Izzy

Mare

Birthday
October 1998

A Little Bit About Me...
We found Izzy at a sale barn in a heartbreaking state – emaciated and graded at a mere 1 on the body scale. Her severely overgrown teeth likely kept her from eating properly for months. The first few nights involved a strict starvation refeeding program, where we offered her small bowls of soup every few hours. After spending a week in the hospital and overcoming pneumonia, she's back home with us on the Farm and taking each step toward recovery with newfound strength!
