We've got quite a few horses in rehabilitation at Gentle Spirit Horses Rescue right now, and our evenings often include a little extra care for those who need it most. Tonight, Prince, Phoenix, Scooter, and Paris each enjoyed a five-minute session with our BEMER blanket as part of their general wellness routines.
Three of these horses — Phoenix, Scooter, and Paris — are relatively recent arrivals who came to us severely underweight. They're now on the long road to recovery, with carefully managed nutrition, regular monitoring, and plenty of individualized attention.
And they're not alone! Porter, Cappi, and Dolce are also currently in our rehabilitation and quarantine area, receiving the care and attention they need as they settle in and begin their own journeys toward better health.
With so many horses needing extra support right now, we're going through a LOT of bedding and specialized feed. While the BEMER blanket is one of the tools we use in our wellness routines, the foundation of rehabilitation is good nutrition, clean and comfortable spaces, veterinary care, and time.
Want to help our rehabilitation horses?
A bag of stall bedding costs approximately $7, while a bag of high-fat feed costs about $32. Those everyday essentials add up quickly when you're caring for multiple horses who need extra attention.
Whether you can sponsor a bag of bedding, a bag of feed, or contribute toward their ongoing care, every donation helps us give these horses what they need.
