Joey's Story

A while back Powhatan Animal Control Officers were called out to investigate a carcass of a dead horse laying in a field only to discover that while the horse was emaciated and near death he was actually still alive. Representatives from the rescue were contacted and took the horse into their rehabilitation program and nursed him back to health. Latter they learned that Joey was, in his previous life, a champion in the show ring with many ribbons and awards. Joey is now back to full weight and health except he is blind in one eye and has severe cataracts in the other eye rendering him totally blind. He will be evaluated in the near future as a canidate for cataract surgery and we all wish him well. He is currently being fostered by one of the rescue volunteers. Thank you to everyone who has participated in his recovery.

                              You go girl!
