On Saturday, September 1, 2007 visitors to MHR for the First Annual Labor Day Celebration witnessed a rescue first hand. A starved 20+ year old thoroughbred without a name arrived at MHR. She was part of a large number of animals seized from one individual. She was estimated to be about 400 lbs underweight. She was named Simba Marie by the visiting FOBs and settled in to her new quarters quite nicely.
She seems to very much enjoy her hay and vitamins. Simba Marie has been examined by a veterinarian and also had her teeth examined and treated. The vet recommended that the current diet be continued and that her only problem is starvation.
Simba is a companion horse only.
If you think you're the right match for Simba Marie, please read the Adoption Information page, and then contact MHR.
Simba Marie is being sponsored by Yvonne Burgin (Diane's mom!). Thank you Yvonne!
