miniature horses - 3

We found sweet, pregnant Bluebell at Lonestar Kill Pen in Texas. We knew immediately that we needed to help her before she became sick or hurt. Thanks to wonderful donors, we were able to raise funds within a day and send transport to get Bluebell out of there. Bluebell was taken to safety at Melanie Witherspoon's quarantine facility where she is in very good hands and getting all of her needs provided for. The vet will be out soon to examine little Bluebell and hopefully give us an idea on an estimated due date. Please keep Bluebell in your prayers that she does not come down with the kill pen crud. It would be very bad for her to get sick while pregnant. We look forward to the day she finishes quarantine and can come to the rescue. We can't wait to meet Bluebell!

As it turns out, Bluebell is not pregnant. Her second ultrasound was negative. She has some dwarf characteristics, one of which is the swollen looking abdomen.  Their intestines continue to grow even though the rest of their bodies stay small.   She enjoys her life here at the rescue. 

***Bluebell is available for adoption to the right home. 

️ HELP PLEASE!️

This poor starved and foundered mini mare needs a lot of help! She is at a horse auction tonight. We can't unsee her!

Someone starved her to the point she is very weak. Her founder is so bad, her hooves and soft tissues have to hurt a lot.   Somebody let her hooves grow out so severely that they curled over and somebody used a saw and cut them off before they brought her to auction. What living soul should suffer at the hands of man this way? This makes us so sad and angry!!! 

PLEASE, help us win the bid against the kill buyers tonight, we need to help her, Village! She will need x-rays, pain killers and a really good hoof trimmer after we get her safe. We need your help, please donate to help her.

We won the bid! We have this little girl paid for and about to load onto transport to the rescue. Because she is in poor  condition, the transporter is getting her out of the auction grounds tonight. We have raised enough for transport now, (thank you donors!) and only need to worry about getting enough donations for the vet to come and examine her, do bloodwork and take x-rays of her coffin bones in the foundered hoof capsules. Then we will have the vet and farrier confer and decide how to trim her badly neglected hooves. But tonight.....first step is getting her to the rescue, getting her comfortable in shavings and giving her hay and water and hugs! Please help with a donation for her veterinary care needs and her farrier work she will need, if you can. There is a Donate button at the bottom of this page. Thank  you!
