Ella

Second Chance's Ella Enchanted

Biography

Ella was one of 19 horses and ponies surrendered to Second Chance from the RSPCA of Western Australia, all the animals coming from the same original owner. Second Chance and the RSPCA worked together for some weeks leading up to the rescue and Second Chance had also assisted the Animal Welfare Unit over 12 months before on some of these equines, collecting evidence and offering our equine knowledge to assist with the investigation. Eventually the owner opted to surrender a large number of equines as a part of an operation to reduce herd numbers to a manageable level. The equines were collected by Second Chance volunteers and fostered immediately into specialist care.

Ella was in very poor condition, she was underweight with a body score of 1, and she also had a terrible worm burden with live worms visible in her manure. Ella was also very timid although basically halter broken. When she was wormed she passed a lot of worms in her manure, truly revolting conditions for this youngster to endure. Ella was also very nervous and timid, and it will be quite some time before she learns to be more confident with people.
