CHANCE, HIS STORY
Sometimes when you least expect it along comes a very special case.
Chance is a case like that . A small foal , 6 months old, had suffers a terrible
lip injury and needs help. Good Samaritans in Kansas receive a call, asking them
if they wanted the colt, if not he would be disposed of. He received immediate
vet care and was put on antibiotics . The wound had been left untreated and
there was a severe infection. The lower lip is torn almost half way off 2 inches
behind the jaw.
The Good Samaritans called Epona Horse Rescue when they realized the cost of
the rehabilitation and the work of it would be better placed upon the shoulders of
a horse rescue.
Chance was sweet loving and very smart. He showed so much potential and is
turning into an amazing horses. He has 2 surgeries to repair the lip and is in a
loving forever home.
