# Rehab Roundup - September 19, 2023

 19 September 2023

[Rehab Roundup](https://www.gentlespirithorses.org/blog/tag/rehab-roundup)

#RehabRoundup - let's check in on the horses currently in rehab at the rescue

Medical:  
Pepper - stall rest for large leg wound, doing well. Stall rest until end of year.  
Mona - stall rest for hind end weakness, appears to be a strain above the hip.   
Raven - ongoing rehab for heaves, weight loss and uveitis flareup. Concerned we are dealing with end of life issues.  
Phoebe - rehab for weight gain. Not gaining as expected, concerned we are dealing with end of life issues.  
Benny - navicular and weight gain. Equioxx has helped immensely and he's improving well. Needs continued weight gain before adoption.  
Reba - returned from training thin and blind from an injury. Pen rest as she adjusts. She's gaining nicely and appears to have some vision in her right eye.  
Honey - abscess/hoof bruise. Is walking sound and out of stall rest. Weight and coat are doing well. Expect end of rehab in 5-7 days.

Behavior:  
Kody - in pasture, calming, and curious. Physical condition fully rehabbed, working on friendliness.  
Lucy - in pasture, calm and friendly. Much calmer when bonded friends removed from pasture and accepting attention even in a group of friends without aggression. Next step: haltering and leading away from friends. Goal: Dakota Showdown 2024 prospect.
