These Ponies Were Days From Death When We Found Them

💔 These ponies are clinging to life today because someone stepped in — but they still need help. 👉Please donate if you can: https://bit.ly/4reryBC Your support funds emergency veterinary care, plasma transfusions, specialist feeding and round-the-clock monitoring. Four young ponies were rescued after being abandoned in shocking, life-threatening condition. One of them — Tinker Bell — weighs just 57kg. Beneath her thick, matted coat she is a skeleton. Our veterinarians describe this as profound malnutrition. Blood tests revealed dangerously low red blood cells and protein levels, caused by starvation, heavy parasite burdens and long-term neglect. Quite simply, it is a miracle they survived long enough to reach us. Two of the ponies have already required plasma transfusions just to stabilise them. All are incredibly weak, unable to regulate their body temperature and at serious risk of long-term internal damage. 🐴 Our teams can only rescue and treat horses like this thanks to donations.
