On Tuesday, we are taking an urgent, vital step to save Aurora’s hooves and protect her long-term mobility. It has been 141 days since Aurora was rescued on March 14th without receiving hoof care. After a previous standing sedation attempt proved unsuccessful and our custom equine squeeze chute was delayed to 10 weeks due to emergency wildfire deployments in Colorado, we cannot wait any longer.
Her hooves are deteriorating, and waiting 10 weeks poses a severe risk of permanent, irreversible internal damage or founder.
What Your $5 Contribution Directly Supports:
This Tuesday, an experienced local equine vet (with a deep background in Mustang training) and our farrier team are performing a heavy recumbent (laying down) field sedation protocol.
Your $5 sponsorship goes directly toward:
Mobile Field Anesthesia & Sedation Protocol: Safely laying Aurora down for a controlled 30-to-45-minute medical window.
Immediate On-Site X-Rays: Shooting digital X-rays before trimming to check her coffin bone alignment and evaluate her hoof structure.
Specialized Farrier Care: Trimming and balancing her hooves based on precise X-ray readings.
Halter Fitting & Safety: Placing a breakaway halter so we can begin gentle, choice-based connection halter training with her now that she is no longer pregnant.
Post-Care & Monitoring: Medical monitoring for both Aurora and her foal, Astro, to ensure a safe, smooth recovery.
Why $5 Makes a Difference:
When hundreds of us in our global herd come together, a single $5 contribution—the cost of a cup of coffee, instantly covers the heavy medical costs of this emergency procedure.
Thank you for standing by Aurora, believing in her healing, and fighting for her right to live a comfortable, pain free life.
Every single contribution, share, and gentle thought brings us one step closer to getting this wild girl the care she deserves!
