Okay, so you know that mare in my last post? The Easy Jet one I call mama? Well, she was dying. Is dying. She's dying and she's only 20 years old...We don't know if she'll make it. But my sister is doing everything she can to make sure she does. Here's the story:

I called the caretaker of the place last night telling him that she hadn't moved all day or eaten her feed, she was laying in the same spot in her excrement and was barely eating her hay. He freaked out and headed down but he's hours away, so he gets there in like, the middle of the night or whatever. Anyway, apparently this morning the sheriff made a stop out there to talk to him about the condition that a little mare that they were keeping was in. She was literally a skeleton with skin pulled over it. It was horrible to see. She's now at a barn of a trusted horseman and is being fed and cared for. After that happened, the guy took Mama to the vet and the vet threatened to turn him and the owner in to county if they didn't euthanize her or send her to someone who would take care of her. So, my sister, ever faithful to creatures in need, called them, and said she would take her. The owner said she could have her and Mama is now at my sisters friends place, in a clean pen, eating hay happily, and drinking all the water she can. She's getting shots to help with the pain she has, and she's getting all sorts of horsey vitamins and other things to help her get into a better condition. A farrier is coming out tomorrow to look at her feet and see what he can do with them, and we're hoping she'll make it. We're fairly certain that if she can make it through tomorrow afternoon, she's going to be okay. If she doesn't make it, at least she's going to go comfortably instead of knee deep in her own shit. If she does make it, we're going to take her to a vet and see what we can do about her infected blind eye. They'll probably have to take it out, but we don't know yet. Everyone please pray for her.

On a happier note, I get to hang out with one of my friends I barely get to see during the school year this weekend Plus, I'm working a Haunted House this Halloween. I'm super excited. How is everyone else doing? What's going on in yalls lives?



UPDATE: If we can save Mama's feet, we can save her. If the farrier can't save her feet, then we're going to have to put her down....I'll update again once the farrier gets back in town and looks at her.
