Thorny came into our rescue program on April 06, 2013. Thorny came from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office along with 62 other horses and 3 Llama's as a severe cruelty case. Seminole County investigated an animal cruelty case consisting of over 120 animals, where several carcasses were found. Sadly, for many horses, help came too late. We were able to assist Seminole County and save 63 horses and 3 Llama's from neglect. Thorny is a Beautiful, Black, Tennessee Walker/Friesan, Mare. Thorny is estimated to be 12 years of age. Thorny is extremely emaciated with a body score of a 1. She is infested with internal/external parasites, has rain rot and is mildly anemic. You can see how much Thorny has improved in just 30 days.

Many have a long road of recovery ahead of them, while many others will be coming available for adoption soon. Thorny is super sweet and very smart. She loves attention!
