Dear Redwings Supporter,
May I introduce you to Mora, one of our rescues in 2011. Mora is a beautiful twelve-year old Arabian mare who lives at our North Monterey County satellite facility where she is cared for by our volunteers along with five other horses.
Like many horses that come to Redwings, Mora brings with her a history of neglect, abuse and abandonment. She was unwanted and heading to an uncertain future because of an injury she suffered previously when she seriously damaged her right hind knee. We believe she sustained a possible fracture, that was untreated and which left her permanently damaged.
We know this injury is painful because of the way she stands and tries to take the weight off the leg. We have started her on a course of donated massage sessions and that is helping her somewhat and we have been administering bute to relieve the discomfort. In addition we would like to do some diagnostics to discover the extent of her injuries. By taking X-rays we may be able to target her pain and relieve it.
In addition Mora has a tumor that if left alone, will cause problems deep in her ear. There are several ways to treat this tumor, but the best is to surgically remove it, and then treat it with a medication to keep it from returning.
The diagnostics, procedures and after-care may cost up to $2000.00 and this will take a substantial amount of funds from our Veterinary Care budget which we use to treat and care for all of the horses and burros at our Sanctuary.
We know that you as a Redwings supporter have helped us in the past with individual veterinary procedures for our very special equines through our “Baby’s Memorial Health Fund” and now we hope that you will again be generous and help Mora with your donation. If you are moved to help this beautiful girl and write a check to support her care, please note in the memo field –“Baby’s Fund” – Mora.
We thank you for any amount in this time of need.
Sincerely,
Michelle BeaglePresident, Board of Directors
