Adopter Capri
Krydsede raser · Ukendt
Den smukke lille Capri, chefen på fincaven! Han er måske lille og nuttet, men lad dig ikke narre! Capri er en sej fyr i sin lille krop. Respekteret af alle hestene og den foretrukne valg blandt damerne! Capri har været med os fra begyndelsen, vores første rigtige rescue på øen (efter Echo, men du kan læse hans historie) og det nemmeste problem at løse. Han hjalp os blidt i gang, og vi ville ønske, at alle problemer havde så let en løsning. Capri var en udflugtshest, før han kom til os; han var i god form, havde en fin vægt og var ret godt passet (for vores rescue-standarder). Han blev dog brugt to gange dagligt til udflugter. Han var «langsomme nybegynderes» hest og blev tydeligvis langsommere og fik sværere og sværere arbejde for at motivere sig. Desværre er dette endnu et eksempel på uvidenhed; årsagen var, at han led af voldsomme smerter i det ene bagben. Efter at han kom til os og fik lov til at slappe af og lade sine følelser komme frem, kunne vi snart se, at han led under smerten. Dyrlægerne diagnosticerede akut arthritis uden kur; han ville være halt for altid, så han skulle aflives, da det var grusomt at beholde ham, når han ikke kunne gå. Heldigvis for Capri er dette overhovedet ikke tilfældet. Efter at vi fjernede hans metalbeslag, lod ham hvile og slappe af i vidende, at han ikke behøvede at præstere igennem smerte, gav vi ham en mild antiinflammatorisk behandling og introducerede langsomt og nænsomt motion over to måneder, og nu er han helt rask. To år senere har han ikke haft nogen form for halthed siden og er bestemt ikke længere den langsomme nybegynders hest. Han nyder virkelig at gå.

Pretty little Capri, boss of the finca! He may be little and cute, but don't be fooled! Capri is a tough guy in his little frame. Respected by all the horses and the top choice for the ladies! Capri has been with us from the very beginning, our first real rescue on the island (after Echo, but you can read his story) and the easiest problem to fix. He eased us in gently and we wish all problems had such an easy solution. Capri was an excursion horse before he came to us, he was in good condition, nice weight and pretty well cared for (for our rescue standards). However he was used twice daily for excursions. He was the “slow beginners” horse and was getting slower and harder work to motivate apparently. Sadly this is another case of ignorance, the reason was because he was in crippling pain with one of his back legs. After coming to us and being allowed to relax and let his feelings show we soon saw he was going through the pain. The vets diagnosed as acute arthritis with no cure, he would be lame forever so should be put to sleep as it was cruel to keep him when he was unable to walk. Luckily for Capri this is not the case AT ALL. After we removed his metal shoes, allowed him to rest and relax knowing he didn't need to perform through the pain, a course of light anti-inflammatory and slow introduction of gentle exercise within 2 months he was perfectly sound and 2 years later he hasn't had any lameness since and is certainly NOT the slow beginners horse. He very much enjoys walking.
