Meet our two newest intakes Zazu and Nala. They are both significantly underweight, scoring a 2 out of 9 on the Henneke Body Condition Scale. Both horses came in covered with lice and rain rot.
Zazu is a Paint type gelding who is about 18 years old. He had some harsh lung sounds and was not thrilled to bend his hind legs. We will radiograph his hocks and look for arthritis after he is stronger and feeling better.
Nala is a Quarter Horse Type mare that appears to be about 5 years old. She is sore on a front foot, likely caused by a thin weak sole. She also is off on a hind leg from what we are guessing is a weak stifle. Both conditions will be reevaluated once her feet have been able to dry up and she has had enough calories and time to build muscle. For now, this duo’s job will be to just rest, eat and gain strength.
