Sam is a 28 year old Percheron gelding who was discarded at auction in 2011 presumbably after he went blind.  He was rescued and an opthalmic evalution revealed complete retinal detachment with cataracts in his left eye (complete blindness) and Recurrent Uveitis and Glaucoma in his right eye.  A corneal implant was performed to restore sight in the right eye, knowing this procedure would only last a few years at most.  He was adopted into a loving home where he was well cared for.  By the beginning of this year however, his implant started to fail, and he has become blind again in the right eye.  Although he was receiving excellent care, his pasture was hilly and steep, and he began to have falls from trying to navigate the terrain.  In order to give him a safe, fuller life, living out doors instead of a stall, it was arranged for him to become a resident of Ferrell Hollow Farm for the rest of his days!

Sam requires a joint supplement for his arthritis and supplements for his Cushing's Disease symptoms. He loves to eat and treats are his favorite! ( Winnie's Cookies) Sam is a very loving and social fella!
