If you're not willing to risk it all,

She could still run but it was clear that she had some serious health issues and would never become a Guide Horse.

My Vet, Dr. Chris O'Malley and my Farrier Danny Harmon did not have a good prognosis. They had never seen such a deformed horse before and O’Malley’s initial reaction was to euthanize the sad little pony.

I was always taught to take people at face value and I was known for trusting a person until proven otherwise.

Now I was cursing myself for my gullibility, having been taken advantage of. The woman knew that I was an animal lover and that I would provide the health care that she would not.

Of course, I could not allow Bluebell to be killed. Danny and Chris gave the prognosis.

“If I work with Chris we can tear-down the horns and attempt to rebuild a set of new feet. He will need special trimming and custom hoof attachments every week for at least four years, and possibly for life.

The total cost will be about $1,500 per year, and I can’t guarantee that she will ever walk normally. To start, we're going to cast her legs down to her hooves and make the cast into splints because her joints are so weak.”

Vilka hovar kan hästar ens få sånna? stackarn. "Hon har några få promblem med sina hovarna men dom fixar du lätt", jo'visst tror inte det precis. Asså trodde allvarligt den här handlarn att han kunde lura någon att köpa ponnyn genom att säga att den har LITE problem med hovarana, vem som helst kan väl se att dom ser helt missbildade ut och att det kommer kräva mycket för att dom där ska bli fixade. Stackars Bluebell hon måste haft riktigt ont.
