Feedlot Fillies
Below are the photos of 2 fillies that FCER pulled out of a slaughter feedlot, while working in conjunction with two other rescue organizations. Both fillies are sick, and currently receiving vet care. The pretty palomino will be continuing her journey to Arizona and New Hope PMU Equine Rescue when she is recovered. The black filly, a Percheron/TB cross, will be staying on at FCER. She will be available for adoption when she has completed rehabilitation. A special Thanks goes out to Amber, at Shiloh Acres. Amber goes to the feedlot weekly and pulls out the horses she can. She's a very courageous lady.
Update - April 2008 Pandora, the black Percheron/TB cross has found a wonderful home with one of our volunteers, Nicole! She is adjusting nicely, and Nicole loves her dearly. The palomino filly, Reign, has left FCER to continue her journey to New Hope Equine Rescue in Star Valley, Arizona. NHER will find Reign her forever home. Congratulations to one and all on saving these two beautiful fillies from slaughter! |

Horses Seized from Residence
|
New Mexico Livestock Inspectors seized 4 horses and 5 llamas from a residence off the La Plata Hwy on Jan. 2, 2008. Working with Animal Control officers from the San Juan County Sheriff's Office and Four Corners Equine Rescue, all the animals were taken to Animal Haven Clinic in Farmington for evaluation and medical treatment. Of the horses, there is one 9 year old mare in very bad shape. Her body score is a 1, and her chances of survival are questionable. In the same pen with her was her 3 year old son, who is in better shape, and should make a full recovery. Remarkably, the mare did not test positive for pregnancy. In another pen were the 30+ year old blind mare and her 6 month old foal. The mare is rated as a 2 on Henneke Body Score Chart, and should recover. However, the blindness appears to be permanent. She is using her foal as a seeing eye horse. The baby is also expected to make a full recovery, although she is pretty wild, and difficult to handle. The investigation continues. Sadly, one llama was dead at the residence. UPDATE - Ownership hearing postponed. Owner arrested on 10 felony counts of Extreme Animal Cruelty on 2-21-08. Sadly, two more llama have died. One had severe scarring from parasites, the second had 10 pounds of baling twine in her stomach and a piece of wire. The wire pierced the gut wall. UPDATE - April 25th, 2008 Annie Sullivan pleaded guilty to 5 misdemeanor counts of Animal Cruelty in District Court. She was sentenced to 5 years of supervised probation during which time she was odered not to own any animals -"not so much as a goldfish" according to Judge Birdsall. She was also ordered to pay restitution to FCER, the vet clinic, and the Aztec Shelter. FCER is currently in the paperwork process of getting the horses signed over to us.
