Horse ProtectionAssociation of Florida

April and May brought new horses to HPAF. Music was found by the Levy County Sheriff ’s Offi ce aft er being reported by a concerned citizen. Said to be 11 years old and a former race horse, it was hard to imagine this horse who was skeletal and depressed was a fairly young ex-race horse. Dr. Hambleton responded and gave Music IV vitamins and iron. Music weighed just 753 lbs.; at 16 hands he should weigh over 1200 lbs. Th en on May 9th two more horses, Soft ly age 2 and Beauty age 10 came to HPAF aft er being reported to Levy County Sheriff s Offi ce. Th eir fi rst week at HPAF was critical for Music and Soft ly’s survival. Th ey had free choice access to grass, alfalfa hay and an hourly feeding regime of Senior feed. Music progressed steadily in that fi rst week but Soft ly was another story. Soft ly’s starvation was more severe and she continued to be weak and depressed during that fi rst seven days. Dr. Hambleton returned with more injections to stimulate her body and appetite and fi nally we began to see changes. She became more alert and began to walk normally, giving us hope for her survival. Young horses like Soft ly can develop life threatening complications in the future because their bodies leach minerals from their organs and bones in order to survive as they grow. Aft er gaining only 32 lbs. in her fi rst 9 days, Soft ly fi nally began to gain more rapidly, gaining 121 lbs. in 21 days and 238 lbs. in 38 days. Now Soft ly is strong enough to go out with the other horses to graze and play. Th e owners of each of these horses have been charged with felony animal cruelty.

Th ank you to everyone who donated their goods, services and money to make it successful. Th e event raised over $8000 for the horses. We could not be more grateful to everyone involved.

Storm Damage

Th e HPAF farm was hit over night on June 6th by Tropical storm Colin. Sometime during the night, a large oak tree in the gelding pasture split in half and came down onto two fence lines. We think that the geldings must have been standing near the tree when it came crashing down because they ran through the very sturdy fence on the opposite side of their 20-acre pasture. Th e geldings know their fences and that there is a potent electric wire along the top to discourage cribbing and a certain donkey from walking through the fence boards. Th ey must have been very scared to run through the fence. None of the geldings were injured but Momma, the Paso mare from the main herd, got in with the geldings and either was kicked or ran into a post while trying to get away from the pursuing geldings. Dr Hambleton came right away to treat her broken nose. He said there was nothing that could be done and that the swelling would subside from treatment and time. A very special thank you to Sam Osborne for making the emergency repairs to the fence aft er the storm.
