The beloved Salt River stallion with the old injury is in his forever home 💙 Thank you donors and supporters! Thank you volunteers, and thank you Simone for the update.<\/p>\n
And no\u2014we are not euthanizing him. If we made decisions like that so hastily, none of our rescues would be alive and well today, since every one of them was once in a dire situation. (and in many cases the vet said \u201ceuthanize.\u201d ) No vet has said that in Wind’s case, so there is hope, and we will also take input, in case there has ever been a comparable case like this before anywhere. We wonder if a brace will be best, or a simple soft boot, or perhaps even surgery, we are not excluding any option at this point. But first he will get some time to rest and get acclimated before he graduates to bigger goals and larger arenas.<\/p>\n
But of course, we also know when a horse truly needs a peaceful ending, and we\u2019ve made that choice numerous times before also. But with Wind, we will exhaust every possibility first\u2014and right now, even with all the changes, he could not seem happier.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what we will give him to thrive:<\/p>\n
Wind will have friends.<\/p>\n
He will have spaces to explore.<\/p>\n
He will have love.<\/p>\n
And he will be more comfortable than he\u2019s been in over 10 years.<\/p>\n
(Pretty fly mask, right? 😍)<\/p>\n
