Volunteers and Deliveries
Volunteer Brenda F.: It was easy not to
forget about Hurricane Katrina and Rita with all the news coverage, but this disaster does not
have it. |

There are five horses there in our
care that need daily treatments -
hydro therapy, cutting away dead,
burned skin, ointment applied to
burns, hands to pet and soothe. In
addition to this, many of the people
who have horses up there are trying
to take care of them themselves and
they need daily visits for
assistance, medical supplies,
encouragement.
Here volunteers are doing hydrotherapy
on one of the injured horses.
On this horse, you can see exactly
how high the fire was it had to run
through. The legs have been treated
and are medicated to heal the burns.
Many horses' hair is completely
cinched and manes and tails are like
glued together.
This gelding's genital area is
completely burnt. Many mares were
also burnt the same way and their
foals cause them a lot of pain when
needing to suckle for milk. For that
reason, we are in desperate need to
provide milk replacement to the
mares.
Feeding time requires medicating as
well.
A badly needed delivery of alfalfa
hay from Kansas finally arrived.
Many ranchers and farmers pulled up
to pick up badly needed feed for
their animals.
