5 years ago we unloaded Kaloni from the trailer to her new home with us, and she collapsed on arrival. She was a frail, emaciated and exhausted horse with hepatitis, a lung infection and the worst case of sand impaction our vet had ever seen. The first vet who saw her told us not to waste any money and she wouldn’t make it. She was diagnosed with COPD and we thought we would only have a short time with her.
Slowly over time, with treatments and medicine, and with help from many of you, she became a different horse.
This year, the vet said her lungs have improved significantly and she is in fantastic health. She is around 22 now.
Kaloni has been a major inspiration for me since I met her. She has never let anything keep her down and refuses to give up.
I have never seen another like her.
I hope we have at least another 5 years in us, old girl ❤️
