MEG
“Free Wheelin”
This big, friendly mare is cool as a cucumber, loves people, loves attention, loves to hang out, and seems unflappable; nothing rattles her! She is also very pretty, with the stripe running down her back, called a dun pattern. Meg arrived in good weight in the spring of 2021, but could not take a step without limping. She received initial treatment for some hoof issues, but was still lame. Subsequent vet exams, including radiographs, revealed a damaged pastern joint, an issue sometimes found in horses that have worked a lot. A careful assessment followed to determine whether Meg was a good candidate for the major surgery that could restore her comfort. Being calm, well mannered, and in good shape otherwise, the decision was made to follow through with the surgery. Meg had a seamless procedure, followed by very optimistic post-op behavior. In her late teens, Meg has fully recovered and is now able to move without pain, and has often paired up with Murtagh.
Living her best life these days, Meg is accepting all offers of sponsorship. Sponsor Meg today and be prepared to fall in love!
