A miniature pony called a honey needs your help
Dairy Flat, Auckland
Today I picked up a very sore miniature pony called Honey. She was going to be euthanised but I asked if I could have her donated to me as I wanted to see if I could help her.
She is an absolute sweetie but has suffered laminitis for years. As a result her feet are disfigured. She has one foot that is bent over and she needs specialist attention.
I am asking for financial help to get X-rays of Honeys feet and lower joints. Any extra funds will be used to pay for a dentist to check and file sharp teeth.
I need help to get her feet trimmed so she is comfortable plus to pay for foot treatments and supports.
X-rays, dentist, farrier/trimmer, hoof boots, bodywork.
If I dont meet my target I’ll use the money to get X-rays first.
Honey our last update. I am closing the funding tomorrow. 17 May 2024
Thank you everyone for your amazing support with trying to help Honey.
I’m letting you know first that I set her free because she was telling me she had enough.
She worsened the past week and I made the terribly upsetting decision to let her free.
I know this is not what we wanted as an outcome.
I honestly thought I could help her.
Right now I am in grief and plan to study her feet and the fetlock.
I’d be really grateful if you could keep this confidential for now. I’m not ready for social media.
In time I’ll share my findings on her leg.
Her only option was a tenotomy.
Expensive and not a promise.
After she passed I did a tenotony. And thankfully it made absolutely no difference to her leg. It was totally jammed up.
Honey has taught me so much and I will share this with the world.
Thank you all for donating and giving us the funds for all her investigations.
Thank you! I do appreciate this x
