Remembering Lena
Lena came to us as a bag of bones after her owners no longer wanted to care for her. We worked hard to build up her strength through regular physical exercise and proper food, supplements and regular deworming. She was introduced to flexion and muscle building workouts both on the lunge line and from the saddle. Within a year she had regained her appendex AQHA confirmation and muscle mass. She gained 185 lbs with us and we noticed her attitude and aptitude both came to life. Sadly, when her owners reclaimed her, they found that maintaining that routine was too demanding on their schedules. They put her down in early February.
This happens way too often. Horses are put down because they are "too much trouble." Our mission is to educate the public with real life experiences so they are prepared to make the best decision when contemplating horse ownership. Lena could have easily lived another 2-3 years. We were happy to give her the best, last year she could have had on this earth. RIP gorgeous lady.
