Dahlia is a fairly recent addition to the sanctuary......she came to us via Animal Rescue League of Berks County. ARL was called to a farm in Berks County where some dead horses were discovered in a secluded pasture. One additional horse had to be euthanized . All were thoroughbred horses.
Three, including Dahlia, were removed from the site and placed on a foster farm. The othe horses are under continued monitoring.
All were emaciated, covered in rain rot, and had depressed affects. One mare was adopted by the Ryers Foundation and had a healthy foal soon after arrival at their farm. One mare remains awaiting adoption at the foster farm.
EFES was blessed with Dahlia. She in in her mid twenties and has a Grade VI
heart murmur. After a couple of months of care and rehabilitation, Dahlia is now fat, happy, and enjoying a comfortable life with her stablemates. Several people rallied to the cause and financially supported the immediate care she needed.
