TomTom is a nice black pony cross who came to MHARF in an August 2017 humane case. He was a malnourished stallion at intake but was gelded and has spent the last several months gaining weight and getting the care he needs. He was born in approximately 2010 and stands 13.2hh. TomTom was not broke to ride and was placed in our 2018 Trainer’s Challenge of the Unwanted Horse with trainer Elizabeth Robins. He was stared under saddle but it was discovered that he had ongoing pain issues in his back. He has been receiving veterinary and chiropractic care but we have determined that he will most likely never be comfortable carrying a rider. He is a nice pony and could possibly make a light driving pony or a good companion. We want to thank Elizabeth for all of her help with TomTom over the summer!

 

Sadly we had to make the decision to humanely euthanize Brooks (who came to MHARF during a May 2017 humane case) due to severe joint damage and soft tissue injury to both front legs that was detected through ultrasound. We suspect this damage occurred due to very hard use in the past and the injuries were never treated. Had they been treated in time it is possible that Brooks would have recovered. He was in a great amount of pain and his treatment team regretfully decided the most humane thing to do was to put him down.
