KT'S Lone Cedar Rescues, SE Nebraska Horse Rescue

Meet The Filley NE Feedlot Rescues-Rescued 3/20/07 and Ongoing           

                  MEET DELAWARE

Of the approximate 250 horses at the feedlot in Filley, It was said the Brokers didn't want her and left her behind.  Delaware is an elderly mare with a  sweet personality. She loves to get her attention and is willing to hang out with you as long as your willing to love on her and give her her apple treats. I brought her home on Saturday 3/24/07 to put her in quarantine from the others and to get her started on the care needed to get her on the road to recovery. First thing we did this day was wormed her and got her settled in to an area to relax and settle in. As you can see, she is severly underweight and sunken in at the back area ofstomach/front hip area, and is going to go to the veterinarian on Monday for an overall checkup. Welcome Home Delaware!! You are now safe and on the road to recovery. I will update you on her progress......We Love You Delaware!! UPDATE!!!! 3/26/07-Delaware has been to the Veterinarian Clinic in Bern KS for her Initial Checkup.......The Vet thought Delaware was 19 to 20 years old. She had her teeth filed because she had a problem with eating. She had areas in her mouth where teeth were pretty wore down but would eat fine after having teeth floated. She was also preg checked because it was said at the feedlot she was bred and could be pregnant, YEAH!! No Baby! Because she is so poorly built in the back side, she has an infection so she is being treated with antibiotics for the infection, no temp so that's a plus. She had a procedure done and stitches put in to keep her from getting another infection. Between the infection, her teeth, and the fact of having worms, Bots and Stronoids or bloodworm, are what he felt caused her weight loss. She is to be wormed again in 2 weeks with Quest and then in another 2 weeks, Equmell. Vet said he felt she could make a full recovery. She was a Wonderful patient at the Vets Office. Mamma was proud of her. Your in Mama's Prayers Sweetie!! SPONSOR ME!!

     MEET BLUE DESTINY

Blue Destiny is believed to be between the ages of 3 to 5 years. She was rescued on Tuesday when I went to the Filley Feedlot to help with the rescue effort of the horses. Destiny is a very sweet personalitied girl and loves her attention. After each day I spent at Feedlot I would spend time with her to let her to let her know she was safe. Destiny reached a point in the during the week where she would seek me out for attention. Dentiny also assisted me with working with a Filley, Annie, at the feedlot that had an initial imprinting and first lesson in halter. She assisted with biting the lead rope to help hold the rope to Annie. Thanks Destiny!....lol. It was believed she was at the Fairbury Auction in October and being sold as a Green Broke. This beautiful girl was named by Lin of EPONA Horse Resuce and Heather of Angelheart Horse Rescue.  Blue because she is a blue roan and white paint and Destiny because she has finaly reached her Final Destiny.  

                                                                                              

    WELCOME HOME DESTINY

        YOU ARE NOW SAFE...
