Bert
Bert is a 30 year old Belgian gelding we pulled from a kill pen and he arrived 1-20-19. He was a work horse and in very poor, emaciated condition upon arrival. His ribs showed, he had no muscle on his topline or on his hindquarters and his chest bone protrudes and sags. He also has mites on his leg feathers and lice. He has been de-wormed, treated for lice and seen by the vet.
Bert lives with Martha and Tom in a large pasture. He has issues with aggression towards people mainly coming close to him, so we are working on trust and respect with him.
He requires senior feed, hay and a lot of TLC to get him healthy. Currently Bert's care is costing $450/month for feed, hay, and supplements.
*Sadly Bert passed away January 31st, 2020
