He’s just a baby. A baby draft horse who should’ve had help from the start. Not pity. Not silence. Not people standing by as his legs grew worse and worse being watched like a circus animal. His back legs are so deformed now that it’s hard for him to walk at all. Both of his legs should have been supported with farrier work and with a simple vet exam. Braced even if that was an option.

I’ve named him Humphrey— He’s just a baby. A baby draft horse who should’ve had help from the start. Not pity. Not silence. Not people standing by as his legs grew worse and worse being watched like a circus animal. His back legs are so deformed now that it’s hard for him to walk at all. Both of his legs should have been supported with farrier work and with a simple vet exam. Braced even if that was an option. Treated. Instead, they were ignored. And now here he is—barely able to move. Thrown away. Just a baby. The saddest part is he craves human connection which means he was around humans who SAW HIM LIKE THIS. I don’t know if surgery will even be an option. His tendons don’t feel like the other cases I’ve seen… they’re too relaxed, but I still want to try. I still want to get him to a vet— we as humans owe him at least that much. This fundraiser is part of a massive fundraiser to help not just Humphrey but as many as we can — but for him, his portion, is simply to get him safe—so we can transport him to the hospital early next week and see if anything can be done. Even if it’s just enough to make him a comfortable pasture companion… That would be more than what life’s given him so far. Please help me get this baby to the vet. Let’s give him a shot at something better. Even if it’s not perfect. Even if it’s not fixable he deserves the chance to be seen as more than a horse tagged for his meat..
