Carol

Arrival Date:  February 2020

 

Corey and Carolita “Carol” arrived at the ranch in February of 2020. These two sisters were part of a County of San Diego Department of Animal Services case. While they were very much loved by their owner, her battle with dementia prevented her from caring for her animals as she once had. Her family made the difficult decision to move her closer to them and her animals were transferred to Animal Services.

This set of photographs of Carol and Corey were taken on a memorable day in July 2021.  They were having the time of their lives running freely in the large turn-out enclosure at the ranch.   Such a magnificent pair of horses in all their beauty.

On January 18, 2022 we lost Corey to seizures that did not respond to medication. When we agreed to take in the two girls we did so knowing Carol has a significant number of large melanomas (common in grey horses). We tried to prepare ourselves that Carol might not be with us for very long. We were completely unprepared to lose Corey first.

Fortunately, Carol has adjusted to the passing of her sister, and we are hoping that Corey is now running pain-free after passing over the rainbow bridge.
