Sox came to FCER neglected and starved, along with 2 other horses from the same pen. Shy and distrusting of humans, she kept in the background as much as she could. Sox came around slowly, and finally found a home where she would be asked to eat grass in the pasture and live out her days. And so she did. In an ironic twist of fate, Sox broke her neck and had to be euthanized on Sept. 18th, 2010, the same month she appears on the 2010 calendar. Godspeed, Sox. May you run through green pastures free from fear for all eternity.

Current Events
Three Starving Foals
On 7-13-2010 volunteers from FCER assisted New Mexico Livestock Board Brand Inspector in the rescue of 3 foals in Kirtland, NM. The foals were taken from two different residences. Both owners told investigators that a man from Shiprock had 5 mares and foals, and was getting rid of the foals so he could sell the mares (probably for slaughter). Two of the foals remain unaccounted for, and are feared dead. FCER took the foals to Animal Haven Clinic in Farmington, where they required intense veterinary attention. IV fluids were required daily for the rest of the week, in addition to milk, milk pellets, hay and water.
Pete's had a tough time of it lately. First he suffered a severe injury and was lucky enough to be saved by a Good Samaritan. Now he's at FCER, only to find out he has another problem.

Cocoa Comes to FCER
Cocoa had on a halter that was too small, and from what information we can gather, it had been too small for at least a year. She is also about 150 lbs. underweight. The vet removed the halter, and although the wounds look gruesome, she is recovering.
The Northwest New Mexico United States Bowling Congress held a tournement benefitting Four Corners Equine Rescue. Above is a photo of Vikki O'Neil, Tournament Manager, presenting a check to Terry Coburn of FCER while Old Son looks on and contemplates whether or not paper tastes good. Thanks to all those that donated!
