Abraham
As a 17-year-old Haflinger, Abe has known the highs and lows of being adopted. Abe was the organization's first rescue in the Fall of 2013 and was quickly adopted in the Spring of 2014. After four years, Abe was returned when life threw the adopters a curve ball. Abe was once again adopted in 2020 but was returned again in 2023.
Abe returned with chronic Lyme disease, which he is being treated for with antibiotics. While he is feeling much better, he still has a long journey to being completely healthy.
Louie
As only a 13-year-old Thoroughbred, Louie has been thrown away not once in his life, but twice.
For reasons unknown to us, his racing career was short-lived. He ran in only two races, placing third in one. When he was purchased by his previous family, he seamlessly transitioned to a lesson horse where he thrived. He loved the attention and was the go-to horse at the barn where he was boarded at. That all changed when he unexpectedly and suddenly became lame.
Without being able to be ridden as a lesson horse, which offset his family’s boarding fees, along with the expense of trying to diagnose his lameness, Louie was unwanted and once again pitched to the wayside.
Several months after arriving at the rescue, Louie started showing signs of being in pain. The once outgoing boy that we became accustomed to, would barely venture out of the barn.
He was diagnosed with Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), a neurological condition that disrupts communication between the brain and the spine. Louie underwent several rounds of treatment, and while much better, will always suffer the neurological effects.
