This lovely creature is Sapphire, a 9 year old Arabian mare who was rescued from a neglect/abuse situation. She came to us with lacerations around her hind legs from being tangled in rope, several feet of her tail burnt off, and some alarming behavior. She’s been sequestered at NWESC for the last seven weeks while Dr Hannah worked on her injuries and got her accustomed to being handled and now she is at SAFE Harbor, where we have finally gotten to see her sweet side! She’s being handled very very carefully, but she has made tremendous progress since her rescue. Welcome, Sapphire!!
I can’t see Sapphire’s video. WHAAA! 😉 Do you know how tall she is? I am excited to cheer her along her journey of recovery.
Oh she’s so beautiful! How could someone abuse such a beautiful horse? And burn off her TAIL?! Ugh.
