Mr. Bojangles
 |
Mr. Bojangles is a 26 year old Welsh pony. Chronic, severe founder and starvation. |
 |
We are told he foundered 15 years ago. We don’t know much about his history, but we do know we will do everything in our power to help him and make sure that for whatever time he has left, he will know he is safe and loved. |

About a week later, this little miracle boy is starting to feel better.In large part due to the wonderful foster family caring for, and loving him every day. His feet have been trimmed- a little at a time so as to not over stress the rest of his body that has adapted to the posture of extreme pain he has been in for years. |
 |
We have started daily red light therapy on his back and his feet.
We are using the products from https://equinelighttherapy.com/ and we HIGHLY recommend both the company and the products! |

This is at 6 weeks. He has been on our re-feeding program for starvation cases and he is feeling better and better, starting to put on weight very slowly – which in necessary for successful nutritional recovery. He is standing straighter and more comfortably. He laying down less often and moving all over his enclosure (about 1/3 acre). He is far from out of the woods. He has a long way to go and we don’t know if he will get there…but as long as he is going in a good direction, we will be there to support him.
