I just want to start this update by saying that I am amazed and overwhelmed with tears of gratitude with how well Zeke is doing. He has overcome so many hurdles we thought would take is life. We are so grateful to God for continuing to heal this boy. God could have taken Zeke at every stage that we know starved horses tend to have organ failure and die. All the cards were stacked against Zeke and he is still here! We are going to leave him in quarantine with wonderful Melanie for a while longer, to not uproot him yet and  risk a health setback. Please continue your prayers and good wishes for Zeke, as he still has much weight to gain and strength to gain. His need for 4 bags of Thrive feed weekly remains, at $120 a week. If you would be so kind as to help with Zeke's Thrive costs, we would be most appreciative. It is helping Zeke to gain weight at a pace that his vital organs can process and use.

Today our update for Zeke is that we can see slight weight gain, which is really good. He is on day 2 of penicillin and gentamicin antibiotics for his upper respiratory infection. Zeke has less nasal discharge and no coughing was heard today. He does have a large amount of swelling in his sheath today, which is disturbing. Zeke as given dex and banamine and had his sheath washed to help reduce the swelling hopefully. Your continued prayers for this sweet horse are really appreciated.

Zeke needs your support as he continues on the road to recovery. He needs four more bags of Thrive feed. Each bag costs $30.00. Zeke's vet bill was $245.00 total amount needed is #365.00.We cannot do this alone. Please help if you can.

We just received Zeke's  bloodwork results! The vet finds the results encouraging, so we will hold onto that piece of good news! Please continue your prayers and good vibes for Zeke.

Zeke continues to eat at a safe pace for his refeeding after starvation. He has made it for 7 days now, which we are very grateful for. Tonight he will be examined by the vet and a CBC will be done to see how his organs are functioning and what if anything, we can do to further help Zeke. Please continue to pray for Zeke that he survives and gets to live a long and happy life.  

If you would like to help with Zeke's vet bill and his continued feed requirements, please consider a donation today. We really appreciate it.

Zeke needs your continued prayers please! 

He is in the very capable hands of Melanie Witherspoon, whom we trust completely. If anyone can bring him through, Melanie can.

We did not want to risk having Zeke travel any further in his condition. God willing, Zeke will stay with Melanie at her quarantine facility for a while. 

Everything that can be done for Zeke is being done. 

Melanie reports that Zeke is in good spirits, she says he is very sweet and friendly.
She said Zeke is eating his Thrive and alfalfa and his digestive system is starting to work again.
He is drinking plenty of water so dehydration is not a concern.

We are praying Zeke does NOT lay down, because he is far too weak to get up. He needs to gain strength before he can lay down. 

Zeke's name means, "May God Strengthen." Zeke needs God to strengthen and heal his neglected and abused body. 

Your continued prayers for his survival are most appreciated.

We will continue to update, hopefully with only good news.

This one has us in tears! Not a mini, not a baby, but a young colt who needs immediate help before dying from organ failure from starvation. He isn't even listed on the kill pen page, he was going to be direct shipped to slaughter but a fellow rescuer (Thank you Retta Risley) saw him and asked to give him a price and a chance to live. He is $350. We couldn't look away. Look at his eyes, they say "Help me!" 

He will need a ride out of there quickly to a thickly bedded stall and a vet to assess him, a CBC to check organ function and other needs which will be $500+. Transport will be $600 to get him to Melanie Witherspoon's quarantine facility from Stroud, Oklahoma. He is too starved and weak to make it to us.

Who can help us save him please? He needs us and Now!! Every dollar helps. 

We have received $313.91 so far, please help if you can! Almost enough to pay for him. Transport can pick him up today for $675 if we can get enough $$ in.      PLEASE HELP!! 

We now have enough for his purchase price but need help to get him hauled out & to quarantine ASAP!! 

We must raise $561.04 for his freedom ride. Every donation matters!!

Thank you so much to our amazing ANGEL DONOR who has sent the needed funds for his freedom ride!  Quarantine fundraiser is next!
