Sandy and Teddy Bear
SANDY CAME TO US AFTER A COMPLAINT ABOUT HER BEING DOWN AND EMACIATED ON 12-08-2008. THERE WERE FOUR OTHER HORSES IN THE PASTURE WHERE SHE HAD BEEN ON 12-08-2008. ALL HORSES WERE UNDER WEIGHT BUT SANDY WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. THE OWNERS SAID THEY HAD MOVED HER THE NIGHT OF THE 8TH. I ASKED THEM TO TAKE ME TO WHERE SHE WAS. WE MET AND I FOLLOWED THEM ON 12-10 TO SEE HER CONDITION. WHEN WE ARRIVED I KNEW SHE WAS IN REAL TROUBLE. I ASKED THE OWNERS TO SIGN HER OVER TO ME SO WE COULD GET HER BLANKETED AND IN A SHAVING FILLED STALL. (she was in a metal carport with a wet muddy floor and it was so cold and raining outside I knew she would not have made it through the night if she laid down and maybe not standing) THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO KEEP HER AND NOT BEING ABOUT TO GET A SEIZURE ORDER AT NIGHT I RELUCTANTLY AGREED AND GAVE INSTRUCTION AS TO HOW TO KEEP HER ALIVE (HOPEFULLY) FOR THE NIGHT. AS I WAS LEAVING I STARTED PRAYING ASKING GOD TO PLEASE CHANGE THEIR MINDS LET ME JUST HAVE HER. WELL PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY DRIVEWAY (about 40 minutes away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except at grain time they go to their own stalls to their own buckets so smart they are) WHEN THEY GOT TO GO OUTSIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME SHE WOULDN'T GO WITHOUT TEDDY GOING FIRST.THEY STILL HAVE ALONG WAY TO GO BUT ARE WELL ON THEIR WAY TO FULL RECOVERY.

Sandy down again us trying to get her up she is just to weak to stay up for very long.
THIS IS THE FIRST DAY SANDY AND TEDDY BEAR HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE SINCE THEY CAME TO US. BOTH HAVE BEEN TO WEAK UNTIL TODAY. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND THE OTHER HORSES WANTED TO SEE THEM. WE LET SANDY OUT FIRST WHEN SHE SAW THE OTHER HORSES SHE TROTTED BACK TO HER STALL. SO WE LET TEDDY OUT SHE WENT OUT WITH HIM. WE ARE ONLY HAVING TO HELP TEDDY UP ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY NOW. SANDY IS GETTING UP ON HER OWN ALL THE TIME NOW. 12- 27-2008
