Vanessa's Story

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Vanessa is a beautiful Arabian mare we intercepted from auction through our Buy Out Program in February. She came to us with a few scars on her legs and long front hooves, but was otherwise sound. After completing her month of quarantine, she was brought down to the main facility and was seen by our farrier. Our vets observed that she was walking heel first, rather than stepping toe first. Though it made her feet a little sore, our vets found nothing concerning and she was approved for her adoption!
Vanessa's Story was only possible due to the support of our generous donors. The role you play is pivotal in rescuing, sheltering, and protecting horses. Remember, horses like Vanessa get a second chance solely because of compassionate individuals like you. We urgently need your continued support.
We rescue horses of all species, ages, training levels and colors. No animal is ever turned away at our Open Admission Shelter!

    Agreed Lori, horses are a great thing for youth and Vanessa is destined for a great life. Until COVID I was honored to work at BBTRC, a similar Center as Temperance runs. I was in bliss. The whole operation is wonderful, and a low key atmosphere as well, which Vanessa wil most likely love. She is finally at peace.

    I'm going to guess that Vanessa might be a Hackney rather than an Arabian. Her injuries are consistent with an accident under harness (back legs & under tail) & that is where Hackneys are usually shown. They also have a lot of Arabian-like qualities. Just a guess, she's a doll no matter the breed (or combination of breeds) & you did great to rescue her. May her new home be one of daily delight!

    vintagelady=ja, könnte möglich sein mit dem Hackney 50% und Araber50% Blutanteil. Ich dachte eher an polnischer Vollblutaraber Linie vom Exterieur + Bewegung + Interieur her. Warum der Schweif so extrem kurz ist und dauernd so hoch steht...vlt ist Schweiferübe gekürzt....? Ich weiss es nicht.-- Auf jeden Fall wünsche ich VANESSA ein wirklich GUTES-FÜR-IMMER-ZUHAUSE😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

    I was thinking of Vanessa's age of 16 years. When I worked at a stable/riding school, a part Arabian, was still fine at 25. Was just having to start being fed more of a senior diet due to teeth aging. Hope she does well at the riding camp.

    My riding instructor told me that after about 12-13 is when Arabs start to come into their prime. She had a 25 year old mare that she bred and she was still being used as a “teacher” horse for her granddaughter. I personally think she was far too old to put through a pregnancy but she handled it like a champ. Vanessa still has a LOT of life and love to give her new owners.

    I’ve owned and ridden horses most of my life. This experience of over 50years includes a huge variety of breeds and disciplines. I also worked for a therapeutic riding organization and my developmentally delayed daughter actively participated in the program as well. I say all that for this: I’m so happy that this sweet mare is going to what seems like will be a caring home, but she is an Arabian or part Arabian, which is a hot and spirited breed. Typically, hot blooded horses aren’t chosen for therapeutic riding programs for obvious reasons. She fits within the ideal age profile at 16 years, but I think she was adopted out extremely fast and before being brought to optimal health, e.g. demonstrating tenderness in her hooves on her adoption day. I hope HPHS does their due diligence in following up on this mare’s recovery care in her new home…a video would be nice. 😊

    I'm a farrier with 14 years of experience. A heel first landing is the correct way a horse should land, not a toe first landing. If it's a toe first landing, both tendons are being tightened at once, rather than one then the other like a pulley system. Try running around on your toes. Naturally, you hit heel first, too. A horse landing toe first has pain at the back of the foot so she was hitting correctly, its just not completely normal due to her long toes. I think Dr Lydia is excellent at what she does, but that isn't correct. I think what she's probably trying to say is that once the breakover is back farther, she will be able to hit heel first and ROLL off the toe like she should. Horses are supposed to hit heel first, though. Oftentimes, when a horse is very long, if you change both the breakover and the heels too quickly, they can get ouchy because it is too much too soon.

    It's great that a rescue was able to be rehabilitated so easily. I was surprised that you didn't realise that cutting her feet back to the maximum may induce lameness. Think of a super model who has worn stilettos for years, trying to run a marathon. Horses tendons and ligaments need more time to compensate for the chages of angle and depth of hoof wall. I realise that your farrier is a professional and so did a safe trim. I am more trying to point out the pitfalls for people reading your story, who may try to do too much correction in 1 trim and then work the horse. You can completely wreck tendons and do damage to the joints, which could be irreparable. I have seen horses in severe pain after the angles of the hoof being drastically changed by inexperienced people. So much damage can be done by people who want to rehabilitate horses and other animals too quickly. I truly don't mean this information as criticism of anyone in this instance only wanted to point out the problem and explain to people the pitfalls of trying to change neglected animals lives too quickly

    Judith, they did realise, which is why Elijah did a gradual trim and why they stated Vanessa would have further follow up farrier care in her new home. The adopter has commented saying Vanessa has been having diligent treatment for her feet, which she was advised to do by HP. You said you weren’t being critical, yet you opened your comment by saying you were surprised HP didn’t know trimming Vanessa to the maximum would induce lameness. HP explained Vanessa was being trimmed gradually for that very reason.
