Neyshar (Ney)

Neysher, or affectionately known as Ney, was brought into our farm in January, 2008 with a load of 5 from New Holland sale barn.  Ney and others were rescued by the generous support of the FOBs and Ney was sponsored in generousity of a family in memory of a family member, a little boy they had lost.  When the transport arrived, Ney was down on the trailer.  He couldnt stand nor could he even get in the upright position.  His trailer mate stood squished in the corner of the compartment as to not step on Ney.  We removed Geri, his traveling companion, and moved Ney from one trailer to the other with pull power.  When we arrived at the farm, Ney was pulled off the trailer and immediatly started eating at the frozen grass under his body.  This horse was STARVED!  He was worked to death and not fed!  How could someone do this to an animal who worked himself literally to death…he was put in this condition and then dumped in the direct to slaughter pen.  I will never understand the lack of human compassion in this world.  People simply amaze me!  We sat at Neys side thru the night with IVs and pushing liquids by syringe into his mouth.  This horse at 4 bales of hay LAYING ON HIS SIDE!! When the vet arrived the next day, it had been determined that Ney wouldnt survive, no matter how much we did for him.  His organs were shutting down and his will to live was gone.  But his belly was full and his heart was ready to leave.  We showed him that not all people are out to make him suffer.  I think he finally understood that.  So we released him on 1.6.08 to fly in the clouds with the others we have loved and lost.
