Sunny's Rehabilitation
Story
| Sunny (by her owners,
Nancy and Vikki Voutour) Approximately one year prior to Sunny's arrival to NHF in June of 2008, she had sustained a rear leg suspensory injury requiring extensive medical treatment and several months of rest. Shortly after receiving the 'All Clear' to place Sunny back into a work program, she refused to move forward and began rearing, developed ulcers and was labeled as 'dangerous and unridable'. After spending two and a half months away in a 'boot-camp' type of program where she at least became rideable, Sunny was brought home to NHF where her rehabilitation began. The NHF team spent an enormous amount of time weaning her back into a more normal program, taking care in her turnout time and hand walking up and down hills and on trails to buildup her stamina. Sunny is no longer on ulcer medications, she has developed beautiful muscle tone, place 1st in Dressage Training Level 1 and has become an overall happy, delightful pony. |
