Sapphire

Sapphire came to us in October, 2020.  She was found alone, without her mom, at only a few days old.  She was so sweet and responded well to our care, but within a week it was clear that something was wrong.  With x-rays it was determined that little Saffy was likely born up to a month premature.  As a result, her bones were not fully  developed and as she grew and gained weight, her joints were collapsing.  Tragically there was nothing that could be done and she had to be humanely euthanized.
In spite of not being able to help her in the end, we will always be there to try and to do our best for all the horses such as Saffy that come to us in need.
