Honey

Second Chance's Honey

Biography

Honey 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.

Honey was known to Second Chance for over 12 months as we'd worked with the Animal Welfare Unit on her care when she was reported to us as having badly neglected hooves. After being given direction orders to tend to her hooves things improved somewhat with her. However being discovered again still under the care of the same owner with the rest of the 'Rainbow Herd' a year later, Honey's condition had deteriorated. She was now losing weight, was riddled with worms and her cracked hooves had been neglected once more. Despite her lack of appropriate care Honey is still a sweetheart of a horse, hence her name. Honey also has a flopped ear that she is unable to use to full capacity. Our vet informed us this is due to a piercing injury to the base of her ear which damaged the ligaments such as being bitten by another horse or suffering an accident but we may never know for certain what happened to her ear.
