Meet Baleka. This beautiful mare had an unfortunate fall on the road with her rider.

She arrived to the unit end of July with a severe knee injury. Our vet did multiple joint flushes to try clean out the septic joint fluid which she was able to get close to normal again. However she was still very lame so the next step was for Baker McVeigh to came out to take x-rays.
Unfortunately x-rays showed a horrible fracture of one of the carpal (knee) bones and multiple places of reactive bone so we had to make the difficult decision to put her down with the permission of her owner. It’s never easy to put down any of our patients, we do what we can and sometimes euthanasia is our only option.

Rest well beautiful Baleka ❤️

Big thank you to Skye for the gorgeous tack donation! 🙏🐴 Your kindness is truly appreciated! ❤️

REMINDER OF THE STORM'S AFTERMATH

Remember the intense storm that hit us hard? We're grateful to report that with the help of our amazing donors, we've made significant progress in repairing our paddock shelters! 🙏

The generous donations of poles, shade netting, and iron sheets have literally brought our shelters BACK TO LIFE 🌟 Our horses now have a safe and dry place to seek refuge, and we're incredibly thankful for your support! 🐴❤️

However, our work isn't done yet! We're still in need of materials to finish repairing our tractor shed. Specifically, we're short of:

3 x 4.2m poles
2 x 3m poles

We're reaching out to our wonderful supporters to ask for your help. 🙏 Can you donate towards the purchase of these poles or provide them directly? Every contribution will bring us closer to completing the repairs.

A huge thank you to Mr. Jonathan Kelsey from Joekels Tea Packers for your generous donation of three bags of bulk Rooibos tea to our unit! 🙏💚 Your support means the world to us, and we're grateful for partners like you who help us keep going every day . The Rooibos tea will be put to good use, particularly in helping our newest resident - an underweight horse who recently came to our unit. The benefits of Rooibos will surely aid in its recovery and well-being.
