#RehabRoundup - let's check in on the horses currently in rehab at the rescue
Rehab Complete Sterling - 11/11 auction save, 23-yr-old gray gelding, emaciated, weight gain. Sterling has had his teeth floated, and is gaining weight well. He could still gain a little but we are removing him from rehab and making him available for adoption!
Nelly - 34-yr-old Arabian mare, choke. Nelly continued to show eating problems after her choke so we had a dental exam done and found she desperately needed a float. She's doing well now and off rehab.
Medical Cinna - 11/11 auction save, 5-yr-old QH gelding, swollen/injured leg. X-rays showed no bone or joint injury, just a large untreated wound. Had surgery on 1/3 to open the wound and remove scar tissue to encourage healing and decrease the size of the leg. Consider a donation to help: https://givebutter.com/cinnasurgery
Benny - 16-yr-old TB gelding, navicular/lameness. Lameness seems more in left hind/right front, and left hind had a tendon injury, so continued rest and will revisit treatment and options in spring. We have noticed several days with no limp, so are somewhat optimistic that he is healing.
Behavior Lucy - in pasture, calm and friendly. Much calmer when bonded friends removed from pasture and accepting attention even in a group of friends without aggression. Has been accepting the halter over her nose and not showing any aggression when her friends are removed and actively seeking attention from people. Goal: Dakota Showdown 2024 prospect.
Kody - in pasture, calming, and curious. Physical condition fully rehabbed, working on friendliness. Is being caught and brought in, and had his first (lightly sedated) meeting with the farrier.
