Palomino
Mixed Breed · Unknown
A long journey to safety, this gentle soul is beginning to heal. This handsome gelding is one of our newer rescues—and what a journey it’s been to get him here. Palomino came to us alongside our lovely donkey Ringo from La Palma. Their neighbor had watched them struggle for a long time and, determined to help, worked tirelessly to buy them out so they could come to safety. Getting Palomino here was no easy feat—a complicated ferry trip, endless transport logistics, and paperwork confusion that had us going back and forth to the mainland to untangle his identity. After weeks of legalizing documents and tracking down his history, we finally secured his papers in our name. He is safe now. Palomino arrived very underweight and with his feet in poor condition, and, unlike most horses who improve quickly on our care plan, his progress has been slow. We’ve started clearing sand from his gut and introducing probiotics to support his digestion so he can absorb all the nutrients from his new healthy diet. Palomino’s story is sadly a common one, but with your help, we can make his future brighter. If you’d like to support his recovery, you can sponsor Palomino and get updates as this gentle soul begins to shine.
