Every so often I start to think that I am not doing
everything possible for my horse. I feel guilty that I haven't taken him to the vet hospital to really figure out what's going on, or consulted more vets. And then a post like this pops up on my Facebook feed about an owner who did NOTHING for their horse. The picture is what caught my eye:
An emaciated little horse who looks to be...napping maybe? But no. This is a two year old appy filly who was found FROZEN TO THE GROUND for an unknown amount of time in Utah. Her mother, also emaciated, was standing nearby. The two were rescued and brought to
Dust Devil Ranch Sanctuary for Horses. There aren't any pictures or updates on Elsa on their website, but there is an option to donate by paypal on the bottom. Their Facebook page is regularly updated:

This story just breaks my heart, and seeing all the volunteers and workers holding the 300lb horse up, as she can't stand up on her own, breaks my heart. How can people in this world be so cruel? Especially to animals. How could it have gotten to this point? Please go to Dust Devil's website and donate if you can, you can specify whether you would like your donation to go towards Elsa and her mother, or their general fund. Hoping the best for this little girl and that she gets to enjoy the carefree and healthy life she deserves.
