Does anyone remember the poor filly my aunt was trying to save?

This fall I had posted about a horrible auction I attended with my aunt. I also posted about a foal and mare in awful conditions. My aunt was trying to save the foal but had to wait until she was able to be weaned to get her out of there. We checked on her often and watched her mother failing. It was quite sad. Well at Christmas my aunt brought her home. She is doing so well and I was able to go and visit her this weekend. I took some recent pics of how she is doing. The only major problems my aunt has had is a severe infestation of worms that she has been taking care of. She is just a doll and I truly hope she proves to be the horse I think she will be. Her name is Ebony
We are still checking on mom and hoping her condition improves. As I said before my aunt tried her hardest to obtain the mother as well but the stable owner refused. He said that she was worth too much in revenue for him because she was gentle. REST ASSURED HHO WE HAVE OUR EYES ON HIM!


ok....it seems my phone is giving me trouble atm sending the new pics to my online album. I will post the before and make a new post in a bit with the recent ones. thank you for looking. We casnnot save them all....but saving one is better than nothing.


Before when we first found Ebony

Here she is with mother....note how thin mom is. She became even more so. My aunt beagn to take special feeds there for her...all we could do is HOPE that the owner gave it to her.

has your aunt talked to the ILPH - with the new animal welfare bill they may well be able to get the mum off the owner as well
 
The american Humane Society has far more teeth than the rspca and aren't afraid to use them

litigation rules in the USA

the owner of this mare ought to be prosecuted
 
Awww what a little fluffball!!! She is one very lucky filly to have you and your Aunt looking out for her and her mum. Well done to you guys and fingers crossed that mum gets the care and attention she deserves.

yes I agree. we talked at length about what to do and decided that if they seized the horses or they contacted him and he moved them my aunt would lose the filly. we were there often and are now checking on her. Now that the filly is out we can call anytime we feel it needed. And we WILL rest assured. I am not afraid to get involved. I suspect she may have a terrible worm problem but I am not a vet. I would also like to point out the fact that I voiced my opinion to the owner and spoke my mind to the fullest. he also observed me taking pics on a regular basis and Each time we came out they were in a cleaner, safer area. My aunt and I are hoping that now that she is back with his regular herd (he owns a riding stable) she will be cared for better. Also hoping that not having to nurse will help her. Fingers crossed. we (as I said) will be on top of it.
 
very good luck with her - hope he looks after her better - but if she's in a riding school then she might start to look better and be worked harder than she can stand too soon - poor thing

the foalie looks lovely btw - you should end up with a nice pone there once she's recovered from the weaning and the poor condition.
 
Dear little girl, she is very lucky.
Hope something can be done for her poor mum, that is so very sad. Shocking condition
Owner should be "shot"
