This is Frack an 18 year old Arabian Gelding virtually starved and neglected. He was surrendered on 11/4/2001 and the sickening part of all this, is he came from the same individuals who surrendered Gizmo to us seven months ago. His feet were long due to lack of trimming, he had horse bites all over his body that were left untreated and several have become infected.
This horse with his soft brown eyes should despise human beings and all that we represent, but he is just the opposite. He is gentle, and while tending to his wounds he stood patiently as if he knew he was being helped. He is receiving several small meals throughout the course of the day and with each meal even with his head in the feed barrel he is talking to us, almost as if to say Thank You. He now is housed in a clean pen, by himself where he does not have to worry about being beat up by another stronger horse. He receives his food and has clean fresh water. He appears to be adjusting well to his new surroundings and has even began talking with his other barn buddies. We will provide everything we can for Frack, but it will be up to him to accomplish the fight to survive. His rehabilitation is going to be a long road, but once he comes back into himself he is going to make someone a wonderful, wonderful horse. We will continue to post updates on Frack's progress as he even takes the baby steps back to recuperating.
