We got a call last night that Arne has been "down" much of the day in the
lower pasture that was donated for us to use this past summer. Due to space constraints at our farm (too many horses dropped off that we
did not plan on), we have been unable to bring back the six sanctuary
horses that need to be here so urgently. Arne suffered a severe race injury approximately seven years ago to his
rear hock. His hock, swollen with scar tissue the size of a small
football, seems to particularly ache with arthritis throughout the winter.
The owner of the farm where Arne is located is worried about him being
unable to get to food and water. We will go to his aid at noon today, and
bring blankets and administer some bute. We implore anyone who can foster or adopt to come forward to the farm to
help us ease our population so that we can get Arne and the other horses
home to more closely monitor them throughout the winter! Sue
