Colt rescued from year-long sling horror (warning: abuse, deceased horse)

Sadly it is. The good news is one of her ex-stepsons is in the Canadian Harness Racing hall of fame and retired to be an excellent race commentator at Woodbine Mohawk who still jogs horses in the morning.

OMG :heart:
Look at him go.
His legs look so much better/stronger.

Update from RRR
Asombro is looking much better after just a short time.
Can’t wait to see how he looks in another couple more weeks with quality care.

Horrifying and confusing. I didn’t see where the details of why he was in a “sling” were posted, but hopefully he is able to make a meaningful recovery.

The mentions of Monica Thors… shudder.

@BeeHoney, here is a screen shot of someone answering that question when I asked it at the beginning of the thread.

Another update on him in the last day. I hope they can get his hind feet trimmed as well soon.

the persons named sounded SO familiar and when you google the name it loops you right back to a thread here on COTH from 2014

Which persons name?

Monica Thors.

There’s a 2020 or 2021 thread about Ms. Thors, too.

The COTH Curiousity snagged me & I Googled MT :dizzy_face:
I was tempted to look for the FB page, but decided against it. Wisely.
Many years ago a young nitwit at the barn I boarded used a Dremel on her horse.
With similar results.
TG the Trainer stopped her at the first sign of blood :flushed:
WTF is wrong with people?
Nevermind, there’s no logical answer.

I might need an Asombro t-shirt to cheer me up :pleading_face:

Used a Dremel? To do what? I’m confused.

Trim their hoof down to nothing I assume since that is what the other person being discussed did.

Uh. I heard of using tools to trim and I’m sure this can be done good. But “down to nothing” sounds like bad use of the tool :smiley:

The woman was/is seriously mentally ill.

Read this and you won’t be smiling.

Google her name and you might see some info that isn’t shared in the COTH thread. I know the Facebook group is long gone.

Trim hooves.
Quicker than a rasp.
Safe when used by a competent person.

Gosh… I’ve read this article… And I honestly thought “down to nothing” was an exaggeration. It’s not… Horrific.
