Gracie was purchased at the Bowie Texas Livestock Auction as an O'Dwyer horse listed as needing urgent action. Gracie had been attacked by a stud and gotten caught in a fence before being sent to auction. We quickly purchased Gracie and contacted the local large animal veterinarian. Lawrence (in Bowie) transported Gracie to the Veterinarian where she was found to have an infected nasal cavity caused by 2 teeth the stud had crushed up into her upper jaw. After clearing the infections, the local vet removed both impacted teeth. Also, Gracie's leg was treated from when she got stuck in the fence. Gracie then went back to Lawrence's place for nursing care and recuperation. When she was recovered enough, Gracie was transported directly to our rescue along with Molly, May and BB King. Listed at auction as a Gelding, much to our surprise she arrived as a Mare.
Gracie, while still in quarantine, is doing great here in Tecate. She has gained weight and her injuries are healing beautifully. Gracie has recovered and has turned into a nice trail horse.
Gracie is just about available for adoption. See below a couple recent videos of how she moves. We have found that she is easy going, responsive, rideable, in good health and sound. We will be working on reminding her of various cues and skills. We expect her to be ready for adoption in March 2023.
