Ginger

ADOPTED

Move Arrow Over Picture to See Ginger when She First  Arrived at AFER

Ginger

 1977 tattooed thoroughbred mare.

Ginger arrived to the safety of AFER's quarantine barn in February of 2006.

This fine lady probably bore numerous winners for the racetrack before completing her own successful career. Millions of dollars are made off good racehorses,

yet she was disposed of without even a second glance. She was so starved, there was nothing but skin and bones.  And her skin was coming off.  Rain rot.  Sickening. Numerous vet visits.  Ginger became the Purina Senior showcase mare.  After her 5 month progression, she was televised and is now shown to veterinarians at meetings throughout the country.

Update September 2007:  Ginger has been adopted and remains on at the AFER facilities working part time teaching potential horse lovers how to care properly for a horse!  She is sound and we will this month finally look her up her tatoo and see who she really is.  What fun!

Update February 15, 2008   The Jockey Club has confirmed that Ginger is "How Dry Cyane" now 32 years old!  If we were not there to save this horse she would have ended her life in a horrific way....after all those years of working for humanity....unreal.  She is currently fine and happy and her best friend in the world is Sierra.  They enjoy 24 hour turnout with a run in shed, so arthritic issues are not much of a worry, they do not stand around much.  Support us so we can be there for the next "Ginger"!

GINGER HAS ENTERED THE SANCTUARY~jUNE 1 2009 WITH HER LOVE, SIERRA!
