Maggie

Maggie is one of the horses that came in from the Filley Feedlot in April 2007.  She was one of multiple mares that had be indiscriminantly bred by whatever stud happen to mount her.  She is 27-29 years old and foaled a sorrel colt on May 18th, 2007.  

 
We had been fighting to get weight on Maggie and finally sent her into foster care when her colt was old enough to be weaned.  She did wonderfully there for a few months, but in December when we got the cold weather, Maggie started to drop weight again. She has been brought back to the Rescue. 
We have started her on dairy quality alfalfa and 6 lbs of senior feed twice a day.  We will be increasing her senior feed consumption next week.  This costs close to $200 per month.  She desparately needs a Guardian Angel to help cover her needs.
 
We are raising funds for Maggie's feed.  We need to raise $2400 for her food for the 2008 year.  This breaks down to $200 per month.  Help us feed Maggie!

Update:

  Maggie went in to the vet's office on 3-11-08 to have her teeth looked at and a physical exam.  The vet checked her teeth and said that Maggie was way older than we had thought.  She did not have any back teeth left and he felt that she probably wouldn't put on much more weight than what she already had.  He felt that we might get another year out of her, but that her quality of life was pretty much gone.  We humanely euthanized Maggie instead of making her fight for maybe another year.  RIP Maggie.
