Apache

I recieved very sad news today from the animal protection coalition.  One of the horses had to be put to sleep.  You could just tell by looking at his pictures that he was a sweet boy.  We can take solace in the fact that he was shown love and kindness in his last days, which is more than he'd ever recieved prior to coming to the apc.  For those of you who are not familar with proper horse care, Apache's hooves were very poorly cared for.  This was not just a few months of neglect and abuse, this was years.  It takes a long time for hooves to look like this and with just 20 dollars every few months, his previous owners could have prevented this from happening.  Please, keep him in your thoughts and the people that cared for him as well.  For more on Apache please visit http://www.esfrescue.com/Apache.htm

I'm sorry that Apache had to be put to sleep. However, it is small comfort knowing that he had loving care near the end.
