Bess hurts her leg- 9th April

4/10/2009

0 Comments

 

On Thursday afternoon Bess was found in the field unable to walk. When we called the vets they came and took x- rays and found she had both broken and dislocated her pastern. This is extremely serious but after consulting a specialist they decided there was some hope and that she would be able to be kept alive if she could have an operation to try and repair the damage. This would mean a lot of money and a long period of recovery but due to Bess being a favourite pony at the stables and also due to her patience and bright spirits while being treated we decided to give it a go. At homework club at the Church of the Ascension the vicar came and said prayers for Bess so it was an emotional time for all.

    Bess

    Bess is a favourite horse at the stables but unfortunately she has seriously damaged her lower leg whilst in the field and is currently at Bourton Vale Equestrian Clinic waiting for an operation. Please help her by donating money towards the cost of her operation as without the operation she will have to be put down.

    An easy way of fundraising is to use the two websites below. Both will raise money for the stables if you use them when you are shopping or searching online. Al
