How the Team Cleaned Her Up
The first step in the long process was to get Annie cleaned up so that the staff knew what they were up against. She had parasites that had matted the hair and irritated her skin. It took a long time and a lot of scrubbing, but the team was successful in getting Annie cleaned up. She looked like a new horse! However, they had to get her to eat.
The Dirt Wasn’t Easy to Remove
Annie Got Her First Real Meal in Who Knows How Long
Rescuers were quick to give the skeletal pony some tasty food. Many times, owners who mistreat their animals feed them white bread to save money. This doesn’t contain the minerals and nutrients that a pony needs. She seemed to like her food, which was selected based on her malnutrition and what minerals/vitamins she desperately needed. Of course, that wasn’t the only thing to consider.
