This Spring, the rescue embarked on an initiative to reach out to rural communities that still use draft horses by placing an ad in a newspaper. Honestly, the result was a little overwhelming. Calls came from all across the state, with many locations being more than four hours away.
One call did come from a local family that we were able to visit. When we arrived, we were greeted by an underweight, Belgian gelding with an incredibly sore right front knee.
After negotiating a price, Solomon arrived at the facility and is currently in our new quarantine area.
Dr. Lauren will see him on Monday, and hopefully, we will learn why his knee is bothering him so much and come up with a pain management plan.
