatzi, a 19 year old bay Dutch Harness mare we rescued out of a kill pen. She was set to ship out to slaughter with only 3 days to spare. When she arrived at Rainbow Crest Farm Horse Rescue (RCFHR) she spent most of her days lying down. After the vet did a full evaluation of her, he determined she had severe tendonitis in all four legs. He prescribed a year of rest. Thanks to a year of pampering, hoof rehab, and a diet fit for a queen, she's now back in action and loving life – and guess what? She's finally doing what she was born to do: driving!
Fritz
Our second rescue, Fritz, a 20 year old dark bay Saddlebred gelding, we also rescued from a kill pen. He still bears the trauma of a buggy accident that damaged his right eye socket and left him tender on his entire right side. His stance was 'canted' (imagine an elephant perched on a ball) as seen in the picture above, indicating he was in pain. He required several equine chiropractor adjustments and extensive hoof rehabilitation to bring him relief. He requires additional grain to keep the weight on and he certainly looks forward to his meals!
Although he is a bit jumpy and nervous at times, he remains a gentle spirit with a heart full of resilience.
