21 yr old Quarterhorse Mare

In Rehabilitation
Kami changed multiple hands over the course of a year, at one point ending up in an auction before coming to H.O.P.E. in March, 2022. She arrived very thin, with rain rot in her coat and an infected front hoof. In spite of her neglect she is very sweet, sociable, and laid-back. During her first farrier visit, she was comfortable enough to take a brief nap in a volunteer's arms.

Since her arrival, she recovered from her thrush infection and had several bad teeth extracted. Much more comfortable now, she has been steadily putting on weight while showing off her shiny new coat. Her sweet, calm nature has quickly endeared her to our volunteers.

Full side view of Kami during her rehabilitation. Her ribs are still visible, but her topline is no longer prominent, and its apparent that she has put on weight in her flanks and hindquarters, even if she is lacking in some muscle tone.
