The story was all over the Internet about 30+ horses near Lumberton, NC, that had been found in horrible shape. As it turns out, this situation was more about neglect of the horses combined with old age and dementia in the owner. In any event, the effect on these starving horses was the same. There would be one bale of hay thrown out for 30 horses and the available water was green and putrid. The scene of these emaciated animals was hard even for seasoned professionals to take but the pictures tell the story. Of the three we took in, two lived. One we named Tess, one Kat (after the cruelty investigator who helped us) and a little pony mare named Ruby. Tess turned out to be over 30 years old and the stress had taken its toll on the poor girl. While here, she was blanketed, fed 5 small meals a day and watered. However, after only 4 days we called the Vet to put Tess down. We suspect that the 4 days of her life here, were the best 4 days of her life. She is lovingly buried here at the farm.
