Thanks ever so much to Jay Vosseteig for providing the truck and trailer
to get the Amish gelding, Randy, to his new foster home near Ontario!
Thanks to Jeff and Kim R. for providing their home! He was out in the back of the barn eating from a pile of manure mixed with
hay when we arrived. He appeared weak while walking, but stepped right up
into the trailer. When he unloaded, his back legs also appeared to be
very weak, and he swayed. We are hoping that a good solid diet and a
deworming program will bring his strength back. A farrier will pull his
shoes and the vet will be called to pull a coggins right away. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he is merely weak, and isn't showing
signs of EPM. I don't know why that thought crossed my mind as I drove
home....hope it isnt, as we haven't seen EPM in horses for the past ten
years. Before that, we received several horses into our care who had it,
but all except one recovered from it so it CAN be treated. Thank you everyone for your continued support!
Pictures later today!
