Penny's story as it appeared in the November 2021 newsletter.   Sometimes life deals sad blows. The owner had a long list  of sad issues and to get help, she had to return to Ohio for  care with her health issues. She was down to the last few  days and had been unable to find a home for the mare.  HPS  will always help if at all possible in emergencies. 

It was not  a possibility to leave her with her husband, which could be  very detrimental for the horse according to the owner.  No veterinarian care had been done while she had the  horse. No vaccines or dental care had been done over the  years. Correct deworming is important and has been done  by HPS.  The mare is supposed to be about 14 years old and a  Quarter horse. She also has been by herself all the time the  past owner had her. She was so excited to see the other  horses from a distance. It causes extreme stress when horses are by themselves. It is impossible for a horse to feel safe  without a companion. She will be given Aloe Vera juice to  help the ulcers. Once she was dewormed and had her rabies  shot she was introduced to another horse.
