Adopter Birdie
Krydsede raser · Ukendt
Birdie blev solgt som et navnløst "ridedyr." Vi samarbejder med en lokal mand for at hjælpe os med at finde heste i alvorlige situationer, og redde dem fra en livsform med gentagen salg uden den omsorg, de har brug for. For redningsstandarder så Birdie ret god ud, da vi fik en tip om, at hun var til salg. Hun var ikke for magert, med et glat skind og glade øjne. Men det kan være en ulempe, fordi hendes større problemer ikke opdages på første sigt. Hun blev solgt som et ridedyr, men vi bemærkede komplekse problemer med hendes ben. Hendes ledders klik, vindring og blokering under gangen. Hun svajede under sin egen vægt og kunne ikke sætte hælene ned. Hendes fødder var forrådne og hun havde ubehag i maven. Så vi købte hende. Da Birdie ankom til vores asyl viste hun klare tegn på frygt for at blive adskilt: hun løb rundt i frygt, rystede og svudtede, mens de andre heste, som hun lige havde mødt, gik væk. Ubekymringerne i hendes mave forsvandt heldigvis, såsom hendes frygt for at blive adskilt. Hendes knogleforandringer er desværre faste, men Birdie har tilpasset sig dem. Hun går på en usædvanlig måde, men hun virker ganske bekvem og ikke synligt smertefri. Vi flyttede Birdie til det flade, sandpaddok, som er det nemmeste paddok for heste, der har vanskeligheder med at gå. Vi fortsætter med at overvåge hende tæt for at se, om hendes forandringer forårsager hende problemer. Indtil videre lader hun det ikke påvirke hende. Når du kalder hendes navn i hendes paddok og løber mod den anden side, vil hun gladeligt bryde ud i løb og galoppe lige ved siden af dig. Birdie er en meget behagelig og letfattelig hest. Hun kan ikke tage samme ture som nogle af de andre heste, fordi hun ikke kan gå med samme hastighed. Men vi tager hende på specielle langsomme ture. Vi holder tæt øje med hendes hovpleje. En eller to gange i året kommer en ekspert for at give hende kropsmassage for at frigøre spænding, der opbygges pga. hendes benforandringer. Hun gør det rigtig godt og nyder en afslappet og behagelig livsstil på vores finca. Donationer til Birdie hjælper med at betale de kosttilskud, hun får, hendes kropsmassage og hendes hovpleje, for at holde hende glad og smertefri. Hvis du ønsker at sponsere Birdie månedligt, vil du få direkte opdateringer om hendes genoptræning, dyrlægebesøg, behandlingsplaner og fremskridt. Hver eneste penge hjælper direkte med hendes genoptræning. Du får dine egne personlige login-oplysninger til vores Sponsor-side på hjemmesiden, hvor du kan se opdateringerne.

Birdie was sold as an unnamed “riding horse”. We work with a local man to help us find horses in dire situations, and save them from a life of being sold on and on, not receiving the care they urgently need. For rescue standards, Birdie looked pretty good when we got a tip about her being for sale. She was not too skinny, with a shiny coat and bright eyes. But this can be a curse, as her bigger problems go unnoticed at first sight. She was sold as a riding horse, but we noticed complicated issues with her legs. Her joints were clicking, twisting and locking as she walked. She was wobbling under her weight, unable to put her heels down. Her feet were rotten and she had discomfort in her gut. So we bought her. When Birdie arrived at our sanctuary she showed clear signs of fear of separation: she was pacing with fear, shaking and sweating as the other horses who she just met walked away. The discomfort in her gut fortunately passed, as did her fear of separation. Her bone deformations are unfortunately permanent, but Birdie has adapted to them. She walks in an unusual way, but she seemed quite comfortable and not visibly in pain. We moved Birdie in the flat, sandy paddock, which is the easiest paddock for the horses that have trouble walking. We continue to keep a close eye on her to see if her deformations are causing her trouble. But so far, she doesn’t let it affect her. When you call her name in her paddock and jog towards the other side, she’ll cheerfully break into a run and trot right next to you. Birdie is a very lovely and easy going horse. She can’t go on the same walks as some of the other horses, because she can’t walk at the same speed. But we take her on special slow walks. We carefully stay on top of her hoof care. Every once in a while a specialist comes to give her bodywork massages, to release tension that builds up because of her leg deformations. She is doing really well, enjoying a relaxed and comfortable life at our finca. Donations made towards Birdie help paying for the dietary supplements she receives, her bodywork massages and her hoof care, to keep her happy and pain-free. If you would like to sponsor Birdie monthly, you will get first hand updates about her rehabilitation, vet visits, treatment plans and progress. Every penny donated goes straight to her rehabilitation. You’ll receive your own personalised login details for our Sponsor page on the website to see the updates.
