She Was Very Sick and Couldn’t Really Walk
With her hooves so long that they rolled over on themselves, poor Annie couldn’t walk very well. It caused her significant pain to stand, but she also couldn’t lie down easily. It was miserable for this little pony, and she was despondent. Some people might say that animals can’t express their pain or sadness, but one look at this picture shows how downtrodden this pony was. She was covered in parasites, and her owner used her for breeding other ponies.
She Looks so Sad
Her Owners Didn’t Want Her Anymore
Once her breeding years were over, Annie’s owners didn’t want her anymore. They stuck her in a dilapidated barn for many years. Finally, they couldn’t even afford a little food and water or the time to help her, so they put her out in the street. Annie was all but lost to the world, and would have succumbed to her injuries. However, the EHCRC stepped in, brought her to the shelter, and cared for her. The police had found her wandering and called the sanctuary.
