Frosty needs our help ASAP! Skinny & in a hoarding situation.

I responded to an email of an older malnutritioned horse needing immediate help on the 1st and spoke to a wonderful woman, I will call her E for privacy, who went to visit a friend and was shocked at the deterioration of this horse.   The owner agreed to let her step in and help.  E spoke to several local rescues and none were able to take Frosty, but one gave her suggestions of how to help get weight back on with soaked pelleted foods.   Yesterday, we bought those feeds for Frosty with the help of their local feed store since the other rescue did not.

Our initial goal was to help stabilize his condition and get some weight back on him because the owner didn't have the funds for the feed, but was willing to mix it, soak it and feed it.  In the meantime we were going to contact more local rescues to see if they could step in and help.

This changes the matter to an urgent one.  We can no longer wait to see if some other group is willing to step in and oversee his recovery.  Even though this is a holiday weekend, we are hoping to go get Frosty and make the 300 mile round trip to Camp Verde to do so.  E is going to talk to the owner to relinquish Frosty to us and once he is safe, E will work with the authorities and family to get more help for this woman.   Frosty's safety is very important and working with people with such illnesses is a balancing act that requires finesse.

With a couple days of good feed in his system and slightly cooler days these next few days, transport should not put him at further risk.

We need immediate funds for transport, medical care (vet check & blood work) and ongoing food needs.  If you can donate to help Frosty we truly appreciate at it.  Sadly it is the passing of Max that gives us the room to help another horse in desperate need.

UPDATE as of 1pm today (7-3-14)  I was informed that Frosty is blind in one eye AND there is a second older horse named Duncan, mid 20's Morgan gelding, that the owner just today agreed to let leave with Frosty when we come to pick him up tomorrow.   Yes, that means we will have two additional horses to care for in addition to the other eight here already.    

You can click to donate through PayPal or send a check to PO Box 2722, Snowflake, AZ  85937.

Let's get Frosty and Duncan their independence on the Independence Day holiday weekend!

Thank you so much for helping these sweet horses.  Your generosity sustains these horses!
