20-25 yr old Quarterhorse Mare

In Rehabilitation
Kami changed multiple hands in the last year, at one point ending up in an auction before coming to H.O.P.E. She arrived very thin and with an infected front hoof. 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 in March she has recovered from her thrush infection and has been steadily putting on weight.

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.
