Free pony (Ashland )

Tryed to fix her feet but she limbs. Very sweet. But is cribbled. You pick up

Ohhhh boy. She is non-weightbearing in the photo. Yeah that doesn’t look good. It is hard to tell from the photo, but it also looks like she had a halter badly grown into her face at some point. :no:

The contact phone number is 330-421-6844, in case the ad poofs and someone wants to help.

oh that poor thing. :frowning: If there is someone local who was willing to show up with a vet to euthanize, I’d donate to that cause.

Oh my :frowning: I have about $3 on my paypal account and can’t put more in as I no longer have a credit card but I’ll contribute that little dribble to a humane end for this wee thing if needed. People suck :frowning:

Poor little pony. Stupid owners.

Yep, if I wasn’t on sick leave… I’ll chip in if someone wants tohelp. Poor thing!

You have a PM.
Can someone look at pony and see if it is an abscess or if it is a permanent injury?
We will contribute to putting pony down if it’s not easily curable. Better to be put down by vet than go to slaughter or starve to death somewhere after lingering in pain.
Too many of these on CL and a lot more not on CL.

I am not anywhere in the area, or even in the same state.

I’m good for a dribble if anyone can go find out what she needs-a home, a vet to euthanize, whatever.

I’m about 2.5 hours away, or 3 with a trailer. No way could she stand on a trailer that long on 3 legs, and I am not in a position to take on another critter anyway. I’m also not comfortable euthanizing without some kind of work-up to see what is the problem and if it could be addressed.

Ugh. OP, maybe you could edit your title to give the location and see if anyone nearby could help? Or really, perhaps this should be forwarded to local animal control.

I’m also in for dribble for someone to at least get this pony out of there and then assess for what’s going on.

We’ll donate a bit too, if someone can help this poor mare. She looks so terribly sore… :no:

I’ll donate a bit, too. Humans suck.

OP, you might want to send an email to SnarkyRider via her blog or her FaceBook page. She’s always been really good about getting the word out for cases like this.

Is that Toledo, Ohio? Does anyone know anyone near there? I’m in for a dribble is someone will help or if necessary, ruth.

One of my horses acts like that when he has an abscess. (Then he gets a bute and a soaking and he’s good to go.) Hopefully the little mare can be saved if someone will call animal control or if someone local will take our money to pay vet to euth if it’s serious or permanent lameness.

I believe it is Toledo, OH. If someone wants to go out and needs reinforcements, I can go. I am super busy and wouldn’t be able to do it until next Saturday though, and I’m hoping she doesn’t sit that long in this condition.
:frowning:

Ah poor thing!
I was right there this weekend at my friend’s camper.
It is about an hour and a half from my home.

I could probably go get her but I cannot keep her.

Any update on the pony?

What’s happened for the pony? This is one of the most awesome things about COTH. I see people from all over the place pulling together to make things happen for a pony no one has even met. Go COTH.

If we can line up a permanent home, I can go pick her up and have the vet out and get her rehab started (if she’s fixable). I just cannot keep her permanently.
