and Danny today- happy and healthy 
Danny Danny when he arrived at Serenity (top left). On the way to the Enumclaw auction he had a bad accident in the trailer. He was dumped at the auction and his owner drove away. Danny was bought by the kill buyer. Jessica bought him from the kill buyer and he was brought to Serenity for daily medical care. The top right picture of his leg shows a very deep wound and a torn tendon. Danny had to have his leg cleaned, medicated and bandage change twice a day for over a month. He also needed a lot of weight put on him.

Sequoia Before Sequoia was a PEC rescue. Her before picture shows the terrible condition she was in- trapped in a round pen (with Lakota) eating off her own feces and urine. Her coat was corded with mud and feces. She and Lakota were so wild they had to be herded into a trailer to come home to Serenity. It took a lot of patience to earn their trust but with daily handling, they came along quickly and learned to love people. |

Sequoia After Today she is happy and healthy. Sequoia has been adopted by a young lady who is looking forward to taking Sequoia to some shows in Spring of 2009. She is currently boarded at Serenity. |

Lakota Before Lakota (also known as Sonny), Sequoia's pasture-mate was another sad case. So sick and full of parasites it took several rounds of worming to heal him. Worms literally poured out of him through multiple rounds of worming, we were so glad to see him get healthy- he is such a friendly boy. Below is Lakota with his friend Jahmaal. |

Lakota After Today Lakota is as healthy as he can be, but we learned as he began training an old break in his pelvis was discovered. For that reason, Lakota will be a pasture pet but is wonderful with foals and a joy to be around. He has been companion to several foals (and other horses) at SERR and at Paradise because he gets along so well with others. Many thanks to Sammy and Kim Gately, as well as Noelle Mallory for their donations, time, and energy. This sweet pony received premium medical care during his stay at Paradise Stables- no expense was spared to diagnose his fracture and its origins. |


Trina Before Trina's rain rot was so bad that you could smell her rotting skin- it was a heartbreaking sight. She was patient with us from the beginning, seeming to know that we were there to help. In addition to rain rot she was underweight and quite atrophied. The vet said it was the worst case of rain rot that he'd seen in 15 years. Her former owner was charged with Animal Cruelty with the help of evidence and testimony from Serenity and our vets. See her page for more photos |

Trina After Trina was adopted in May of 2009 by a loving couple and she adores them as well, today she is healthy and loves to be ridden and is so happy to have a forever home. Check back soon for photos of her with her new mom and dad! |


Lovey Before Lovey came to us with cuts, marks from her halter being embedded, worms, and severe malnutrition. Who could neglect this sweet mare? In these 'before' photos we had already begun grooming her mane and tail, she immediately allowed our volunteers to work on her. |

Lovey After Today she is a wonderful horse to ride and be around and reminds us how some love and good veterinary care and nutrition can bring back a horse that no one wanted, returning them to a beautiful, happy equine companion. At the Microsoft Day of Caring Lovey made quick friends with one of the volunteers and has since been adopted. |

Mohave Before Mohave (formerly Melvin) came to us so severely malnurished and covered in lice, as well as full of internal parasites- we were unsure if he'd recover. He even seemed to have a neurological disorder, he seemed unstable on his feet when he arrived- would he make it? There were weeks where we went day by day, hoping this fellow was strong enough to live. Dr. Hannah Evergreen supported us in our efforts to help him heal, and it sure paid off. |

Mohave After Thanks to the amazing Dr. Hannah and the ongoing love and care from Patricia and our volunteers, Mohave went from a horse who we were not sure would survive to a stunning dressage horse. Mohave was adopted in 2008 and is thriving in his new home. This is Mohave with his owner Rio. Isn't he beautiful! |


Jake Before Jake was treated and is free now of his lice and worms but has a lot more healing to do. You can seein the photos the rough condition he is in, even a winter coat shouldn't look this bad. And yet Jake is a doll, he has the sweetest personality, he has made so much progress. |
Below is Jakes best freind Frankie 
Jake After Jake today, amazing what good nutrition, lots of love and attention and proper veterinary care will do. Jake was adopted with his friend Frankie by a wonderful family in eastern Washington. |


Dove Before Dove was emaciated when she came to us, unable to even produce milk for Jahmaal, her son. This sweet mom had given everything to her colt and was literally wasting away. He wasn't healthy but was in much better shape than his mom. She recovered enough to produce some milk but because Jahmaal was already close to weaned (from her lack of milk) and nursing was costing her health (and potentially her life) we were advised by our vet to wean Jahmaal at almost 5 months so Dove would have a chance. Dove has been adopted and is doing much better, updated photos coming soon. Her new owners are working closely with Serenity to continue her rehabilitation plan at home and are very capable of providing all she needs. Dove already received all initial vet care and shots/worming that could be done (like all horses at Serenity).

Cinnamin Before Though it was summer and she had been at Serenity long enough to get healthy, Cinnamin came to us pregnant though she was in her mid-twenties. Even worse, she got pregnant while in the care of an animal hoarder who called herself a 'rescue'. |

Cinnamin and Spice After Patricia delivered Spice, Cinnamin's colt who we cared for until he was weaned and gelded (like all our rescue foals). Thanks to her extensive experience, Spice was imprinted at birth and is a wonderful boy. Cinnamin and Spice were both adopted, and went on to be beloved pets. |
