Meet Maci. She is a super sweet tempered three year old filly that was part of a collaborative rescue effort in Fallon, NV that saved 56 horses at auction from purchase by a slaughter buyer.
Maci arrived at All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. on September 4th, 2015, and she unloaded lame on her front right leg. She is a BIG girl! Upon evaluation, it was discovered that Maci had several issues, including a fractured sesmoid bone and torn suspensory ligament in her front right, and Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions in all four fetlock joints. The fracture and tear should heal fine, but the OCD lesions will need surgical intervention to prevent further/ongoing damage, chronic pain, and a short life. If you are not familiar with OCD, a good starting point would be to Google "equine OCD".
***UPDATE: Heartfelt thanks to the generosity of our supporters! Funds were raised for Maci's surgeries. Her first surgery was January 25, 2016. Her second surgery was February 29, 2016. Everything went smoothly, and she is recovering well.
