Med tålmodighed og venlighed finder Gene sit fodfæste igen. Bekendt med Gene – fulde navn 'Sir Virginiano'. Gene ankom til os i en meget skærende tilstand. Han var alvorligt underernæret, lider af smertefulde, inficerede hudforhold og betydelige hovskader. Hans hove var klippet for kort og udstyret med for store, tunge sko, noget der sandsynligvis har forårsaget konstant ubehag og belastning gennem hans ben, ryg og krop. Mest bekymrende af alt har Gene et alvorligt skalle og ansigtsdefekt, tydeligt i overensstemmelse med en alvorlig tidligere skade. Ud over dette viste han tydelige neurologiske problemer. Da han første gang ankom, viste Gene alvorlig ataksia: ukontrolleret hoved- og nakkebevægelse, dårlig koordination og helkropssvæv, der gjorde daglig bevægelse meget vanskelig. Det vi hurtigt lærte, var at Genes neurologiske angreb var stærkt stressudløste. Angst, håndtering eller usikre miljøer forværrede hans symptomer væsentligt. Siden han kom i vores omsorg har Gene vist, hvor kraftfuldt ro, konsekvens og venlighed kan være. Ved at reducere stress, forbedre håndtering, skabe en forudseelig rutine og behandle fysiske ubehag, herunder at fjerne ukorrekt hovudstyr og overføre ham til barfod, er hans ataksieangreb reduceret betydeligt. I dag er Gene i stor grad stabilt i rolige situationer, med symptomer, der kun viser sig i specifikke høje stressmomenter. Hans genoptræning er i gang og fokuserer på komfort, bevægelse, hovgenopretning, nervøs systemregulering og opsyn for at holde ham tryg og i forbedring. Indtil nu har Genes redning og omsorg allerede kostet mere end 800 euro, på et tidspunkt, hvor vi allerede kæmper med at møde stigende redningsomkostninger. Dyrevedtægt, behandlinger og kontinuerlig support bygger hurtigt op – men Gene fortjener hver chance til en sikker, smertefri fremtid. Hvis du kan, overvej at give en donation til Genes omsorg eller blive månedlig sponsor for at følge hans rejse. Hver bidrag hjælper os med at fortsætte med at være der for heste som Gene, når de har mest brug for os.

With patience and kindness, Gene is finding his footing again Meet Gene – full name ‘Sir Virginiano'. Gene arrived with us in truly heartbreaking condition. He was severely malnourished, suffering from painful, infected skin, and significant hoof damage. His hooves had been trimmed far too short and fitted with oversized, heavy shoes, something that likely caused ongoing discomfort and strain through his legs, back, and body. Most concerning of all, Gene has a severe skull and facial defect, clearly consistent with a major historic injury. Alongside this, he presented with pronounced neurological issues. When he first arrived, Gene showed severe ataxia: uncontrolled head and neck swinging, poor coordination, and full-body instability that made everyday movement incredibly difficult. What we quickly learned is that Gene’s neurological episodes were heavily stress-triggered. Anxiety, handling, or unpredictable environments caused his symptoms to worsen dramatically. Since coming into our care, Gene has shown just how powerful calm, consistency, and kindness can be. By reducing stress, improving handling, creating a predictable routine, and addressing physical discomfort, including removing inappropriate shoeing and transitioning him toward barefoot, his ataxic episodes have reduced significantly. Today, Gene is largely stable in calm conditions, with symptoms appearing only in specific high-stress moments. His rehabilitation is ongoing and focused on comfort, movement, hoof recovery, nervous system regulation, and careful monitoring to keep him safe and improving. So far, Gene’s rescue and care has already cost over €800, at a time when we are already struggling to meet rising rescue costs. Vet care, treatments, and ongoing support add up quickly – but Gene deserves every chance at a safe, pain-free future. If you’re able, please consider making a donation toward Gene’s care or become a monthly sponsor to stay up to date on his journey. Every contribution helps us continue showing up for horses like Gene when they need us most.
