CHINO
Days end Farm Horse Rescue
Back Chino arrived at Days End Farm Horse Rescue in late 2009...a chestnut paint quarter horse reduced to nothing more than skin stretched over a skeleton. This beautiful gelding arrived 300+ pounds underweight, dehydrated, with severely overgrown teeth, a parasitic infestation, overgrown hoofs, and itchy, painful rain rot all over his body. Chino’s posture said it all: He had a dull, flat expression with no interest in his new surroundings. He stepped off the trailer grinding his teeth, and foaming and salivating at the mouth. An emergency vet visit revealed horribly long, sharp teeth that were immediately filed down, but the inside of his cheeks had been cut and rubbed raw and he was in terrible pain.
Chino was not interested in munching hay or drinking water, and less than 48-hours after arrival, he was rushed to an equine hospital for intensive, 24-hour treatment of a potentially fatal gut impaction. Chino fought to live and after five critical days, he returned to Days End. Eventually, this wonderful horse blossomed and found his forever home with an amazing woman who had already adopted eight horses from Days End.
Brennan Equine Welfare Fund is proud to have given a grant to help Chino regain his health and find a forever, loving home. He went from near-death, to abundant health, and knows the love and affection he always deserved.
