Thank-you. That is so kind. I don't nornally do fundraisers (for charity yes, but never before for for myself or individuals) but she is just in such a desperate situaion! And no matter how careful/sensible you are re vet funds and insurance, no-one could predict a sequence of events like this.

AE did I understand that right that both her other horses were hit by cars/ vehicles? 
Ample Prosecco

Yes. She was travelling to a BE100 when a man died at the wheel and hit her head on. Lorry overturned. Both she and the horse were badly hurt. Still no insurance payout because of endless legal wranglings around problems with the dead man’s estate.
Then she was hacking Bertie as part of his rehab and a driver hit him and didn’t stop. The damage to his leg aggravated the back injury over the next few weeks and he went lamer and lamer, till vet re- xrayed and said he now had stress fractures in his spine and could not recover. A week later Cass was diagnosed.

That's really shocking and like you said incredibly bad luck and not a sequence of events you could have predicted. I hope her luck turns for her. Sounds like she really deserves some good luck now.

Such rotten luck. Hope the target is reached and the surgery is a success.

I’ve left a donation too but sorry it’s not more. What terrible luck for one person and so tragic. I hope Cass gets the surgery he needs.

Thank you so much. My friend is blown away that complete strangers are helping out with donations and post shares. She is incredibly touched.

I'm glad I know you AE because if I saw that history for a GoFundMe I'd assume it was exaggerated. But your friend has suffered 3 of my worst nightmares in a row and I can't sit on my hands any longer. I've made a small donation and I'll keep my eye on the total and top up more if the total doesn't get reached.

I have also made a small donation, what an unbelievable sequence of events that like YCBM says sounds almost as if it could be fictional if you didn’t know her in real life. Bless her heart.
I hope the total is reached.

Thank you both so much. I agree it is scarcely believable that one person can have so much bad luck. Cass has no risk factors for OCD. He’s quite small as the mare is only 15hh. He’s lived out 24/7 all his life. He’s had the best start any youngster could have. He is such a sweetheart too.

That's another thing I can vouch for as well as yourself. The grazing your youngsters have been on is, forgive my language, as rough as a badger's arse. It simply can't be bettered for a young horse, it's incredible bad luck to have OCD.

I hope that your friend's luck turns around for both her and Cass.
Sorry that the donation isn't more, Chip apparently thinks whoever has the highest vet bill wins

@TPO, with Chip’s no doubt expensive issues, to donate at all is extremely kind. Thanks so much xx

Small amount donated. Unfortunately, it's an expensive month for me. I'll see if I can manage a bit more later in the month.

On nearly two thousand now, with an anonymous donation of £500 recently. I think she might get the lot at this rate

I know - the response has been unbelievable. Neither Cris nor I know the person who has donated £500. (I can see the name even though it is anonymous online). I can’t believe anyone is that generous to someone they don’t even know. It’s very humbling.
