My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fancy is an owner surrender that came to us from Middleburg, FL with a severe injury to her left hind leg. Fancy is a Spotted Draft Horse yearling. Upon arrival, it appeared that Fancy had damage to her suspensory ligament, but upon further diagnostics performed by our veterinarian, we discovered the actual damage occurred to the peroneus tertius tendon. The doctor ordered 6-8 months of rest/modified activity, along with a fetlock brace for support and a shoe with posterior extension. The conformation of the leg will never be normal, and her prognosis is guarded simply because she is a young, growing draft horse. As a result of this injury, Fancy will only be pasture-sound. She will only be approved for a pet or companion home. *** Update: Overall she had a good report with her last exam, with some modifications to her routine. She will go back into the fetlock brace, but not the hock brace. She will also cut back on her turnout time. These are just precautionary measures as she enters another time of quick growth. We will allow her rest time without the brace as well to prevent growth restriction, as that could be equally as damaging. Her prognosis remains a waiting game as we see how that leg continues to support her growth. She will also remain shod with an extended shoe on that hoof for support. Fancy will only be approved to a home in which can tend to her needs, otherwise she will remain here with us.
