HAPPY UPDATE ON RECENT RESCUES!
Dear Friend,

On January 17th we sent an urgent appeal to help with the rescue and care of two abandoned donkeys with amazingly long hooves that were years overdue for hoof trimming.  We also told you about a mustang mare that we assisted Animal Control in seizing from her own neglectful owner. 

Today I'm happy to give you updates on these special rescues that we were able to save with the help of our generous supporters.

 

 

This is what Twyla and Zizi's hooves looked like when we brought them to our ranch in Lancaster, CA.

And below is what they look like now.

 
There is still more trimming and shaping to come, but it's a process that takes time before their feet will be healthy and balanced again.

 
And this is what was taken off of their hooves.  More than 72 inches of crippling overgrowth. 

As for J-Lo, the mustang mare, you will remember that she also had terribly long hooves, but also terribly underweight.  This was the photo we included in our January 17th appeal.

And this is what her hooves looked like after being trimmed.

 

J-Lo has a long recovery ahead too.  Like the donkeys she will need multiple trimmings to get her feet the way they should be - healthy and balanced.  And she needs to gain a great deal of weight still - that will take a while but she's showing improvement already.

 

Thank you for helping us save horses and donkeys like J-Lo, Twyla and Zizi.  We are grateful and so are they!

Many blessings,

Jill Starr
