Another Horse Rescued from Cruelty

Wayne, WV (HNN) – The City of Huntington established a “tethering” law for dogs to prevent the animals from being chained. However, the ordinance is to work jointly with other animal cruelty statutes.
Tinia Creamer played a role in the May rescue of horses and dogs in the Prichard area.
However, not all stories of cruelty have multiple animals. Several weeks ago, Creamer succeeded in rescuing a five year old paint mare.
“I had been aware of this horse’s situation through the grapevine for about a month, but the law enforcement in this country overlooks animal abuse and nothing was done,” Creamer wrote.
After obtaining permission to take the animal, the rescuer/photographer wrote, “ I am told she was [originally] kept in a stall for three years and never let out. She was then moved and tied outside with no shelter to a tree. She would be walked every few days to graze … and then tied back to the tree. Otherwise , she had no shelter.”
Known as Cheyenne, the horse had a laceration on its leg from a rope tangle. In addition, horses require regular treatment to their hooves. This one has not had any. A “farrier, ”Rick Legg, and apprentice, Dave Stephens did “amazing work on our rescue mare’s feet .”
Below, there’s a short video of the recovering mare walking after its hooves were treated.
Creamer said, “I hope I am always about to help when a horse is in such need as this.”
In addition, donations of hay or Strategy Healthy Edge feed are welcome.
Cash donations can be made by Paypal: trinia@lucasfarmswv.com. For further info on the rescued mare and horse rescue, contact Ms. Creamer at trinia@live.com.
