Hello, we have a loving home for those 2 babies.
As you can see i have 4 children who would LOVE to have them. contact me asap
: I live in Northeast Kansas and have been
: searching the internet in hopes I can find
: an answer to my dilemma. A year and a half
: ago we took in two elderly quarter horses
: that had been neglected. According to the
: vet the oldest one (Red) is in his 30's.
: Although very thin (despite our efforts,
: weight gain has just not happened) he still
: trots to the feed pan and nickers when he
: sees me coming. He is also quite sound for
: his age and lack of conditon. The younger
: horse (Hank) is in his later teens but
: evidently saw some very hard riding at an
: early age. He is very arthritic and most
: likely unrideable anymore. I did ride him
: last summer some. He was great! But even
: light riding made him worse. I was hoping to
: rehabilitate them so that my children would
: be able to ride them. For awhile this was
: working. However, because the younger one
: needs desperate veterinary attention to
: manage his severe arthritis I really can no
: longer afford these two. I have had their
: teeth floated and kept up with deworming.
: They do need their feet trimmed again. We
: feed round bales free choice as they are out
: on pasture 24/7. Plus I feed them Nutrena
: Senior (5lbs/day). I tried several senior
: rations and this one has been the best.
: Especially for Hank. I know I'm rambling
: on. These two are very sweet horses but,
: because expenses are running too high I'm
: looking at having to get rid of them one way
: or another. My daughter is very distraught
: (well, so am I) at the thought of having
: them put down. If you know anyone who would
: like and can afford companion animals with
: maybe some light riding (they are both good
: with kids) please contact me! We have the
: room for these guys just not all the
: necessary funds at this time. Any
: suggestions other than, well, you should
: have known better, than to take on more
: horses, would be very much appreciated.
: Would consider trade for an easy keeper but
: we really don't need anymore horses at this
: time.
