Lipps

Home     Adoption Contract     Rescued Horses     About Us

Lipps came into our rescue program on May 23, 2018. Lipps came into our rescue program from the Woodward County Sheriff's Office as a cruelty case along with 8 other horses. We spent many hours on location in Woodward County trying to save a horse that was down upon arrival. Finding a Veterinarian that would respond out in the field was extremely difficult. One Veterinarian stated that he could check on her the next morning but I refused to leave her there. We finally found a Veterinarian a little over an hour away that would come out and at least prep her for travel, while down, with fluids, etc. We had to call in another trailer, so that she could ride alone as we were prepared to load her whether she was standing or laying down. This sweet girl was not going to be left behind. She needed to see help arrived for her and her herd. Sadly, we lost that sweet mare shortly after arriving back home. Our Veterinarian met us here at midnight and we did all we could to save her, but sadly, her fight was done. But she knew she was safe and she nickered to her herd, where they responded back to her. At that moment, she left us. It breaks our hearts when we can't save one, but thankfully, her 7 remaining herd members made it out. Lipps is a Beautiful, Sorrel, Quarter Horse, Stud. Lipps is estimated to be 7 years of age. Lipps is emaciated, body score of a 1 with extremely long hooves and rain rott. All of the horses went about 2 weeks with limited access to water or anything edible. Lipps is a super sweet boy. Lipps will be gelded before his adoption status is updated. This beautiful boy has a long road of recovery ahead of him. We will update as he improves. Please consider making a donation towards Lipp's Rehabilitation.
