Please don't fundraise or contribute to fundraising for the purchase of horses! Read why here.
DescriptionLucy was an older Quarter Horse mare from the kill pen who was probably in her 30's. We were told by a previous owner that once upon a time she had been a champion barrel racer. When she landed in the kill pen she was in very bad shape. She had Cushings, very bad arthritis, glaucoma, and she was very thin and neglected. Lucy was lucky enough to find a home that was willing to take her on and rehab her. Unfortunately it was quickly determined that Lucy was past the point of humane rehab. She wouldn't lay down because it hurt her too bad to get back up, she wouldn't stop pacing and panicking over her inability to see, and she stopped eating what little food she had previously been willing to consume. After a particularly bad couple of nights, it was determined that Lucy's best interests would be served by the Rainbow Bridge and she was put down.

When bringing home a new equine it is always wise to practice quarantine procedures.
Horses coming from an auction or kill pen environment present a higher than average likelihood of having been exposed to disease or virus.
It is highly recommended that all horses purchased be subject to a 30 day quarantine prior to being introduced to healthy equines.
