spending a few dollars to buy feed, hay or medical attention, they took her into a partially wooded and partially residential area of town and let her go. Thankfully, a police officer saw her wandering the streets and ordered the pick up. A local Judge turned her over to Habitat for Horses.

She has a large cancerous growth in the vaginal canal that continuously drips blood, matting her tail and giving off a horrible odor. As you can see from the photos, she's in extremely poor condition, what we would rate as a 1 on the 1-10 scale. She's almost given up on this life, yet there is a spark still burning in her eyes. That gets to me, as it would you. Beaten, starved, thrown out of a trailer and left to die, she still walks up and looks at me, wanting to believe that somewhere there is a good human to take care of her.

The other message I hear is one I can't answer. "Why?"Habitat for Horses will do everything we can to make her last days comfortable, perhaps even happy if we can pull her out of her depression. She might fool us and live another five years. If she does, and I pray it might happen, she will never again see a whip or feel the pain of hunger. Thanks to your dollars and your support that spark of life might once again be a burning fire.
