Mother and
Son Left Abandoned
This mare
and her 16 month old son, a stallion, were abandoned by their
owner at a boarding stable in Newberry, FL who left the horses to fend for
themselves. Fortunately, Bart, a very kind man, noticed the two Mustangs becoming
emaciated and began feeding them. He contacted WHR and Diane
drove north to bring them to our rescue.
Thank you Bart for your compassion and kindness for these beautiful
horses. Both Mother and Son are continuing to gain weight and will
be receiving vaccinations, dewormings, and Coggins. Rowdy will be
gelded. Both will be available for adoption.
