Heart Land Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation

2/25/08: JENNY: The 2 pictures above and one below are of a mare found starving in a pasture in Osteen. As you can see, her top teeth are just nubs. She has suffered from a severe leg wound to her left hind, which is still swollen, neglected hooves, and severe saddle sores. She is currently being fostered and we are looking for a loving home to adopt her.

Zoe, September 2007

Zoe's pasture mate was about to be buried alive. Authorities were notified, but that horse was euthanized. Zoe, on the property, was seized, and turned over to Heart Land.

Lady, Sept 07, 1 week after rescue

Lady's owner used the excuse for her poor condition that she was old (33). However, poor Lady, who has  only 4 teeth, was fed only once a day and lived on a property with no grass and she received little hay to supplement her diet. In addition, she had to fend off 3 younger horses and did not receive a special senior diet. Upon rescue, she began receiving 6 small meals that were soaked with water so she could properly eat!

 Lady's feet had not been tended to in a long time. The hoof on the right is before trimming, look at what the difference proper hoof care makes, with the one on the left having just been done! 10/07

Teddy is a real sweet heart! He has an infection from an injury to his chest that we are treating, and once he is healed, we hope to evaluate him under saddle. He should make a nice childrens mount.
