Horses we love remain with us, for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade, because a loved horse is gone...Horses we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they'll live on in our heart. Ever wonder what the Rainbow Bridge Is?
Euthanasia is always a hard, traumatic, sad, and tough decision to make. However, sometimes it is the most compassionate action one can take. Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue is faced with this sort of decision once in a while and it is always well thought out before any kind of action is taken. We visit with the vet and farrier to get their opinions as well when faced with a euthanasia decision.
GUIDELINES FOR EUTHANASIA:
Does the horse have chronic pain?
Is there chronic or severe lameness?
Has there been, or is there a severe injury?
Does or will the horse have any quality of life?
Is the horse dangerous to itself or others?
Is the horse's pain curable?
What are the financial responsibilities for the horse?
Ash is severely neglected Thoroughbred gelding. Approx 12 years old. He has had surgery at some point on his left back stifle and may not be ridable, it is too soon to tell the vet said. He needs to gain several hundred pounds as well. He has stalled 24/7 for 7 years and is enjoying time outside now.
Belle is a 42 inch mare. Her age is unknown but we are guessing 12 plus years. She is very friendly and came in with Flashy and Asia. She is a great looking sorrel with a flaxen mane and tail. She has also arrived foundered and will be in rehab for many months and then will start looking for a good home. She will be a friendly and good candidate for a child pony as she is very tame.
Baby colt slick was born at the rescue on May 3rd 2010 at 4:44 AM. Slick's mom is Bonnie who arrived at the rescue last fall already bred. Both mom and baby were doing well.
Gracie is 100% blind and had bad feet. She now has a new special paddock with rocks around the perimeter of the fence, feeder, eater and shelter so when she hits rocks she know to slow down and beware. She loves her new paddock and shares it with 2 very close friends. She is feeling so comfortable now and she is running and bucking for the first time in her life! She is a very special gal.
Asia arrived with Flashy and Belle, thin and foundered. She is also 42 inches and very nice. She will need months of rehab before she can begin her quest for her new home. She is very quiet and nice. Her age is unknown but estimated at 12 plus years. She has one blue eye and one black eye.
Trixie is a 11 year old mare who arrived with her 6 year old daughter. She has foundered in the past but is doing fine. She will not be able to have grass anymore but grass hay would be perfect. she is ore pony sized and is a bit guarded upon arrival but warming up now.
