Scout was purchased at the Bowie Texas Livestock Auction as an O'Dwyer "Last Call" horse. Scout, an elder horse, had a growth on his right knee. Not knowing how much pain Paint was in, DJean quickly purchased Scout and contacted the local large animal veterinarian. Within 48 hours Scout colicked and was rushed to another local vet which kept him in isolation ICU for over a week and brought him to health. He is doing great, awaiting transport to California. We are some delayed with his travel as he has -- per the vet -- the loudest heart murmur she had ever heard. We want to make sure he can make the trip safely. September 2022 - Scout has successfully arrived at Tecate Horse Rescue. After about 10 days Scout has come out of a stupor, where he was just there. With the Senior Feed and friendly companionship he has come about and might actually become more than a "pasture horse". Scout and Jack were moved into their private pasture and then Zonker, a Jack, was moved in with them until the male donkey pasture is finished.
