A horse for my daughter
About seven years ago, I found Mollie, a very nice Thoroughbred mare for my daughter, Katie. Her back story was one of neglect and abuse. Mollie had raced successfully during her two-year-old year, paying her bills and then some. She suffered a devastating trailer accident while returning to the track for her three-year-old season. The owners apparently decided she was no longer of any use to them and failed to care for her injury properly. By the time my friend, Faye, found her a few years later, she was starving and in very poor shape. Faye rescued her and nursed her back to health.
A few weeks after we brought her home, she suffered a severe case of sand colic. She had been so hungry for so long that she vacuumed up every morsel she could find and filled her belly with sand in the process. She spent a week at the veterinary hospital and just about the time we were going to have to make a lethal decision, she passed the sand.
