Rescued Horse before after...

My Baby Dutch warmblood crossed Thoroughbred. Got him from a rescue center who only had him for 2 months before I saw him and picked him up.
was badly starved beaten neglected. left in a feild for 3 months to starve
when Rescue center picked him up he was skin and bones and they thought he was going to drop dead. Born with a crooked leg. used as a hunter jumper and was worth 50 000 dollars. people got him and trashed him ran him into jumps and trashed his knee.
I got him december 22 2006. bad legs horrible mud fever,still skinny. Ugly dull coat... scars on his body and face.. soo sad he is mine now, and he will never be given away . pictures of his body doesnt look soo bad because of his winter coat but his body was like a zyliphone. feel every rib in his body... poor Baby


Before pictures dec 22 2006.

Yes....like everyone else has said .....you have done a wonderful job.....
It certainly shows that he is loved....

He looks like he is quite the character and you have given him the chance to let his personality shine.
