T-DOT, named after TN Dept. of Transportation, because they were taking the owner’s land to widen the road, had been hit by a car after being run through a fence by another horse at midnight on April 25th, 2011. He’s only 2 and a half and just a pony stud colt. We were called by the owner who wanted to do the best thing for T-DOT because they just didn’t have the finances to pay for the vet.
Dr. Alex Dulaney came out and looked at him and didn’t seem to feel he had a good prognoses. So the volunteers and I put our heads together to try to create a sling, if we had to keep him off that leg. But after the x-rays were looked at, Doc Alex found out that it’s just a tear in his tendon and a bone chip. He suggested we keep him in a stall, no bigger than 10×10. He needs time to heal. He may always be lame, but he can live out his life as a horse and pet. We’ll see…..miracles really DO happen here at Mustang Alley Horse Rescue!!
If you’d like to help with T-DOT’s medical expenses, please donate, as all donations are tax deductible and most greatly appreciated!
He had some serious wounds that need special care.
Poor Little T-Dot. Glad to know he’s doing better. Hoping for the best!
This is almost Oct. How are T- Dot and Bonnie doing?
Do You do single trail rides on Mon or Tues? I work every weekend.
Thanks for all you do for TN horses in need.
