 Ralphie: rescued
from the Hayman Fire. This old and emaciated gelding was found as FRER evacuated animals threatened by Colorado’s worst
fire. Turned over by his owner, FRER placed him under veterinary
care for severe malnutrition and unhealed leg wounds. Ralphie was fully
recovered within several months and adopted by a wonderful family along with
Black Beauty in 2003. Before and after photos above.
Woody: small bay gelding
found in a barren field during the Hayman fire, extremely emaciated,
probably within 24 hours of dying from malnourishment and lack of
water. Thanks to Park County animal control, Woody was impounded and
turned over to FRER for rehabilitation. This
fiesty little horse showed great spirit during rehabilitation,
recovering from one choke episode and a 4 day illness which left us
fearing for his life. After 8 months, Woody was trotting during turn
out and eventually began cantering and giving playful bucks with his
rescue friend, Ralphie. Adopted in 2003 by a loving new home, Woody is
an excellent companion to a Thoroughbred recovering from a leg injury. Before and after photos above.
