Hi All,
I sent the below e-mail several months ago asking for any assistance you might
have to offer. I have since contacted well over 100 rescues to no avail. I fear
Cisco's time is running out. If anyone out there has a suitable place and can
offer this horse a home, I urge you to contact me ASAP. Thank you,
Sandi
Hello
My neighbors have a 13 yr old leopard Appaloosa gelding. A couple of years ago
he had an injury during a thunderstorm and ruptured his spleen. He nearly died
through a bleed out, but after 2 blood transfusions he began to heal. He has
come back to being mostly normal, but the bleed out left him with retinal
degeneration and early cataracts. Additionally he is no longer able to be
ridden due to discomfort when weight is on his back. Cisco seems very healthy
and full of life, however, the owners of this little guy have decided that they
cannot provide a safe environment for a blind horse. He still has sight, but
presently it is distorted and the prognosis is total blindness.
They have allowed me to try and find a safe and forever home for him, but if
one is not found they are considering euthanasia. I feel this is not right, he
is a fun little horse, loves people, will lick you to death. He's playful with
other horses. He will try and dominate but backs off pretty quickly if there's
a leader in the group. He is also a bit skittish with veterinarians and farriers,
but he's kind and sweet
Can you offer any assistance for this horse?
Thank you for your consideration,
Sandi Forester
