Rehabilitate, Rejuvenate, Restore 

Bunny has been with us for about 3 months now, and she's been one of the more challenging starvation rehabilitations we've taken on.

This beautiful 16.2-hand Thoroughbred has a lot stacked against her. She's completely blind, has no upper teeth and very little chewing surface, and she has motor neuron disease—the same condition our beloved Snip lived with. The disease causes muscle wasting, weakness, ataxia, and her unique way of moving.

Despite being blind, Bunny has learned her surroundings incredibly well. She still gets nervous at times, especially at night when she'll quietly circle her stall. It's not obsessive, but it does burn calories we'd much rather see going toward rebuilding her body. During the day she's outside, where she's much more relaxed.

One thing we've noticed recently is her beautiful coat. It's becoming soft and shiny again—a wonderful sign that her nutrition is improving.

Bunny is offered every opportunity to gain weight. She receives specially prepared meals she can safely eat, and we do everything we can to maximize the calories she consumes. We'd love to see her carry more condition, but because of her age, dental limitations, and motor neuron disease, she may never have the same body as a healthy senior horse. That doesn't mean being underweight is acceptable—it simply means Bunny's medical challenges make her journey different.

What matters most is that she's comfortable, happy, and thriving in her own way.

She truly is one of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet, and watching her adapt, trust, and overcome has been an incredible privilege.
