You Cute Rascal

June 2nd, 2010 4:44pm

Today we picked up a red dun gelding that we guess to be an appendix from a temporary foster home in Watkins. "Rascal" had been pretty much abandoned at a boarding facility by his owner and the boarding facility had obviously stopped feeding him. The City of Aurora Animal Control was able to step in and save Rascal's life. He has been in foster care for two weeks and has received a full check-up including vaccinations and farrier work. They guess that he is about 17 years old and otherwise we don't know much about the guy. We do know that he has good teeth appears sound and has no medical condition that would contribute to weight loss. He just wasn't fed.

CHR's vet put Rascal at 250 lbs. underweight. Today he weighs 832 lbs. He seems in good spirits, is very well mannered, and is eating well. He loaded onto the trailer easier than any horse we can remember. We're already being won over by this handsome guy. Stay tuned for updates and more photos!
