ANIMAL CONTROL Called Us to Save This Emaciated Horse | Is She Too Far Gone?

[@janetsmith7808]

I knew she was a well-bred Arabian mare but never guessed the age. You go girl!

She may be thin and weak, but she is a BEAUTIFUL Arabian. She seems alert and willing, just love her.

Yeah, I thought the same! She's somehow still gorgeous!

She’s standing. That right there is a good sign. Sick of people not giving them up before they are in horrible shape.

This girl is gorgeous, even as thin as she is you can still her regal stance, Arabs hold themselves so proudly and it always stands out....

[@wonny84]

Agree 100 %! That was my first thought when I saw her as well!

[@alysabrumfield9607]

I own a breeding pair of purebred Egyptian arabians they have the beautiful large eyes dished muzzle. I was thinking of the potential this horse has until I found out the age. If she was younger she would have made a superior brood mare

Head up Baby Girl

[@leavrhovec4992]

​@@alysabrumfield9607So you only see value in a horse is if it's fit for breeding? Of course...money, money money, that's all the horse world is about...This poor mare came here frome God knows where, obviously starving and in need of security and tender care, and all you can think of is "Oh, what a lovely horse. I wonder if she can be used as a broodmare to be used and used until she is no longer capable." Breeders and the way they talk about the animals they breed disgust me.

[@annepettit3855]

Teeth teeth teeth!!! A 32 year old horse probably has no grinding surface left and can starve on lush pasture because they can’t chew and therefore digest it. So many people don’t know this!

[@karaamundson3964]

Properly designed food will address this, and I'm sure that the rescue vet is well aware of how to help her.

[@M.Campbell]

Yes. She appeared to be on pasture. Her hooves are good so she's had some care. It has to be her teeth or some chronic illness.

[@lynngarza3489]

This !!!

[@InTheGarden1960]

She looks Egyptian bred, and she will come along faster than you think. She would have Nabor, a stallion somewhere in her pedigree, holding a Grey gene. I owned Bri-Sha Arabians. We were a show and heritage farm, until divorce it us, lost all but one of my stallions and 23 mares and 9 yearnings. I was devastated. I wish I could help with funds but I can't, so I will share with my community and pray. May the Lord bless you with abundance and financial support.

[@lindielou2054]

Bless you, i know exactly what divorce leads us to lose and it is devestating, animals get hit harder than we do. I lost my treasured dog sasha in my divorce and when i was in a position to go get her back i found that my ex husbands other half had indeed starved her almost to death and the rspca took her and she died in the kennel maids arms a month later, i will live with this horror for the rest of my life. Needless to add, i was promised faithfully that my dog would be cared for until i could find suitable accomodation for my children and of course my angel girl, alas she was gone, i will never forget her.

[@InTheGarden1960]

@lindielou2054 So sorry for your loss. Hopefully, things will get better. I am lost without my foals. They were the best and so loving. They would follow me everywhere and even came into the house and walked around investigating, I had a stud colt that loved to look into the full mirrors in the dining room. Best wishes to you and yours.

[@soledatbernie]

I'm glad you mentioned the plan is to get her teeth done. When I saw you haltering her on that lush green pasture, I immediately remembered something people in other rescue said: you can have a horse living on a lush green pasture and they will starve if they have bad teeth. And considering her age, I guess it's possible there is not much teeth left. And poor old lady, if she spent big part of her life with her brother, it had to be hard to loose him and not even have different horse for comfort.

[@JezaGaia]

When I saw it was an arabian I had hope, those horses where bred to be able to survive anything. Also coming from a desert they thrive from very little and can sustain longer periods of little food. Longer than the average horse anyway. It's a testament to that incredible breed that she managed to survive the neglect and starvation specially as old as she is. It was heartbreaking to see and l’m so glad things ended well for her.

[@teresahiggs4896]

Yes I thought that too! She’s such a beautiful Arabian! And 32 years old!

[@andreagagne2377]

32? This old girl deserves so much better.

[@lunaandstella825]

She seems to really like seeing other horses. For being in such a bad condition she’s very alert and excited. She’ll be so beautiful.

[@kristawilson718]

Oh my goodness, she's calling out to other horses! This breaks my heart.

It's so frustrating that someone could allow a horse to starve and decline to this point without surrendering her to someone. I'm so grateful that she is with you now.

[@hummingbird_chirps8520]

I believe that this beautiful mare became depressed after her brother died; Subsequently, her Mind, Body and Soul was not nutured, but neglected. Her spiritness and pride became apparant when she saw the horses... she now has the strong will to live... such a sweet girl and those big innocent eyes... love her! 🦋💜🦋

[@blip-2024]

We had that situation many years ago, we had our old mare euthanized. She was 33. Her brother stopped eating properly, his heart was broken. We tried everything! Blood work, teeth checked, changed feed, dewormed again etc. They had been together his entire life, he was depressed and wouldn't eat. It took time and lots of love to get him interested in life again. He celebrated his 35th birthday April 2024 is doing great now slurping down his special "Grandpa porridge"

[@UnderTheBlueBeanBush]

It hits extra hard to lose a lifelong companion, but horses are also herd animals, so they will always suffer if they are left alone. A horse should have a companion of some sort, even one of a different species if there are no other horses available.

This horse is so beautiful even in her present condition. I hope it is possible to help her.❤

[@dvillebenny1445]

Just from the bull pen shots this was a very nice mare in her day. First she has a very nice neck coming out high from her shoulder with an above average Arabian head. She has a long back with a typical high withers dues to her age and neglect. This mare has a long and level croup with a well placed high tail.Her hind quarters are well set, with a bit long gaskin and high hock, although she seems to have a long reaching stride that can reach under her barrel. Moving to her from end. She has a long well sloped shoulder. From the point of the shoulder to the elbow is clearly long and should offer this mare extension to her stride shown by the ability of her knee to move beyond he front of the point of shoulder. With 30 years of breeding Arabian horses, she is actually other than underweight is in good shape for 30+ years old. I'm guessing from her over all behavior in the video she has been handled at some time in her life. Feet are in good shape and she is eatting well. Best of luck !
