YOU helped save this foal! Saving Baby Equine Charity which receives some of its funding from sales of my book, Saving Baby, was notified of a one-month-old paint foal that was in critical need of a surgical procedure. This little colt was only 3-days-old when his breeder noticed he was leaking urine from his umbilicus, a condition known as “persistent urachus”. Not wanting to bother with the needs of this little one, the breeder was going to euthanize him. A loving family heard of the tiny colt’s predicament and offered to adopt him, thereby saving his life. Now after receiving oral antibiotics for 4 weeks and growing stronger, Rio Lobo (his new name) must undergo a corrective surgical procedure. Wanting to assist this family that saved Rio Lobo’s life, Triple Me Mac Equine Sanctuary (Texas) began fundraising for the expensive surgery. Saving Baby Equine Charity was asked to help, and we were thrilled to immediately donate the remaining funds needed for Rio Lobo’s procedure. Once again, YOU have participated in equine rescue because Saving Baby Equine Charity was ready and able to assist with the needs of an equine in need. Rio Lobo now has a healthy, full life ahead of him! THANK YOU ALL!
