And if your hearts and pocketbooks allow Louisiana Horse Rescue has 30 plus of these horses and babies and also need funds to support this massive rescue effort immediately and for the weeks and months to come.

NO pictures are on the link above.

Despite round the clock medical care with LSU Equine Vets and staff, 3 of the babies have sadly died at the Folsom Farm that took them.

I am going to Folsom, LA tomorrow to help care for 4 horses with pneumonia.
LHRA is also looking for volunteers to help provide scheduled care for these horses.

And Remember Me Rescue reports they are on route back to Texas with 4 other horses.

That's great. Now if they'd only challenge other tracks to match their donation imagine how much could be raised...

Out of a nightmare comes a Jewel.
Baby born to Dance Recital one of the mares on the Many farm. She is the only mare to retain her pregnancy. Dance Recital is sired by Dynaformer out of a Manila mare. She weighed 40 lbs. They are at a mare care facility in Folsom, LA.

Thanks for the news and photos! She looks good considering. Is she wearing a dog coat?

Yes it is a dog coat, the owner of the facility's daughter went and got it for her right after she was born. Deb we have dogs bigger than her.

While they, momma and baby, are still at great risk, they are doing pretty well given the circumstances and Dance Recital did drop her milk so she is able to nurse tiny Jewel.

We believe the worst of the emaciation is over and have not lost any horses for the last couple of weeks. 2 of the 4 I was caring for did succumb to starvation, it was just irreversible. However the surviving 2 were re-united with their herd about a week and 1/2 ago. There was great joy in the herd, galloping in the pasture, something we had never seen from these horses. They are still at pretty significant risk for the next 5 to 6 months, and the rain rot on these poor horses was just abysmal. But their prognosis becomes brighter every week.

FG Fan, it's so wonderful you're there to help out.

God bless all of those horses and if you see that little one please give her a hug from all of us. I've never seen such a little cutie-pie. I'll say a prayer for her and her mom every day along with the others.

Keep us updated if you can, ok? (photos of Jewel too!)
